This Week in Music NFTs - July 18

It’s a big week for Music NFT collectors.

Drops are back in full swing, with leading artists releasing free and affordable mints left and right thanks in large part to Sound enabling self-uploading.

Last week, we saw sold out drops from Reo Cragun, Ben Kessler, Peter Saputo, So Tuff So Cute and KINGSHIP - just to name a few.

This week - I’m gearing up for Daniel Allan’s Glass House, a 1000 edition drop featuring a unique rarity schema to debut his new EP.

Pair that with the Hume Genesis Pass and we’re in business.

The Hume Collective is the web3 label behind Angelbaby - the sector’s brightest metastar.

All three of Angelbaby’s free mints are currently sitting at a 1-2 ETH floor, paired with #1 trending slots on Audius.

With the Genesis Pass acting as priority access for future drops from Angel and beyond, consider this one worth keeping an eye on.

In other news, Alexander 23 released his debut album Aftershock. Following his recent tour with John Mayer - I’m guessing Alexander will be a household name within the next year.

What readers might not know is Alexander quietly dropped an acoustic version of his most popular song “IDK You Yet” on Sound a few months back. The official release has 400M plays.

When I heard the album - I was floored. He’s a close friend and showing all the signs of being a star.

So what did I do? I swept the floor.

These are the moments for collectors to read through the lines.

You see - being up on web3 is one thing.

Being up on breakout artists who have NFTs? That’s a whole other level.

What I’m saying is, Music NFTs favor the fans.

They favor those who show a deep love for music, far and beyond web3.

You can feel it in the air at a Good Karma Records showcase, and you can feel it on a Sound Listening Party.

So, if you’re a loyal reader - here’s to you.

There’s something brewing, and if you’re a curator, there’s never been a better time to shine.

Here’s what to watch for this week.
