tl;dr: Black Dave Token is a bet on the artist, not the asset. Mint as many as you’d like here. Yo! I’ve been racking my brain around what the next set of content around Black Dave Token looks like. I didn’t realize how complacent I’d grown around the idea of rolling things out over an extended period of time, as releasing NFTs is largely focused around the campaign ending when you sell the token. My initial plan was to start trying to court institutional money, from platforms and marketplace...

tl;dr: I’ve got 1,000,000 tokens for mint to raise a total of 250 ETH for my ideas and projects. Head here to mint yours. Hi! I hate a lot of things but for the context of opening this conversation up (I hope what I’m writing here becomes a conversation), I hate decks. Having made decks for things spanning from music festivals to events to business ideas, I’ve grown familiar with them. My girlfriend, who is my biggest supporter in my journey to wherever I’m going, texted me one day saying Sal...

Hey! Hi! Hello! I’ve got a few new music NFT thoughts I want to share with you guys. I feel like every few weeks I’m realizing a few different things, but the one thing I’ve consistently been able to say is that there’s no one way to get it in this web3 shit, and I hope what I share with y’all presents more and more possible ways you can. tl;dr: I’ve collaborated with the metal band September Mourning on remixing their song Wake the Dead, available as an NFT on Sound. Mint yours now before th...

tl;dr: Kindred Hearts is an NFT minting now that will donate half of each mint to the American Heart Association until January 31. Mint here. Hey! Hi! Also! Hello! I’m back with a sort of followup to my recent post, Web 3 as a Tool for Ambitious Artist Funding, now talking about other ways to use web3 technology to support the ambitions of others through charitable giving. Upon the release of Black Dave Token, I began down the path of possibility when it came to funding with audacity and ambi...

Hey. For my birthday Mirror gifted me $WRITE token and now my URL is upgraded to blackdave.mirror.xyz and I couldn’t be more pumped. That’s not what this post is about but I’m pumped and wanted to say something about it. Click the subscribe button top right. Let’s get into this actual post: I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how more and more platforms, marketplaces and tools are continuing to be built for artists, but very few are being built for fans and collectors in web3. I’m not gonna...

Yo! Again! I’ve got a new set of thoughts for you, this time around scarcity of NFTs, especially music NFTs. tl;dr: I’ve dropped an NFT that’s available in unlimited quantities for 0.01 ETH until December 31, 2022. Mint yours here. I’m calling it “Always On”Do Music NFTs Need To Be Scarce?I’ve been thinking a lot about the concept of music as fine art and how NFTs give us an opportunity to create that in a way that we haven’t been able to, especially since music became digital. I think part o...

Yo! I'm back with another one! Hope you enjoy. Back in September, I penned a piece called "Thoughts on Music NFT Scarcity" where I talk about NFT rarity not being the only way to use the technology, despite rarity being a sort of "feature" of NFTs. At the same time, I released a song called Calm Down, which I would describe as an energetic build up to the refrain "Calm down" repeated until the song ends. Calm Down was released as an NFT on Zora as an open edition, meaning that an unlimit...

Yo! Back for another “Making it NFT as a Rapper” post, which essentially details what I’ve been up to as someone making rap music in Web3 and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. It’s been a long time since I checked in with y’all like this, but since I’m dropping on Sound for my birthday on the 15th, I figured this is a good time to holla at everyone.TitanDemonBane X Black Dave - SOUNDXYZMost of the year has been in a bear (down) market, so people have been trying to adjust accordingly.

Hey. Been a while. Since joining the realm at the end of 2020, this year as a creator using web3 tech has been pretty rough for me in terms of sales. I've released a handful of things that have gone unminted, performed below expectations, and forced folks to reconsider their strategies. Trying to make moves while living on a version of the edge of your finances is tough, but still better than working a 9-5. As I continue to traverse the terrible market conditions, hopefully dumping my th...

Hey! It's been a few months since the last update, and while the market conditions haven't changed much, I'm still here in web3 trying to get to it. I just dropped a collection of songs on streaming platforms in a project called SS23. This post might read more like an "update" as to what I have going on, but hopefully you'll be able to grab some info from how I'm approaching things.Did web3 even want the music?Something I've been coming to blows with a bit these ...

A week ago, I wrote this, a post called “Thoughts on Community Support” that was the explanation and initiation of a plan to support my homie Shawntel, one of my favorite folks in web3. The plan promises you a song of mine, Oh Yes, if you had collected an edition of the Lotus Flower Bomb NFT from Shawntel. The idea is that artists can find more direct ways to support each other by offering something tangible (digitally tangible?) to people who support your internal communities. I keep wanting...
