Think I’m in love with you” muses X Li while contemplating the urgency of expressing his true feelings.think i'm in love with you...

It’s time for the new class of artists to shine.
This week saw sold-out drops from a wide variety of web3 artists - further cementing the developing pocket of up-and-coming acts.
We saw major labels making major moves as Warner announced a partnership with OpenSea.
While everyone loves to guess how Kanye or Drake might one day release NFTs, there’s a very real culture developing acts minting every day.
It’s gotten to the point where it’s basically all I think about - how do we empower the next generation of web3 artists?
And it’s not even about how to make them superstars - maybe that comes in time.
It’s about developing the culture and mentality about releasing new music with the world.
Unlearning that you don’t need to wait 6 weeks in between releases. That you don’t need to submit for editorial review 3 weeks in advance. That you don’t need a marketing strategy, a music video or a TikTok campaign.
To me - Music NFTs represent freedom of creativity and curation.
It’s here to support artists and their creations - however niche they may be.
It’s here to give curators and journalists a purpose, and a way to earn a living by collecting the music that will shape the next wave.
Outlets like Billboard are predicting that platforms like Sound will be where these artists break - and frankly, I couldn’t agree more.
Sound.xyz is positioning itself as the go-to hub for every artist in Web3 - and it's looking to break the space's first music superstar.
From the outside, you see 5-10 songs a week netting anywhere from 0.5 - 2 ETH a drop on average. By web3 standards, these markets are tiny.
But when you hop in a Twitter Space and hear the energy behind a drop like Frameworks selling 333 editions in 2 minutes - you start to feel the energy.
If you’re reading this, you’re a part of that momentum.
It’s very real - and it’s only going to grow.
Here’s what to watch for this week.
Reo Cragun crushes his debut EP on the Sound Protocol
Sold out within minutes. Thank you to all of the collaborators and to everyone supporting!!!
One of the three largest major labels partners with OpenSea for more drops.
Zora announces an acquisition of Music NFT player FutureTape
