DAVIDO THE KING OF AFRO-BEAT CHOOKY PARTY #Chooky #ChookyXDavido
Recorded: Oct. 2, 2023 Duration: 2:26:42Space Recording
Full Transcription
I will not lie to you.
We all need to sign a petition to get rid of Twitter opening elevator music.
It is so bad.
The hype in here is going to be surreal, guys.
One of the biggest artists in the world right now.
A man who sold out a festival that could not earn their interest without him until he announced.
And then the salesman parabolic, the whole country of fucking Australia, came to see this man.
He is one of my favorite artists in the world right now.
We've been on him since 2021.
And a lot of these believers, he's got a nation and continent that back him to the hills.
He is the king of fucking Afrobeat.
And he'll be joining us for spaces very soon, guys.
We're all super excited.
This is one of the most historic spaces in crypto history.
And it's going to be such a pleasure for us to get to share the stage with such a humble, important figure in the Afrobeat genre scene.
So, in my opinion, he's just beginning his career.
He's on the cusp and verge of being one of the biggest global superstars ever.
I love his music.
I love what he stands for as a man.
And I'm very privileged to be in this position where we get the opportunity to discuss things with him and his team.
And it's a very welcoming experience.
It's very overwhelming for me.
I know I'm probably going to be very emotional on this space.
This is like a dream come true for me to get to position with these people and talk with these people.
He's a hero of mine.
So, we're very fucking excited.
Everybody, I can see all the DeVito fans already in the spaces.
Wanda, thank you so much for the tweet, brother.
And Sergeant and Solomon OT has been in touch with us.
He said, you guys handle everything with class.
So, I don't expect any less.
I'm fucking so excited.
I don't know if people can hear me quivering already.
I've got goosebumps.
I can't fucking wait until his energy is in this space.
As I said, this guy is a hero of mine.
I love his music.
I love what he stands for as a human being.
And everybody appreciates him and adores him for the human that he is.
And everything that he does is contagious.
That smile is a global, iconic emblem.
That smile.
He just lights up a fucking room.
Every one of his songs is a banger.
He's one of the most consistent artists in the world.
And we're getting that opportunity to share space with him.
Which I'm very privileged to get the opportunity to do such.
So, we're going to have a good time in the build-up, guys.
We're going to fill out this room.
We're going to try and educate people on what it is we're doing.
Try and have the fans come up and ask some questions.
Hopefully, he'll have enough time.
Obviously, he's got a very busy schedule.
A very hectic schedule.
As I said, he just sold out a massive festival and blew the fucking roof off the place in Australia.
And it's his first time in the country.
He's getting that global recognition, that global support that he rightfully deserves.
His music is banging.
Afrobeat is hot on the scene because of DeVito.
So, I love him.
He's an icon.
He's a legend.
He's on the cusp of being one of the biggest globally recognized artists.
And he fucking deserves it.
Above all else, a human like that, he deserves it.
And we're very honored to get that opportunity.
So, yeah, Logan, if you want to play some music, let's get this fucking party started.
Yeah, let's get this party.
I'm so freaking excited.
This is huge.
I've been telling you guys how messy this is going to be.
But, yeah, let's play some Jams by DeVito.
Some of my favorite ones, okay?
I'll just play some of my favorite ones.
I just want to hear...
Calling you tonight.
Let's go, baby.
Calling you tonight.
Let's see some reactions in the house.
Let's retreat this space.
Let's get it around.
Let's fucking go, baby.
Hello, Angus.
I don't even know what the words mean, but I can fucking feel it.
And when you feel something, and it excites you, that's all you need in the music.
And the touch is the magic.
Here we go, hold it.
Jungle.
Woo!
I want to see some reactions, guys.
Let's go.
Some hearts for DeVito.
Let's go.
Everybody, show some love.

In history.
Twitter has never seen such a big event.
DeVito's making it happen, baby.
Let's fucking go.
Let's go, guys.
The upcoming video for that is going to win a fucking Grammy.
It's insane.

It's fucking beautiful to see this turnout.
Everybody retweet.
Get this awareness on this space.
We're gonna have some fucking fun.

This isn't a fucking interview.
This is a passionate artist come on expressing himself.
So, everybody, we're all super excited.
Let's keep up the vibes.
Let's do some reactions.
Retweet the space.
Let's fucking go.
I'm, like, checking the tweets about Chucky and around the video.
Like, this is blowing up, guys.
Keep tweeting.
Keep smashing it up.
Measuring it up.
Let's go.
Y'all ready for another banger?
Don't ask.
I have to play some of my faves, though.
Okay, let's see.
Let's see.
Please.
Please.
Please.

Please put on the biggest vibe of a song.
Somebody.
For Judah Man.

You just want somebody.
I want to listen to that song.
I want to jam.
Okay, I'm gonna play it.
Uba!
Wait.
I'm gonna play some body.
We're calling you tonight.
We just heard this one.
Come on.
We just heard this one
Come on, he's got so many bangers
Let's go
You can play any one of his records
And we would all be vibing in here
Yes, baby, voodoo
You know the things, right?
Oh my god, I love this
I said the night is over
I said the night is over
I said the night is over
I need a somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody
Somebody wait
Don't know me
Don't know me
What a bear
Fuck me
Let's go
Oh my god
Let's freaking go
He doesn't miss a beast
He doesn't miss a beast
This is why people fucking love him
This is why his fans adore him
It's not just his image
It's the person he is
The music he makes
This is Afrobeat
Nobody understood how good Afrobeat was
Until this guy he met
It fucking happened
The biggest Afrobeat artist ever
Ever
Yeah
I don't know if you can speak now
I know you've been very busy
How you doing
Somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody
Hard on me
Somebody, somebody, somebody
Somebody with a gang, yo
Gang, yo
See you next to a bus stop
What a boy, man
What a boy
If you know, you know
Let's go
If you know, you know
You could never get sick of these tunes, man
Afrobeat just hits different, man
It's so groovy
It's different, you know
Move your hips
It makes you feel something out of the way
It excites you
It gets the blood pumping
That's what's on
I would dispute that it makes you move more
Than salsa music
It's so groovy
That fusion with pop
That's perfect synchronisation
That DeVito has found
Through all his albums
And his progression as an artist
To where he's at right now
Timeless for me
Is like a perfect album
Like it hits
The consistency
Every song
Is just amazing
It's great to see him
Getting the recognition he deserves
One day
I don't know if we can talk, man
But very nice to meet her
We've heard great things
How come of a name?
We've heard great things
Do you like this?
I think you move
But very nice to meet her
We've heard great things
We've heard great things
And so
I think you sind
Whoo
Oh, baby
You never could define
From these 70

Yeah, we're ready for the next banger.
Yeah, give it a few minutes
so we can have a little bit of a chat.
If you don't mind, Logan.
Wanda, can you hear me, my guy?
No, I know he's very busy.
He's probably just tuning in, listening into the space.
Toby, HQ, I've seen you tweeting about it as well.
So it's good to see a lot of the DeVito fan base
joining in and tuning in.
As I said, look, we're very much so looking forward
to the opportunity to get to hear from the man himself.
As I said, he's one of my heroes.
I'm an aspiring unknown artist myself.
We founded this company basically to give fans
an opportunity to share in their art of success
with our royalty sharing through crypto.
So we can get into that topic later on.
We're not going to fucking overcomplicate things.
I want to celebrate DeVito here.
This is a good fucking time.
This is going to be a party.
This ain't going to be an interview format.
I don't quiz people.
I want to have a good time
and I want you guys to have a good time
listening to DeVito.
And hopefully we'll get some of you guys
who are diehard fans up to ask questions
and we won't take up too much time.
We're just going to enjoy the moment.
We're going to celebrate this.
This is a fucking chukie party.
And yeah, we're going to celebrate
the most decorated Afrobeat artist
in the fucking world.
He's going to be a global icon soon enough.
This guy is on his way to superstardom.
When that feel video drops,
I reckon that's going to cause
so much fucking noise.
It's going to reinvigorate everyone's interest.
Timeless is one of the top trending
albums in the US right now.
Five years ago,
people didn't even know
what the fuck Afrobeat was.
And this man made it happen.
He's got the backing of a continent now.
He's got the backing of a continent.
He's featured with some of the biggest artists
in the world like Khaled,
Lil Baby,
Chris Brown,
Nicki Minaj.
Oh, man.
I'm so fucking pumped.
Damn.
So excited.
This is unreal, guys.
This is freaking unreal.
This is massive.
This is massive, guys.
Wow.
It's such a privilege
to get the opportunity
to share a space
with not only DeVito himself,
but his fans.
