5 Artists From the UNDRGRND Collection 

UNDRGRND DIGS is a periodical feature showcasing artists that the UNDRGRND curators dig. We sift through the social media and NFT platforms to find the best artists waiting to be discovered. UNDRGRND believes in the artists we feature and we will purchase NFTs from each artist featured.

Singer-songwriter, lyricist, & hip-hop artist, whatever you want to call him 1OF1NEO is making sure independent music artists are seen in the crypto art space. Part of the Hip-Hop on Tezos group with JBurn, 1OF1NEO and others are creating a new monetary model for music distribution. The best thing about Neo? His tracks come with cover art from some of UNDRGRND’s first artists featured over the past year. Underground hip-hop, UNDRGRND artists, and collaborations, this is what this scene is all about.

White noise were a prevalent occurrence in the world before modern televisions and cable internet. Now, you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone born this century that even knows that white noise was also once a visual tormentor, not just that soothing sound that helps put some of us to sleep. Daliesque makes white noise the focus of his series of the same name. Using the distortion creatively to make a statement on our current digital addictions; perhaps none clearer than the piece Overdose.

This is not Wonderland. Monikque has a tough relationship with Alice in Wonderland it seems. Using AI to create collages of an adult fairy tale that no one asked for but all feel represents the tale much more accurately. These not-quite horrifying scenes (but certainly not comforting) each have rabbits in a variety of scenarios, with enough meaning to dissect in each until the next bull run.

Aditya’s pixel art spans sci-fi space horror scenes to mundane occurrences in an alley with a flickering light, all set to music composed by Aditya. Each NFT uses the nostalgia of 70s-80s horror films along with the graphics from 80s tech to create music and visuals that update that period and bring it to the present.

KE Visuals will lull you into a trance with these 3D psychedelic loops. Using complex patterns and trippy music you can feel the vibrations created and begin to feel the pull into the NFT itself. Whether sober or inebriated these colorful take hold of the viewer's attention and won’t let go until the power of psychedelics is revealed to the most skeptical of minds.

Each UNDRGRND DIGS will feature artists our curators have purchased for the UNDRGRND Collection.
