I don't have to tell you, you already know how powerful music is. Nostalgia, joy, pain, hype, relaxation - it can do it all. For me, it absolutely does all of that and more.
With pfps, you're hoping that the team can develop a brand/product and your investment becomes fruitful. When I buy a song, I have ZERO concerns that the musician will continue to develop their work.
Wouldn’t it make sense if all of the web3 music platforms came together to form a larger exchange and each team could still focus on their “specialty” and be cross chain. Overlap user bases, expand discoverability, etc. Too idealistic??
One of my best friends passed in 2015, but I desperately wish he could've experienced this. I've never met anyone that immersed themself in music more. The experiences and conversations would've meant the world to him.
If anything, you can help elevate that artist's morale, monetarily, or both. The best part is, you don't have to own the music to enjoy it but sharing something you connect with can still make a huge impact.
I've had moderate success flipping/holding pfps but they started to bore me. The biggest concern for most "traders" is being rugged, and that's why I tend to avoid undoxxed teams. Being rugged isn't a concern to me with music though.
But like I said, I don't pick music to buy because I think I'll get rich. First, I have to like how it sounds. No shade at all if I don't, it just doesn't connect with me for whatever reason.
Now, I will 100% list something I've bought for 10x my purchase price. If someone wants it for whatever reason, I make money, the artist makes money, the new buyer is clearly happy, and I can reinvest.
What makes this music nft experience special for me, is just that - the experience. I never anticipated being able to connect with the artists that are there with me every day with their music.
Second, I have to be able to afford it. Meaning if tomorrow its worth 0, I'm still okay financially. Also, I'd like to be able to buy from and support more than one artist - so I can't spend it all on one drop.
I couldn't be more excited to announce the start of something new I'm curating, Mixtape Legends.
All of the details to come very soon, but in short I want to hear and see more hip hop in web3.
These artists have all have varying sounds that I love and I hope to shine more light
Whether it's in a DM or they push the envelope and test what is possible and connect to fans, it is a special feeling to share that connection no matter how brief.
I have a new idea.
Super simple.
We have A LOT of talk radio/podcast formats. While it’s admittedly nostalgic for me, I used to love listening to radio music with some banter in between.
So, from 10-11 AM ET daily on spaces, I’m going to play music radio style. Crazy right?
So it’s my birthday and just wanted to reflect briefly on the past yr.
Everything is changing constantly around us. Whether perceived bad or good, I’m learning every day how to make the most of it.
Thank you for the love and support every day. Please find joy in it, even the

Feels like a missed opportunity by

Matching music with the right visual aesthetic isn’t easy.
Here’s the 1st version of me showing love to those I think did an exceptional job:
The Love Below - Andre 3000
Truly a concept album. The sound takes you on a journey and the visuals could’ve been ANYTHING.

Thank yous below 👇
So there’s something like a million web3 conferences each yr with 10x as many speakers - who is booking music for the main events? Who wants to keep hearing the same talks with no entertainment?
KAWS… one of the biggest living artists of our time… is now on the founding team of a *digital* art platform

I wanted to formally let everyone know my time with Huddln/XP has come to an end.
Let’s work, dms are open!

There’s a misconception that more celebrities in the space will improve it. Majority of them will be late af, hence why they spend hundreds of eth on a single pfp.
Utility seems to have become a bad/shunned word lately in the Web3 space - especially when it comes to music.
@BlackDave
suggests swapping the word for experience.
A quick thread about some of the artists I've noticed going above and beyond to provide that experience 👇
Set your reminders -

Tune in as we talk about VA’s impact on hip hop, the latest headlines, and Jamee’s outro on Cam’s record…
I’m a sucker for great packaging. If done well, it makes you feel like the product was worth it just by taking delivery.
This is the experience that needs to be captured for digital products.