And his fans are some
of the most amazing people
in the world.
The way you guys back your boy,
it reminds me of how
Our Nation backed Conor McGregor.
Now, I'm not saying
they have similarities,
but he was such a polarizing figure.
And the way that Nigeria
and the continent of Africa
supports DeVito,
it must make him very proud.
And he's one of the most
appreciative,
gracious artists
in the world.
Like, he's truly grateful
to all his fans.
And you can tell that
just by the energy
he has in all his videos.
That smile, guys.
Like, it lights up
a fucking room.
So, yeah, look,
it's going to be
a crazy space, guys.
I'm really looking forward to it.
I've got questions prepared,
but, yeah,
I'm going to be
freaking out, basically.
I'm going to have goosebumps.
I'm already sweating
at the thought
of having this guy
on a stage.
Oh, my God.
Crazy.
I'll probably end up crying
and I won't lie to you.
Like, it's a very
emotional experience
and it's overwhelming.
But, yeah, look,
he's one of my heroes
and I'm sure that he's
a lot of your guys' heroes
and he inspires you guys
to do better.
And he's a good,
he's a good force
for the world.
So, yeah,
it's a privilege
that we're getting
a chance to align
ourselves with him.
When he's on the verge
of doing bigger things,
he's at the beginning
of his career.
I know people are saying,
like, Timeless
it's such a big album.
It's such a big album,
but, like,
I reckon DeVito's got
so much more in store.
And, like,
he's going to be
a global superstar,
as I said.
And he's a pioneer
for a complete genre
of music.
He will always be aligned
in Afrobeat history.
And it's music
that should have been heard
long before he ever came.
So, the fact that
that's like a fusion
now with pop
and you're hearing
all NBA stars
playing it
and it's becoming
a cultural thing.
So, yeah,
massive.
And this guy
is one of the
founders
of this
and a pioneer
to this.
And I know
the continent of Africa
backs him.
Everybody in Nigeria
fucking loves him.
It's a beautiful thing.
And he deserves it.
He deserves it.
I'm looking forward
to this space, guys.
Everybody that has
their hands up,
just be patient.
We'll try and get
the questions
towards the end of it.
As I said,
we don't want to
take up too much time.
We don't want to
overcomplicate the space.
We want everybody
that's in here
to have a good
fucking time.
So, let's see
some reactions.
Let's see some hundreds.
Let's see some hearts.
Let's see some hands.
Let's see some claps.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Read out the space.
That's what I'm talking about.
Let's go.
Hi, love.
Let's go.
Let's make some noise.
Hi, Logan.
Hi, Chukki.
This is Whitney.
Thank you for hosting this space.
And as we wait
for the video
to come in here,
I'd like to suggest
that you please
include a hashtag
because the fans
are waiting
to distribute
and tell us
what they feel
in our moment.
So, please
include the hashtag
so that when
we're not able
to get everybody
on the space
to speak,
at least we can
read out their comments
and everything
they have to say
concerning the space
to date.
So, I just wanted
to chip that in.
I don't know
if Wanda has something
to say.
Whitney,
you are all business girl.
I didn't expect that.
I appreciate it.
You are all business.
Listen to this girl.
When it comes to David,
though,
we don't play.
We make sure
everything is right.
So, I get it now.
I get it now.
Why he's such a well-eyed machine.
He's got such a good
fucking crew behind him.
That's exactly why.
100.
It's a secret formula.
Not many people
have luxury to.
You're all business,
Whitney.
I respect that.
Exactly.
I respect it.
Listen to her, guys.
Hashtag.
Retweet the space.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Exactly, guys.
I'm looking.
Literally,
Twitter is getting smashed.
I've seen so many tweets.
Keep it coming, guys.
Let's show the cheeky power.
Y'all have been waiting
for this moment.
I know it's massive.
I know we're all excited.
I have goosebumps
all over my hands.
I was waiting for it.
When I heard
it was the video,
I was like,
wow,
no freaking way, man.
This artist
is something else.
He collabed
with some of my favorite
all-time artists as well.
I mean,
Chris Brizzy,
you have Nicki Minaj as well.
You have everyone
just joining.
I'm super excited
to be here.
And, guys,
keep it smashing
on Twitter.
This is massive.
And this is just
the beginning.
Let's get this party
continued.
Yes.
And, Chucky,
I don't know,
are you going to put out
the hashtag
or Logan is going
to do that?
Yeah, I'll do that.
We both can.
Yeah, we'll serve as soon.
Okay.
And do you know
what you're doing yet?
Sorry, Whitney.
Do you know
what hashtag
you're including
to the right top
or at the top
of the screen?
Let me, yeah,
let me actually add
that now,
two seconds.
I'll just put
hashtag Chucky,
I suppose.
Yeah.
I can do that as well.
Should I get a Twitter trend in?
Should I get a Twitter trend in?
I can get somebody
to trend those on Twitter
and we'll fucking
have a big blog.
Yes.
Yes.
I'm expecting this
to crash
Twitter spaces.
Like the thing is,
DeVito moves
and a fucking army
follows him.
I've never seen
anything like it
in my whole life.
This festival
that he's headlined
in Australia
was a last minute thing
and Sarge told us,
Solomon,
the guy you know,
Whitney,
the guy you're close with,
one of our associates
and co-founders,
he said that
they couldn't sell out
a fucking seat
and then DeVito
announces he's going
to Australia
and all of a sudden,
boom,
they wanted to add
another 50,000 seats
to the stadium
or the event
or the venue.
They couldn't get
enough tickets.
DeVito blew the roof
off the fucking place.
He's just adored
by so many people.
He's in a wave
right now
where he's just,
he's on top of the world
and I think he's
only getting started.
Like I really do.
I'm a big admirer
of what the Afrobeat
seems to come in
and I think he's one of the,
like he is aligned
as the best.
Like he is so consistent
with his music.
He writes about things
that he's passionate about
and it evokes feeling
because he tells a story.
Like a lot of his songs
like Stand Strong,
that's a very emotional song.
Feel is a very emotional song.
Unavailable,
although that would be
regarded as his biggest hit.
It tells a story
and it evokes feeling
and somebody's another one
that evokes feeling.
A lot of his early stuff
and his lot of sentimental value
that people resonate with
and I think that's why
people appreciate him
as much as they do
as well as like
all his videos.
He looks happy.
He looks like he's having
a good time
because he has that freedom
of expression
to be who he is
and people love him for it
and yeah,
I'm a big fan.
I can't fucking wait.
As I said,
I have goosebumps.
Like this is a huge opportunity
for me
to get to talk
to someone like this
and to get,
to experience this
with your team,
Whitney,
and like to have your embrace
with our community.
It's a beautiful thing
and I really appreciate
the opportunity
and I really appreciate
the time you guys
have put into this
because I know
you've been working
on getting it over the line
all weekend
and there's a lot
of these things
that go into this.
It's not just
a flash in the pan
and let's jump on a space.
These guys have
very busy schedules
and the fact that
you can fit us in
that warms my heart
and I really do appreciate it
and we've really paid the faith
a hundred times over
I promise you guys.
Let's get some more music on.
Let's get some reactions
up in here.
Let's get some retweets.
Retweets outside guys.
Let's go, let's go guys.
The hashtag is Chucky.
I've just tweeted about it.
Papi, if you want to
you know,
pin this
or make a tweet as well,
guys,
use the chat,
use the tag
Chucky
in order to, you know,
engage with the space.
We're getting started guys.
Let's go.
He doesn't release
bad music.
It just makes you want to groove.
I'm walking down the road
because I had to leave my house.
Oh my God, I see.
It's half past three
in the morning.
I haven't slept a wink.
I couldn't be at home
because I would have
walked my missus up
but I'm just too damn
fucking excited.
I'm walking out here
in the open air
half three in the morning
and I love it.
What?
What else can we do?
Let's go.
We're blowing up Twitter, guys.
Keep it coming.
Holy shit.
So many tweets.
Use the tag,
two-piece,
so your tweet
doesn't get lost
so we can engage
with all of them
during the spaces.
Let's go.
If that music
doesn't make you happy,
what do you even do
with your life?
I'm sorry.
You have to vibe
with this kind of music.
Oh my God.
I'm literally shaking it
walking up and down the road.
I don't care.
It's the middle of the morning.
I'm just vibing it.
I'm buzzing it.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
I'm just dancing in my office.
Like, how can you not?
I mean, damn.
David does it differently, guys.
Oh, well,
I can imagine being
at that event in Australia
where he's just,
he's live performances
or something else.
He's a fantastic artist,
fantastic singer
and, yeah,
he's one of the most
exciting artists in the world.
