Yo! I wanna talk to you guys about my next NFT release, my first on @mintsongs! Thereโs a free NFT in this thread, so read ahead to learn more. I wanna talk a bit about my mind around minting a music NFT on Polygon vs Ethereum, so letโs get into it.
If youโve ever heard me talk to folks about what chain they should be, I often talk about a perception of value that comes with on a low gas blockchain, like Polygon or Tezos or Solana or whateverโฆand how I feel that many, if not most artists are underselling themselves on em.
I believe that Ethereum is a high value chain, in terms of primary sales, as well as holding value. I believe that the other chains are great for high volume, but the idea of value on it is quite different.
I think if BAYC airdropped Mutant Apes, or even BAKC on Polygon instead of a claiming process on Ethereum, they would be essentially worthless.
When I was initially thinking about dropping on @mintsongs โ I was thinking โthis could be a really great way to get a lot of copies of music out to people who wanna collect my music but havenโt had a chance toโ & I think thatโs such what makes Mint Songs so unique.
I thought to myself instead โwhat if we can change the perception of value of music NFT on Polygon?โ using Mint Songs as a catalyst for that. I thought this would be a perfect time to experiment, so Iโm jumping into my drop experimenting.
First: Taking advantage of the unique proposition of Polygon and how affordable it is to use, Iโm dropping a handful of free to claim NFTs using Mint Songsโ โpostersโ feature. Itโs free to claim & if you donโt have a wallet itโll help you set up via email:

First.A: Hereโs the poster. Obviously, or maybe not obviously, Iโm dropping โWolfโ:
Second: โWolfโ is a 3-song EP, and the experiment here is that Iโm dropping something rock-focused, as opposed to how I normally drop something rap focused. I think thereโs a need for rock music to enter the NFT space and I wanna be a part of that story, not just a feat of mine.
Atop that I experimented with using orchestral sounds in my production, so itโs sort of designed to be something really heavy juxtaposed against something much lighter.
Third: I know I said earlier that @mintsongs โ and Polygon โ is great for doing high edition, low price point NFTs but Iโm going to give the single edition NFT a shot. All three songs will be 1 of 1, and priced similarly to my ETH NFTs that are single edition.
Whatโs great is that alongside this, I can drop something thatโs completely free to claim, and offer rewards to those folks down the line for supporting me. Get yours here:

Iโm a believe that shifting the outside perception of value on these other chains starts with us, so Iโm going to give it a shot.
Iโll be releasing โWolfโ on March 10th. Poster available now. twitter.com/mintsongs/status/1498691082351169537
As always, thanks for joining me in this thread. I hope this explains my idea around โwhat chain should I mint on?โ & helps you realize the power is ours! Share this thread with someone, get the poster (itโs free!) And leave some comments for conversation
