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 ...

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...
Black DaveCalm Down, the Recap
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...

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 to say intracommunity, which autocorrect didn’t flag so that’s what I’m saying.
After throwing up a series of tweets about the article, the response was amazing, and within 48 hours we had sold through all 20 editions! Honestly, I didn’t think it was going to work. I wasn’t sure if using my platform to leverage getting someone else paid was going to work. I was shocked enough that it hadn’t sold out before I decided on this idea. It worked though, thanks to the community supporting the community. Love it.
I don’t have much to say besides thanks(!) and this is really cool. I hope this inspires someone else to take the initiative to support and uplift someone in their community. If you supported this initiative with supporting Shawntel’s Lous Flower Bomb NFT artwork, get yours now by clicking here. Just pay gas. ✌️