He's a polarizing figure.
He's a cultural movement.
Afrobeat's going to be
one of the most popular
forms of music
in the next three to five years.
And he's the biggest artist
in Afrobeat.
Oh my God.
I've seen so many supporters
joining
and all the bit of fun,
baby.
There's something else.
Let's go.
Jeez,
it's like an army
of the Beatles.
Like, this is...
This is an army.
I love it.
I love it.
That's what this is about,
because it's about
having fucking fun.
Oh my God.
Vibing.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
This one is my favorite.
You know,
the middle hat to pull up
summer water.

React to her way.

correct me if i'm wrong we used to host it like every friday and we had a uh hashtag for it it was
30bg space and davido and his crew they tune in once in a while and i remember one time or has it
happened even once davido would come on the space and just say something you know say one of his
top words and the space would go bonkers i'm telling you and sometimes he just tweets the
hashtag all he needs to do is tweet the hashtag and the space is full so yes we have a very big
space for davido and oh my god so you you are a community builder this is i never understood the
secret sauce no i respect it i'm just one of the little voices around the space right but you know
who you can hang on to that that should be uh one day he is the community builder
i respect that i respect that because we have a lot of the same principles of community building
being organic and staying true to the people that are in their community and following support
yes that's a lot of same principles this is one of the many ways we show him our support we're not
just on twitter tweeting or liking his song to his songs when it's time for action we pull up
and that's facts and there's a crew there's an absolute crew one day tweeted and i got smashed
like my notifications were ding ding ding ding ding what the fuck is going on it's like is there an
earthquake or something no davido's in the house baby when davido joins this space you better

space with some good speakers because i have a tendency to go on a rant and not take a breath
and i'm hard to understand and have a slur so yeah and it's going to be uncontrollable now i'm
probably i'm probably going to cry on this space as good warning you don't laugh at me
as far as you don't mute the rest of us from speaking because when he comes on this space
i don't think you'd even hear your own voice no oh my god i'm expecting this the spaces to
malfunction like i i'm i'm really hoping that elan has done like the fucking updates or updates in

because i don't know what's all i'm sorry
begging you up when you're feeling down

she's loving that you can't see her
what's who my new hope but you're fat
what's who my own love if you like you are
okay all ready for another banger okay can you cut it a second logan i want to ask sarah
so sergeant right i know you live down the gold coast i know you're in australia i know the city
was dead and then the veto came to town and it turned into a fucking madhouse what's it been
like over the weekend since his arrival bro is sergeant there is he too busy for me
no i think he's too busy for me damn how have you felt going in australia guys whitney or wanda
sorry can you ask that again how have you how have you found australia how has it been since
you've arrived what australia yeah yeah since the event and all the things that have happened
well i haven't really had time to go through all the details but you know we're here and i'm still
waiting to hear more of it ah you're the business you're behind the scenes you're the business in
the back i'm low low yeah one day one day he's the forefront guy look you have to ask him these
questions you're throwing at me throw them at one day he is always in the forefront i'm always behind
you know i only come to you know give out my voice that's i think the best part of being a david old
stand or fan i use my voice to you know show him how much of a supporter and the fan i am
that's beautiful and that's what makes the community element of it and without you guys
there wouldn't be as much admiration for the artists and you play such a big role in this
beloved fan base and beloved following and without the team executing on all cylinders like these guys
are very busy they have hectic schedules and like your team must be very busy very fucking busy
and valid too i think we could use the um conversation or discussion going on in both
um hashtags to maybe do um sort of a ice break on the space before the video joins us
what is that sorry the conversations going on right when you explore the hashtag chuki or
jx davido i think there are some conversations going on um right there so i was wondering we
could use some of them to um start up a icebreaker on the space before the video joins we could already
and maybe get people on the space to talk that's a great idea yeah let's do it um i've seen some
guys hands up for a bit so amg you've actually had your hand up for a bit do you want to come up
talk brother or sister i don't want to discriminate i'm sorry it just looks like a guy's picture
so maybe chuki i can start with you how about you or logan how about you do like an introduction let
us know because not every davido fan knows about chuki or what chuki does so it'll be good to let us
know who you are and what you do and then that would um maybe free up a lot more space for us to be
able to interact with this space party a hundred percent yeah for sure um sorry i'm just trying to
set up trending now for us so that we can uh uh have this trending um two seconds now sorry about
this no i don't mean to be ignorant i'm just trying to get the hashtag trending for us get that extra
exposure get that extra oomph but yeah basically what we are is we're a collection of artists
we understand the industry we've been through the trials and tribulations that you have to go
through as an artist where you fund all your own music you get close to record label deals and then
you understand how much they extort you and to a point where you don't even own your own name
um and it's a very fraudulent industry they extort artists and through crypto we all came together
um and we we came across ot and alicia and we've been working since so basically what we are is
we're changing the narrative around the label standard we're removing 360 deals we're doing
one-off contracts with artists where we give them a 50 share their royalties and from our royalty share
instead of putting it in our pockets we allow fans collectibles and share in the proceeds and all the
royalties of their favorite artist song so the way i was doing it and i i don't know how much money
unavailable has earned so i just went off of itunes downloads i went off of uh single plays i went
off of obviously streams views and done as much statistical and logistics um analysis i could to
determine what i would estimate the song has earned just from streams and with our nfts had we done a
selection for unavailable specifically with the amount of streams it's had each owner of that nft would
have netted 150 to 200 that's an experience that hasn't been offered in the music industry where
fans can actually earn from their artists and i know that davido is all about legacy he's all about
his fans and he's on the cusp of having a song that does billions and billions of streams so imagine
you own the collectible somebody like davido let's say record that hits billions of streams and you own
one of these collectibles you're going to earn thousands and thousands of dollars the rest of
your life and that's what we're offering through the blockchain we appreciate artists for who they
are we want to enable them to create we want to give them the freedom of expression that they deserve
too many music labels in the industry nowadays suppress artists they regurgitate them up recycle them
make them who they want them to be make their music and they're no longer original they're no longer who
they are they've been stripped back and their soul has been sold so we respect artists like davido who
is true to who he is expresses himself freely and his music is fucking brilliant he's a pioneer in the
industry and we respect the hell out of him for it and we love it we love him dearly like we've been
following him a very long time since 2021 um sarge put us on his radar uh but put him on our radar
will i say and we've watched his career grow and um yeah he inspires us the people like him inspire us
you know and we're just getting started we just we just released our first song called chukie
we have a upcoming massive hip hop artist he's one of the biggest in the world that's going to
collaborate on a song with us that's coming out soon we're going to be releasing more music with
alicia and ot and we're going to try and onboard as many artists that want to change the industry with
us so that's what we are we're after legacy we're not here for the money if we were here for the
money we'd operate like any other music label we want fucking fans to win we want the artists to
win that's what we're fucking here for at the end of the day we're here for the people we're not here
for anybody else we're here for ourselves we're here to line our pockets we're here to make some
good fucking music have a vibe and allow fans to share in the success of their favorite artists
that's what we facilitate as a service i don't want to overcomplicate things i could get into all
the crypto nitty-gritty stuff that's simply what we do and yeah i think it's a good experience for
fans to actually be able to share in the royalties of their favorite artists so no thank you whitney
for asking that question wow thank you so much that's quite a very brilliant and detailed um
introduction to chuki and what you do um as a person and as a as a businessman i think one of
the things i took away from everything you said was the fact that you're able to offer artists like
a one-off contract which i don't think a lot of um label um or record labels do so that's something
that would really really change um a lot of um things in the music industry and of course fans
earning from um the revenues of their favorite artists that is crazy i've never heard a thing
like this before and i would really love to know more about it and love to know how it works yeah so i
know a lot of 30bg fans are in the house and they're wondering okay how does this work i think
um as as time goes on as we get to know more about why we're here today when davido joins us
we would get into the details and of course yeah you'd go away with something very tangible and get
your information right not for sure whitney i think it's a good way to educate people and i know
people's narratives around nfts and crypto isn't so great and sentiment and perception of crypto is
it's a scam but we're a team operating here as a legitimate corporation a legitimate company
we have a proof of reference on our song and what we can deliver with our connections and
discussions with these artists are ongoing every day and sergeant's been at the forefront of all
that and we have a great opportunity to do something right in this space and make it a fair
environment for upcoming artists it's not just about the established names it's not just about
the money that's in the industry it's about actually nurturing talent and ensuring that they have
that freedom of expression to be who they are and that's that's what it's all about and as an artist
