# INTRODUCING: THE BEACON

There’s a journey we all need to take as we embrace who we’ve transformed into.

My past has taught me that those journeys are best taken alone; that to let anyone in too early leaves you vulnerable to be hurt by people you shouldn’t have trusted, or worse -

Infected by someone else’s pain

Hindering who you could have become or what you could have created

I started to take this journey alone and along the way, I encountered something unique. wrapped in emotions that I’ve buried, memories I’ve locked, and a trail of heartbreak i swore I wouldn’t look back on.

This piece will be responsible for my some of my most confronting and ambitious art yet.

And I want to take you with me from the beginning.

> From inception, to writing camps, all the way to the end, **I want you to see every detail of this next project.**

Starting **Friday, July, 14th** I’ll be live-streaming on [Hypeshot](https://www.hypeshot.io/profile/x&nd) every writing session, production session, and mixing/mastering session (when available).

The locations will be unknown, anywhere from New York, Atlanta, all the way to Sydney Australia and you’ll be notified via text [(Laylo)](https://laylo.com/xandforshort/I1fHz) or on my socials an hour before each stream.

Each livestream can only be accessed using THE BEACON. Hold onto it, because it’ll grant you access to:

*   every live-streamed session in its entirety
    
*   access to a token-gated portal of demos from every session uploaded in real time
    
*   ability to vote on your favorite demos along the entire journey
    
*   symbolic credits on the finished project
    
    and more
    

Mint THE BEACON Exclusively on Hypeshot:

**XANDYLAND was just the beginning.**