myself as a creator um i i want to facilitate that opportunity for fans to earn in their artist
royalties as well as what we're doing for artists so i'm very excited about it um obviously we're we're
in the very early stages but we have a lot of negotiations done we've been working flat out for
nearly 12 months and i think you guys can appreciate the grind because i know you guys hustle you grind
like like no other team i've ever seen and you guys are everywhere like i swear to god i i see
davido all over the place it's crazy i think the guy's a time traveler i see him in so many different
contexts and different tours doing so many different things now i understand why he's got a great team
and he's got so many good people to back him and we're farming that right now and we're getting we're
finding our legs and i hope we'll eventually be on a journey together um in the future so yeah look
what we're basically doing is we've adjusted what nfts are so nfts what you guys would probably be
aware of is like board api clubs like pictures of static collectibles what we're offering is not
static collectibles we're going to have cover artworks of songs so let's say for example the timeless
record you guys know from davido's picture that's the timeless cover artwork we're going to transform
songs albums eps into nfts you purchase an nft that identifies that you are an owner of this
collectible on chain it'll state you are an owner to royalties and entitled to copyright of that song
so you are an entitled owner and we distribute your royalties that are generated from the song
so that can include streams merchandising itunes sales single sales album sales streams in general
advertising deals concerts events we'll facilitate any proceeds that's generated from specific songs
eps or albums back to the fans who purchase these nfts so they're not like standard static collectibles
i don't want to sorry i don't want to go over confuse people or over complicate the discussion
uh by bringing too much crypto into trying to simplify it as much as possible then i appreciate you guys
wanting to be educated on this because it's something we take very seriously and i do feel like there is
such a gap because of how corrupt the music industry is to facilitate something like this there has
never been an offering where fans can earn from their favorite artist song like that's a beautiful
thing for me as a fan of music i would just buy these collectibles just to be a part of that just to know
that i am sharing in the experience even if the song doesn't do well i want to support my boy i don't
want to just go to an hour concert where i'm paying two hundred dollars i want to be an owner and
entitled person to the copyright and royalty sharing i want to get the free perks of having
one of these collectibles so that's what we're doing obviously it's very lucrative for the artists
they get a higher split of royalties as you said it's a one-off contract it's not a fucking 360 deal
we're producing the music in-house obviously there will be people coming to us as a service
but yeah we basically just use our shared royalties to distribute to the fans we don't touch
their royalties and they get a 50 of the copyright entitlement of the revenue share the nft sale
so we not only give them the royalties of the music we also give them a cut of us selling the
copyright so if we've done 500 000 in revenue from the nft sales that artist would get 250k
into their pocket up front so that's what we're doing and we're looking to change the game we're not
stepping on streaming platform stores we're not stepping on other music label stores we're looking
to do our own thing and yeah i think i think i think we're on the cusp of big things i think it's
only being enabled through crypto we're utilizing the technology in a proper way this isn't fraudulent
i know that the perception of crypto is not really that good but we want to educate people the best we
can and i appreciate you guys giving us the opportunity to share what we're about as well
as giving us the opportunity to speak with you guys and learn from you guys and we can all grow
together and we can all benefit one another so um no i appreciate it and i love being in contact with
you guys and sarge has been keeping me up to date on everything that's been going on and
you guys have handled this so professionally i just want to say like you guys do very good work
like it's very clean everything is time to perfection and when you guys push like i never
seen that as i said my spawn was just dinging like crazy in my pocket i didn't believe it i was like
what is going on it was like i thought it was a natural disaster or something that happened i
couldn't believe it
it's like yeah it's like a chain reaction i never seen anything like it it's crazy um but yeah no like
yeah i love i love what we're doing obviously as an artist myself i see the value in it it's trying
to educate people on like what this is and trying to make it as user friendly as possible because
not all of us understand crypto it's very complex it's scary but that's the way the
media makes it feel so yeah um this is the introduction for the music industry to crypto
and we're starting a cultural movement similar to the principles of what davido has done in his
career and as i said he's an inspiration of mine you know i followed his career very early days
five years ago nobody listened to afrobeat and he he was one of the pioneers of that i know it's one
of the most popular genres of music ever everywhere everywhere not only the continent of africa are
listening to and he's got he's very proud to be nigerian very proud to be from that continent and i
think he's the most prized commodity in the whole of africa like he's he's the golden boy like he is the
golden boy and he's going to be a cultural icon for years to come he's he's on his on the way to
global recognition and superstardom and he deserves it um and that's all that's i have huge admiration
for him i have huge respect for him i can't wait to get the opportunity to keep speaking with you guys
and yeah it's just such a privilege to get to share the space with you and you guys are community
builders like us so i respect the hustle i respect the grind um i have a question and my question is
um with chucky is it how you guys we have your own app where we can stream the music like or we stream
from the same platform we'll be streaming apple spotify and all other platforms yeah so what we're
doing is like a platform our our music streaming platform is just basically it's a free streaming
platform for unknown artists that will allow them to just upload their music we're not stepping on
anyone's toes we're not in any licensing agreements we're not trying to compete with spotify because
we'll never have the same catalog as them what we're trying to do is reform what the standard is
as a music level so we want to remove 360 deals we want to remove the eight percent splitting royalties
that is absolute hardship for artists they get extorted and they're tracking these deals they don't
even own their own name um so we want to try and reform that we want to try and evolve the industry
we want to try and make it more fair for artists that are on the up as well as the artists that are
established um as well as facilitate the royalty offering now with our streaming platform as i said
we're going to revamp that we're going to have an android and ios app we're going to integrate our
marketplace and we're going to make it like an easily accessible user-friendly um experience for like
web 2 users so yeah look our marketplace is nearly developed our streaming platform now it's just a
free streaming site for unknown artists to get more recognition and we have artists sending us in
music all the time that we're just uploading it uploading to it and trying to improve our platform
to one day maybe compete with spotify but our niche right now is releasing bangers releasing good music
onboarding very good talent onboarding artists the right way and allowing them that freedom of expression
that they deserve alicia was an artist herself that signed with nearly signed with sony and she didn't
at the end of the day because they tried to change who she was they tried to tell her your music's not
good enough you can't be who you are we don't like you we want to market you this way we want to
change your brand and she didn't sign and she she didn't get that global recognition that she truly
deserved she's a beautiful girl she's a beautiful artist she's very good talent she writes all her own
music she's devoted to the game like anyone i've never seen and and from her experience she appreciates
what we do and so does ot and we back them to the hills we back our people like like you back to
veto like we are all about our artists we support them to help whatever they want to do we just want to
give them the freedom to express themselves as well as the back end as well as the platform so that's what we're all about
and obviously we're providing a first experience and service like this in music where fans can actually
earn from songs of their favorite artists so that that's basically what we do that's what we provide
as a company as a service okay i understand i understand so my other question is on this app
is this app out already and also on this app that you guys are creating will this app just be strictly
for music or right there on that app we can do the crypto nfts and some other stuff right there on the
same app yeah so like on our marketplace what we'll be doing is we'll be selling sound specific
um collectibles so let's say we were to work with let's say for example you guys are very familiar
with the video let's just say was coming out the video say can you enable can you can you take a
share of royalties and distribute it to the fans who buy these nfts we say yeah no sure thing give us
ten percent of royalties and we'll allocate that and distribute it fairly and evenly to the thousand
holders and thousand owners of these nfts so let's just say we release that song unavailable blows up
and now every percentage of proceeds that comes in and all the royalties you purchase that nft you now earn
as a parcel owner of unavailable we do other songs then let's say 50 cent candy shop we release another
song that blows up like a motherfucker people are earning from 50 cent now it's passive dividends
and passive income and residuals it's like stock trading basically so you buy into a stock someone
you believe in you believe in this song you're a big fan of his music you buy the nft and if it blows up
you're going to earn a lot of passive income from it you're going to share in the success of your
favorite artists and that's what we're enabling here on game so i'm very excited about it as i said
it's all ready our marketplace is in development right now it's nearly set to release we have
actually a partner project which will be our platform for our initial release our chuki song
we've other artists in the pipeline more music in the pipeline and i hope we one day get an
opportunity to explore the afrobeat scene so i hope this is a good introduction to you guys and i hope
you guys feel welcome and you enjoy the vibe and i don't want this to be like an interview type
i want us all to have a fucking party and have fun it's a celebration sorry one day i i tend to talk
too much man please forgive me i see you're trying to speak yeah good good morning good afternoon good
evening um so i was going to ask a question like this this particular app you guys are creating
is it is it exclusive to just davido fans and or is it for other artists and your fans to benefit also
since you're having this space with just davido and 30bg obviously
no that's a great question and although i love davido i know how big he is and i'd love i've said
it to sergeant solomon ot you guys know as so many times can you please get us in touch with davido he
said davido is a guy who appreciates hard work he's like a brother to me he loves people who
give it all they can find a situation handle adversity and make it and do anything they can
to get to where they are in life and succeed and work hard to get there and he said whenever we need
him we'll we'll talk you know that kind of way and he'll embrace us and he'll treat us like family
because that's the way he is with everybody he just he's such a warm embrace so this won't be exclusive
to people like davido this won't be exclusive to people on our label this would be anyone that
enables us an entitlement to royalties we use our share to distribute to the fans so we could have
let's say justin beavers releasing a new song he's heard that this cheeky fucking marketplace is getting
artists tons of money fans are earning hundreds and thousands or thousands of dollars hundreds of
dollars off our collectibles off the royalty sharing it's a proven commodity it's a proven service and
there's a case study there you will have artists that are coming from all over the world that want
to use this because they're getting money for their copyrights they're also getting money from the
streams they're getting a higher royalty percentage and they're not tied down to a crazy contract that
extorts the fuck out of them so that's what we facilitate and we're going to work with many artists
we're going to work in tandem with streaming platforms we're not going to be in dispute with any
companies we don't see any viable competitors that are offering this we're just taking the share from
the label pocket and giving it back to the people who deserve it the fans the people who buy the
tickets people who give the artists the revenue give the artists the recognition and clout so yeah
look i think it's it's about time someone did this
all right thank you
well thank you and that was a very good question but guys i'm so pumped i swear to god it's like
four o'clock in the morning here i haven't slept but like i don't think i'm gonna sleep for a week
after this but i'm not gonna like you
okay so i have another question and my question is you know okay everyone knows that the video is a
global superstar is the biggest afrobeat artist is even the biggest musician in the world for me
so apart from david we have other artists like all around the world like the upcoming artists
that they don't have much fan base their streams are low okay do you have like in your franchise do
you have a plan for this artist like okay he spends an upcoming artist and he wants he wants off projects
with us do you have any promotion plan for this artist and stuff like that that's my question
oh absolutely absolutely man and we're actually all for the fans like that is the whole the whole
point to this um so basically what we offered to um ot and alicia was basically we backed them we support
them they came to us with a song obviously it's the chuuky branded song um we loved her music we
wanted her to release music with us it was never in our plan to establish a record label but we wanted
to start to upload music on our streaming platform and through trial and error we realized that we're
never going to build a model similar to spotify so what can we do in-house that will be very lucrative
that can change the game change the industry so we got them a video crew a full production house
flew them out to australia got them in the studio got their song mastered and produced by some of the best
producers in australia in la we've got about five different producers working with them
um we also had like a lot of different uh hip-hop outlets feature them like world star hip-hop
hype magazine i had radios on an interview they've done a lot of different tiktok challenges we had
people dancing all over instagram and sharing in like a competition format and it blew like for an
initial release with unknown artists they got half a million streams on spotify they got 50 000
streams on youtube and we've done it on a very low budget over the bear market and we built we built
and we've gotten to a point now where we're at the negotiations with some of the top artists in
the world like some of the biggest hip-hop artists in the world and they're finally taking us serious
they're finally seeing crypto as not a fraudulent thing that there can actually be companies established
in this space and to get that recognition to get that respect from some of the industry leads like
it's very it's very overwhelming because we've been here eight or nine months and a lot of people doubted
us but we never we never cared about the people who doubt us or hate us or want to fade on us we care
about the people who support us and we're here to watch them win um and we support our artists we back them
100 we don't want to change them obviously we'll be very picky about who we work with as a label
because you don't want to release bad music we want to release good music with good artists
and allow them that opportunity to express themselves freely um yeah so i'm all about artists man i'm all
about having unknown artists blow up like for us that would be a great great thing if we could just
have one known people and make their dreams come true and make them an overnight success and yeah we will
enable that eventually but right now our core focus is onboarding prolific artists who who are very
good musicians independent artists unknown artists and yeah we just want to have a vibe man we want
to release good quality music we just we want to help change the industry for the better and that's
that's what we're here for we're not here for anything else as i said we're not here for money
this is all legacy this is all an evolution in the industry that is much needed
okay look at this can you play us precision because this is a game changer
yes okay hey there uh first of all great questions thank you so much for interacting for asking all of
these questions and jiki thank you so much for you know elaborating on it i mean like you already
you know uh specified this is going to be huge this is providing opportunities that have never been
neither in the crypto field neither in the music field so combining all of that together it just
brings a different outcome something bigger for everyone for you know aspiring artists artists that
are already in the fields but as for my position i'm actually the community manager of chuki what that
means is one of the bigger aspects of chuki is providing support for the community i mean you have to have
someone that will be providing support for the community you know engaging with them answering
all kind of questions you know uh managing uh the social platforms i mean we're currently having
a huge community on telegram that's ongoing 24 7 extremely active so is twitter it's you know we are
keeping uh keeping everyone updated on those platforms and hopefully they're going to expand to more
platforms in the near future so my role is to engage with them to maximize the results from the community
to bring in more supporters more holders you know see what the community wants i mean when we talked
about artists so many wanted afrobeat artists so many wanted hip-hop artists and we've managed to bring
both of these uh you know hip-hop genres to chuki so this is my role basically i want to maximize all these
results because obviously communities everything the people that join the people that support us
is everything this is what makes the difference eventually think of any big artist that you

Davido, thank you so much for joining us on these spaces.
Welcome aboard.
Can you hear me, can you hear me?
Yes, hello there.
Yes, we can hear you perfectly fine.
How are you, Davido?
Thank you so much.
I'm good.
Oh, my holy fuck.
Davido in the fucking house.
Oh, my God.
I'm such a huge fan.
I'm such a fucking huge fan.
You're such an inspiration to me, man.
Thank you so much for being here.
God bless you, man.
Shout out to, you know, shout out to my fans.
Shout out to Chukie.
Shout out to everybody online.
You know what I'm saying?
We're just excited.
You know what I'm saying?
The album is out.
We drop a new video, I think today or tomorrow.
We drop a new video tomorrow.
And it's just been blessed, man.
We shut down Australia two days ago.
So we're just really excited and just happy.
You know?
Brody, you are riding the wave, man.
If you've seen an artist express themselves like you, man, your smile is one of the most
contagious things I've ever seen.
You in a video, vibing with your music, that is beautiful, man.
That is artwork, that is creativeness, and it's freedom of expression.
And nobody does it better than you, my guy.
Nobody does it better.
Where you from?
Where you from?
I'm Irish, brother.
I'm Irish.
Oh, no.
We're coming to Ireland soon.
I think next day.
Brother, I'm in Vancouver right now, but I would fly to Ireland just to see you, bro.
Like, I'm fucking such a diehard fan.
Sergeant said you were in his home street.
He said you blew the roof off the place at the venue.
He said the ticket sales, the whole town was quiet, and the veto announced then, and everything
fucking erupted.
No, it was crazy, man.
We had, like, 35,000 people out there.
It was so amazing, man.
Like, it's been so much love since we landed.
It's been just love, love, love, love, man.
It's just amazing.
So, I'm planning to come back.
I'm definitely planning to come back next year and do, like, a five-city arena tour.
So, it's going to be mad.
It's going to be mad.
We have a lot of things coming.
Oh, man, I believe you're just getting started.
Sergeant put you on our radar in 2021, man.
And, like, we've seen how much your country adores you, the backing of a continent.
But, no, it's on a global scale, man.
And you deserve the recognition.
You're a pioneer of Afrobeat.
Like, in my regard, you are the most consistent Afrobeat artist in the world.
In the next three years, Afrobeat is going to be probably the most popular genre of music
in the charts.
And you're making it happen, bro.
You are the one leading the charts.
I mean, to me, sorry, I'm going to say rice and stew, very sweet rice and stew like this.
Sorry.
But, like, to me, it's more than just being successful to me.
Because when you enjoy what you're doing, when you enjoy making music, I enjoy making music.
It's more than sitting down or recording.
It's more than a job.
I enjoy, I actually enjoy this.
I have fun making music.
So, it will never be a case of, I don't have music to put out.
I'm telling you, like I said, we picked, out of 80-something songs, that's how we picked Timeless album.
So, before that, we picked 17, I think 16 or 17 songs, out of 80-something songs.
The other day, I was in the car and I was playing the songs we didn't pick from the album.
I was just laughing.
I said, what?
I was just laughing, laughing, because I pity them.
We never start.
We never start to, I'm telling you, facts.
So, I'm just happy that, you know, first of all, we have our mojo back, straight up.
We got the mojo back.
Ain't nobody going to take their shit from us.
You know what I'm saying?
So, apart from me, even the fans, everybody feels good, down to management, down to friends, down to the people that worked on this project.
You know what I'm saying?
So, apart from, you know, lifting up Afro Bits, I actually enjoy this job.
You know, and I feel like that's one of the most important things.
You know, when you enjoy what you're doing, nobody can stop you.
Nobody.
You love your craft, brother.
I love this guy, no worries.
I love music.
I love African music.
I, like, trust me, there's nothing that's going to stop me, you know?
I've never seen a happier man.
I swear, I love watching your Instagram posts, because they inspire me to be better.
They motivate me to be better.
And just enjoy life.
Be who you are.
Fuck what everybody else thinks.
Fuck what everybody else thinks.
Be who you are.
Be true to yourself.
Eventually, you'll find your way.
Just work hard.
Be consistent.
And you're a living proof of, like, what can be achieved if you just have the right people
around you, and you love what you're fucking doing.
And Timeless is a very good example of that.
From the good time to the better time, there was a lot of, like, feature artists and stuff
like that.
But I really found after you, like, featured with Khaled and had that song released, people
got a taste of what Afrobeat is in pop.
And then on Timeless, that is such a perfect fusion.
Like, Feel is a banger.
Kante is a fucking banger.
Unavailable is a fucking banger, man.
Even making the album.
And it was so funny, because I actually knew every song that was going to blow.
I knew it.
Like, even recording the album.
I knew, I knew Unavailable was going to go first.
I knew Feel was going to go after a new Kante.
And to all the fans that are always, you guys are always riling up, shouting, complaining.
You guys don't know what we do behind the scenes to make sure, do you understand, we
give quality.
It's not about quantity.
It's quality.
Do you think I don't get money to shoot 100 videos?
I feel like I shoot 5,000 videos when I want.
I feel like I drop in one week.
5,000.
We'll have to give quality videos.
Unavailable is like 60-something million.
You think I don't want to do double that with Feel?
Or triple it with Kante?
But I'm not going to drop rubbish.
Never.
When a time that, when a time and place where I want people to listen to the music, forget
video.
Listen to the music.
Video come.
Listen to the bedroom.
Do you understand?
So now, when we start dropping videos and, you know what I'm saying, then you understand.
When you watch the video tomorrow, then you understand.
Feel video.
We took, we saw that video for six days.
I spent over 100 million Naira on that video.
And that is before Naira spoil.
Before Naira spoil, look.
So imagine saying, nah, nah, shoot, I'm not.
Nah, 150.
You feel me?
So, don't be a joke.
No, for sure.
And I swear to God, that Feel video, man.
It's like a cinematic masterpiece.
Like, you can just see, like, how the story's going to play out.
And I can't wait for that full release.
I think that's going to cause so many fucking waves, man.
It's like an introduction to the Nigerian culture.
To what life is like in the continent of Africa.
And it's a beautiful setting, man.
It's like, it's a very unique setting.
And I can tell you take pride in your craft.
And that's more than 98% of artists nowadays.
You actually enjoy what you do.
You believe in your music.
No, continue.
I'm eating.
Continue.
No, sorry, David.
Sorry, bro.
I have a tendency to talk too much.
Anybody that's been listening to the spaces,
they just want me to shut up and take a breath.
I talk too fast.
I think we should let some of the fans speak.
So, I don't know.
Maybe we should leave some fans to speak up.
And let's see what they got to say.
100%.
100%.
Let's give one day.
One day they wish I.
Or give a Tumba.
I know one day they could wish I.
Give a Tumba.
Let's say a Tumba.
I just invited you up as co-host, Whitney,
if you can give us a hand, bringing up some speakers.
How do I invite you as co-host?
Okay, then I can pick.
The boss man is on the co-host.
Let's go.
How do I invite people to speak?
Let me handle it.
So, let's actually go with Mufasa of 30BG.
He's got a request.
Feel free to speak, brother.
And, Chucky, we have somebody who is, like, on number three streaming DeVito's music.
So, I think he deserves a spot on the speaker section.
I'm going to get him.
But I'll let DeVito go with who he's speaking now.
Oh, I think he's up already.
Yep.
That's him.
DeVito, I was paying respect to the team we've got here, man.
I've never seen a crew push something like that in my life.
When they've done a tweet, I felt my phone vibrate and, like, there was an earthquake going off.
I was like, what in the fuck is going on?
And I didn't realize that the DeVito crew turns up.
How do they talk to you?
How do they talk to you?
Mufasa, I'll talk now.
Good afternoon, everyone.
Good afternoon, DeVito.
Wow.
It's a pleasure, Vito.
I just want to thank you for giving us timeless and blessing us with amazing music.
Over the years, I've been a fan.
And I think this is actually the first time I've spoken to you directly.
So, it's a pleasure.
Thank you, sir.
No, I thank you guys.
You know what I'm saying?
I see you guys on Twitter every time, you know, supporting.
Sometimes you guys are naughty, but it's fine.
But, you know, I thank you guys.
You know, the support is amazing.
You know, trust me, you guys don't know the ginger that you give me personally.
When I'm, you know, not only making music, but performing.
I'm just going by my day-to-day, you know, life.
You know.
And yeah, you know what I'm saying?
Trust me, this is going to be an amazing partnership with not only Choki, with you guys and myself.
And I wanted to tap in, you know, before tomorrow.
Because from tomorrow like this, I'm a...
From tomorrow like this, baba, nawa, nawa, nala.
And I'm going to, in fact, I'm going to just go find Bucket like this.
Nawa, nala.
You know.
So, I really just wanted to, you know, tap in, you know, with you guys.
And, you know, Philips.
Phil me.
Oh, DeVito, bro.
We know, we know.
And Solomon has given us, he said, this guy, he loves his fucking fans more than he loves
the position he's in in his career.
What we enable is a royalty sharing for your fans to be able to earn from your music.
Can you imagine if we had a selection for unavailable or if we had a selection now for
the field and a thousand of your fans bought that and the song went fucking ballistic.
Can you imagine how much money they'd earn from your royalties and that distribution to
your fans?
That's something we're facilitating.
That's crypto and what it's supposed to be.
That's decentralization.
And Nigeria is one of the most progressive countries for crypto adoption.
So, I know you understand the potential there.
Of course.
Of course.
Like, everybody knows I'm all about even giving.
I'm all about even giving.
So, you know, if that's an opportunity that Choki is going to give me, you know, definitely
if he wants to, you know, spread the love because they're really, really involved.
Not only, like I said, they're really, really involved not only in the creative process,
but just in my day-to-day life.
So, you know, it'll be something that, you know, we want to eventually indulge in and
Definitely.
The Vito, man.
We have, right?
And I'm sure Solomon has told you.
They've done a fantastic job on that record, man.
I love them to bits.
I love Alicia.
I love what she stands for.
I want to allow artists to have that creative freedom of expression.
To enjoy what they do.
To produce music.
Not only make money, but be who they are.
Be original.
Have their voice heard.
And we work with them.
We back them to Hilt.
They released Choki for us.
It's done more numbers than we could have ever imagined as an unrecognized label.
And now we've gotten that opportunity to work with some of the hip-hop artists in the
world.
And we have expectations of how their NFTs will do.
But I heard you say to Solomon that you would break fucking records.
Sign my fans.
You will break records, bro.
You do talk.
Sign my fans.
Give my fans money.
Talk, talk, talk.
Give my fans money.
There are talented people there that you are talking to.
Press money.
Press money.
Press money.
We're all here for the fans, brother.
Like, we want to have that experience.
We're there.
Give my back.
It's your success.
Pampi.
I do Opie.
Everything that you do.
Oh, yeah, now.
So, one love, everybody.
I love you guys.
It was nice speaking to you.
You know what I'm saying?
Tomorrow, we go live.
We're definitely going to break a record tomorrow.
Definitely.
We're definitely going to break a record.
Like, we do every time we drop.
You know what I'm saying?
So, we're definitely going to break a record tomorrow.
I love everybody.
Shout out to Chucky.
Shout out to Afrobeats.
Shout out to all my fans.
30BG, all the sports over here.
And, yeah.
And, I'll see you guys tomorrow.
One love.
Hope you.
Badass.
Yes.
Thank you so much, Devin.
Badass.
Badass.
Thank you for joining.
Fucking hell.
What an experience.
What a guy, man.
What a guy.
Oh, my God.
That was amazing.
I can't believe that, man.
I have goosebumps.
I'm rattled.
It's 5 a.m. in the morning.
I don't even care.
I love you, DeVito.
DeVito's the f***.
Oh, I can't believe it, man.
I'm after meeting one of my icons.
One of my f***ing heroes, man.
This is what this game is about, man.
It's giving back to the fans.
Giving back to everybody that's in the community.
Everybody that f***ing loves music.
Throw up some reactions.
Let's f***ing go.
Thank you so much, Whitney.
One day.
Thank you, Sergeant.
Thank you, y'all.
Amazing.
I'll be on the phone.
Calling you tonight.
I won't make you.
Make me notified.
I don't want to sleep alone.
When I hold you back.
Without full my eyes.
But I'll be here.
Logan, I think.
Damn.
Space has rugged you.
Unfortunately.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Guys, that was an amazing Space.
We'll keep it open for a few questions.
If you want to jump up and ask us some questions.
Hey, bro.
It's going to be crazy.
We'll keep it open for a few questions.
So, we'll f***ing enjoy it, bro.
I've been talking to myself.
And I don't even notice.
She got me feeling like a zombie.
I should wish you'd like your glory.
She was too tiny, though.
You got me falling through it.
I just touched down.
When I see you now.
I've been on the phone.
So, Tuki, Logan, as the video have said, few videos will be dropping tomorrow.
30PG, you know how we do it.
Farmers, back to fam.
Farmers, back to fam.
Tuki, press money.
Oh, I said, Tuki, press money.
It means send my fans money.
I'm getting it wrong.
Let them influence the brand.
Let's release some f***ing bangers.
Let's give the fans what they f***ing want.
Let's give them a share in the success of their favourite f***ing artists.
Let's do it, brother.
Let's change the f***ing game together.
Feel tomorrow, guys, is going to be one of the most electrifying music video drops this f***ing decade.
I'm telling you guys, watch out for that.
This is going to win a Grammy Award.
Everybody thought unavailable was big.
Wait until this train starts chugging.
This guy is on a different f***ing level.
He's operating at a different frequency to every single one of us.
Just let him enjoy himself.
Let him do his f***ing thing.
He's about to take over the world.
Let's f***ing go, baby.
Excellent, man.
I love the environment here.
I love the passion you guys have and the energy in.
We have a lot of the same sort of learning.
Let's go, baby.
Woo!
All of the blessings with this come my way.
Let's go, baby.
I love it.
I love it.
Run!
Hey, the magic I do, I make you no-go-de-less.
The way you do by the improv, I say you want to call it.
You know I can't be calling.
And let your body fire out.
We feel like my style.
Call on my man, then make them fall out.
Tonight I want to call out.
That do is important.
That do is important.
You don't see we are just in border.
The magic we get you now.
All of my guys are baller.
Nobody call my corner.
They can't tell me not.
They can't match my neck.
Falling an arm at the mat.
Crows in an arm at the mat.
All of the blessings with this come my way.
We give 10 questions, let's say.
We'll give rewards.
We'll give out $500 on this space to the loyal fans who turned out to appreciate the veto.
Chuky, press money for 30BG.
Nah, look, we gotta do it.
That is the, that is the, that is the, that is the, that is the, that is the way we will have you.
Just said, just said 5%.
Chuky, Chuky, Chuky, Chuky, Chuky, let me tell you something.
We all know the veto is the greatest, greatest artist in the world.
But whoever is the person that advised you that if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, like, introduce your, your business, what you do to African music, to African culture, to Afrobeat, and all types of African music channel that you meet up with David, you need to give that person two chicken and two bottles of Mattel.
Because, check all the brands that David has partnered with, from Puma to Mattel, every brand has sold out.
Even if you are selling these kits, if this guy advertises it from you, for he's going from a zero to a billion.
Whatever he talks to his tongue, you have done, right?
Brother, brother, brother, I already know this.
Yes, whatever he talks to his tongue, not gold or diamond.
You don't have to convince me, I'm a believer.
Press money for 30BG.
I'm a believer.
I'm a believer.
I fucking, this guy is a icon.
He's the pioneer of Afrobeat.
I fucking respect the shit out of him, man.
Rema, Fernaboy, I hate to disrespect them, but they ain't got shit on the V-Dog.
I'm sorry about that.
He evokes emotion unlike anything I've ever heard.
His music is groovy.
He's very passionate about his, a relationship with his fans, and he adores every single one of you.
He didn't even want to talk to me.
He said, guys, let me talk to the fucking fans.
I'm here to talk to the fucking fans.
I respect that.
I respect that.
I would love in the future to work with an artist like DeVito, because he expresses himself the way that I like artists expressing himself.
He's a true stoic of what he is as a person, and he expresses that true song.
And in his music videos, he has a massive smile on his face, because he's truly happy with the people he associates with, the people in his entourage, the people in his crew.
And I get now why he's so happy, why he's so successful.
He's got a community like you, backroom staff like you, helping him lead the charge.
It's not just a one-man army.
People can't understand how much work goes into this behind the scenes.
And from what I've heard, DeVito's music video is going to cause some waves.
And that's not the only thing that's coming in the pipeline.
So, David, everybody might think this is the biggest of his career.
I fully believe that DeVito is going to be one of the biggest artists, if not the biggest artists, within the next three to five years, as Afrobeat is on that trajectory, and rightfully so.
It's very good music.
Yeah, he's got a story to be told, and I dig it.
I fucking love it.
Eric, sorry, brother, for cutting you off.
If you want to chime in, I've seen you unmuted your mic.
I didn't even realize my speaker was on.
He's generous.
Oh, good, brother.
No, I just came up here to say, you know, respect.
Respect to you for just putting the work in and delivering and, you know, doing what very few people in this space do.
Yeah, much love, much respect.
Chucky Presmoni.
Yo, uva, uva.
Let's go.
I'll be on the phone calling you tonight.
That is it.
I will play, play, play, play unwa baby for all that easy.
Let's go, baby.
Before I play unwa baby, before Badass come off of this space, before Badass left the space, he said, Chucky press money.
So I will now play a song that correlates with what Badass said.
Oh, no, Coco.
Money is important.
He has the best crew in the game, guys.
Let's fucking go.
I love it.
So that's what I'll be playing.
This Nigerian network is so messy at the moment.
So you guys need to endure a little bit.
It's Jake'sabo production.
Jake'sabo.
so what he's saying in this song in this track is that money is so important like this introduction
this innovation that you just brought is like you putting food on every artist's table because
we all know it's not easy in this industry we all know it's not easy in this industry because a lot
of things are going on but with this platform i think we are handing over the future of every
artist today we are letting them control their own future and their own catalog which is a very very
good one we appreciate that i also helping the artists by encouraging them to stream other
because i believe top streamers need to get top money from the artist uh i don't know what you
call it proceeds so thank you for this innovation we appreciate we appreciate we appreciate
everything is not in the space anymore
i appreciate that brother and we're going to keep doing our thing we're going to keep building from
the ground up brick by brick piece by piece we're just going to keep slugging away bro we have a long
journey ahead of us with a lot of artists that we have to onboard a lot of music that we have to
release we need to find our feet in this industry and it's a dog eat dog world it's not easy to make
it but when you surround yourself with good people you can make shit happen and we have
surrounded ourselves with the best of people and i appreciate this endorsement from you guys and i
appreciate the embrace that you've given to our community as well as the acknowledgement for what
we're doing so yeah look i think it's about time that fucking fans earn from their favorite artist
songs i think it's there's enough food on the table in the industry that everybody should be able to
eat not just the music labels not just the streaming platforms not just the artists the artists
don't even get the largest percentage of this of all this whereas we're facilitating a service that
will allow the fans to obviously earn from um their favorite artists so i appreciate that man and i
understand you guys love your fan base you love everybody that follows the veto you all follow him
so passionately that this is all about legacy and that's exactly what we're about we're not about
lining our own pockets we're about putting pockets in the people who deserve his pockets
we're about putting money in their pockets can you imagine being an owner of one of these collectibles
that is a hit fucking song and you are sitting there earning hundreds of dollars thousands of
dollars a month just off the success of that song and you back that artist when no one else did so
that's a beautiful thing and um i'm glad you guys appreciate it and i hope someday we can collaborate
i know david davido is a very busy guy and you guys have a huge schedule but someday i'm up in our
practice with a line i've already said it to salomon plenty of times because i'm a huge fan and
obviously davido is one of the biggest artists in the world right now so yeah no it's been a pleasure
guys and i i really appreciate the opportunity and how professional your team has handled things and
it's been an amazing experience throughout so you guys deserve to be where you are today and i think
you're only going to keep going off um and rightfully so rightfully so has anybody else got a
question i suppose i do so i got a question bro let's go i got a question what's cookie
i got a question bro what's what's actually what was cooking because apparently davido was eating good
man he was eating good man so what a beautiful day man awesome awesome attendance on
on this space uh actually on my fucking birthday man so uh really really enjoying this this moment
um and a bigger day tomorrow bro huge day tomorrow like i said we should we should rename tuesday
to tuesday bro tuesdays tomorrow is tuesday
let's go let's go bro bro bro like yeah field comes out tomorrow guys that's going to be a huge
drop for davido everybody in this community everybody in the spaces make sure you keep an
eager eye on what's about the drop from davido's crew from davido's team it's going to be huge it's
going to be an emblem it's going to be an iconic video that's going to be streamed all over the world
globally yeah afrobeats here the king of afrobeats just joined us for spaces um yeah i i'm i'm
absolutely blown away by the support i can't believe my stars i'm literally pinching myself
not because i'm so sleep deprived at fucking 20 20 to 5 in the morning but the fact that i just met
one of my heroes and got the opportunity to speak with him that's what this is all about and that's
what we're all about we want to give that experience that artists can feel closer and we're all about
the community we're all about embracing one another supporting one another and backing
everybody that you know they're good juju you know they're kind of like you back good people to the
help um you work hard and you'll accomplish great things in your life so yeah we're true believers in
that we stuck at this like a legitimate company and we've built to where we are today and i'm glad
that a lot of the very well-known artists in the industry know are finally paying respects to what
crypto is and yeah they see the value in this and we're doing something different we're trying to
obviously tackle a huge industry we're trying to fix the fraudulent system and yeah look a lot of
people don't want that to happen but we're a different fucking movement we're a different beast
this is crypto this is decentralization our offering is giving the fans that percentage that
the label feels entitled to when all they do is give an artist a platform to be heard they don't do
much else they give you a studio and they give you the connections to be plugged in and get your
music card but they don't actually benefit artists they want to extort you and they just see you as
a money printing machine that's not fair and that's why the life has gone out of music and that's why
i respect the veto because there's a lot of that's being regurgitated there's a lot of artists that
don't write their own music and he feels every song that he writes and you can tell there's a lot of

Daddy Don Z, you have your hand up, brother.
Feel free to speak.
Feel free to give feedback.
Feel free to ask a question.
Sorry we didn't get you sooner.
I apologize.
It's been hectic.
I've been a little bit overwhelmed here on the stage.
I can't believe my head's about to explode.
Daddy, what's up, man?
I can't believe I'm calling another man, Daddy.
But look, this is the day and age range.
What's up, my girl?
Clear your mind.
Says Papi.
Clear your mind.
Says Papi, man.
My name is Papi Don.
I'm tuning in from Zimbabwe in the south of Africa.
Lovely space you have here.
I was here and David was here.
He's a huge staple in my country.
Put on a couple of artists from my country.
Some of them are now producers for Chris Brown and Sierra.
That's how we roll song is produced by a producer for my country.
And he produced De Vido and Paturankin's single.
So much love to Nigeria for opening up the space to this Afro Beast thing.
Choki, I'm also an artist from Zimbabwe.
I just posted my song in the comments of this space.
Go check it out.
It's called Mimosa.
And I just wanted to find out how are you guys, you know, remaping this industry, man,
for artists to eat?
Because it's useless to have 100,000 streams on Spotify and you've got $88 in your account, man.
That's robbery.
Daylight robbery.
So what are you guys doing for artists, you know, to benefit from their streams and stuff?
Because we're tired of putting up music and not eating, man.
Brother.
Brother.
We are here to save the fucking day.
My guy.
Hey, I managed to put your music in the Jumbotron.
Guys, please go smash the fuck out of that.
Show these guys some love.
Appreciate your brother coming on to speak on the space.
And obviously, you're a guy who knows the industry.
So let me try and break it down without, like, overcomplicating what the crypto elements are.
So instead of a label, basically, we operate as a label.
We give you the platform to showcase your skills.
We use our connections to get you unplugged in on radio, add it to organic Spotify playlists, add it to Billboard charts, add it to TikTok playlists.
It's basically anything you need to enhance the algorithm to have your song heard.
Because it's not just a matter of an overnight success.
It's not a trending song anymore.
There's a big process involved.
You have to do the basics, right?
You have to do world star hip-hop.
You have to promote a song.
You have to shove a song.
You have to get good quality producers in.
It's a very expensive and tedious process.
So we basically facilitate that.
We allow you guys to create music with us.
And we provide an offering where we split the royalties.
So we give you a 50% entitlement, which is different to the label standard.
A label standard is under 8% back to artists and 92% goes to the label.
What we do is we allow artists to have a 50% entitlement to their royalties.
So you're not tied down to a 360 deal with us.
We'll do a one-off piece.
We'll push it.
We'll get the film crew in.
We'll have everything up to the standard that it needs to be pushed and marketed.
And then we have a 50% split in the royalties.
So you're generating from the streams 50%.
You're generating from the merchandise sales, concert ticket sales, any events or venues we set you up in,
we get you plugged up in, get the tickets sold.
You're going to share in that.
You get a 50% entitlement.
We'll also offer NFTs.
So we have a 50-50 split.
From our 50-50 split, we have 30%, which is allocated to different parts of our ecosystem.
And I don't want to bore you with the crypto side of things.
But basically, we take 10% of our offering and we redistribute that to people who purchase these NFTs.
So you have a song, let's say, you release it.
It's called Mimosa is your song right now.
So Daddy, Mimosa song featuring Chukie or featuring Alicia and O.T.
They're artists that are associated with us.
We'll put our trademark on your song like We Good, We Chukie or Chukie Choo or something like that where you can hear it in a song.
It doesn't have to be a direct crypto song.
It just has to have our advertising in there for mass awareness and exposure for us.
So we give you the 50% entitlement.
And then from our share, we offer an NFT selection for, let's say, the Mimosa song by Daddy Don.
That 10% that we have as our royalty entitlement, we now distribute it to the people who bought your NFTs.
So there's a thousandth in that selection.
We would sell them for, let's say, for relatively unknown artists between $100 and $300.
For known artists, we would do $500 because there's more guarantee of a success of streams, which means more royalties and more passive earning that comes back to the fan who buys the collectible.
So basically, we offer the artist 50% entitlement to royalties, as well as this upfront payment from the copyrights that we sell to the fans to enable them to earn in the passive income of the song.
So that's what we do.
So we give you royalties, we give you marketing, we give you high quality production studios, we give you the best of equipment to record your songs and market it correctly.
And then we just enable a service where you can sell the royalties of your success and the royalties of your streams back to your fans through NFT technology.
That's basically what we do.
All right.
Thanks, brother.
I'll tap in the DM and we can connect more about that.
And I just want to get my Niger on right now.
I'm happy that this few videos are coming out.
I know you love Unavailable, but Few is a song after my own art now.
I was about to come to Lagos and cause noise if this video don't come out now.
Thank you very much, 30BG and David Worldwide.
Let's fucking go.
Uber.
I love it.
I love it.
Field draft tomorrow, baby.
Everybody's hyped.
Everybody's excited about it.
Rightfully so.
It looks like a cinematic masterpiece.
It literally looks like a Marvel movie.
I want to know you.
I looked at it and I was like, is this the opening credits for a Marvel movie?
I was like, yeah, it was crazy.
I'm really looking forward to that drop.
I'm highly anticipating it.
Daddy, thank you so much for coming up and speaking.
And feel free to hit me up in DMs.
As I said, we push artists all the time.
And we like to associate with creators.
We want to be with people that have original taste, have talent.
And obviously, we'll give them the platform they deserve.
Famous tipster.
I really hope that this isn't like a fucking subscription account or something like that.
Like a betting tips thing.
Use my affiliate link to sign up for...
No, I'm not joking.
Famous tipster.
What's up, brother?
No, he didn't want to speak.
Who's next?
Shima Jerry.
Feel free to come up and speak, brother.
Can you guys hear him or...
I can't see anyone, no.
Yeah, I think the space is having a bit of trouble trying to get people up to speak.
Yeah, I don't know what's going on there.
There's so many cool colours in the audience.
Guys, you represent.
I love all these PFPs.
I love how creative everybody in this space is.
Like, it's so colourful.
See this army and this collective of people that support and back.
There, boy, it's a beautiful thing.
You guys turn up for everything that he does.
You show up.
You guys grind.
You put in that hustle.
I respect that.
I respect that.
And that's what a community needs.
That's what a fan base needs.
And that's what a big artist needs.
Without you guys, he wouldn't be able to express himself the way he does.
We wouldn't get the opportunity to listen to his music.
So, for the supporters that are here, for DeVito, we appreciate you guys sticking around.
And we will try and give you an opportunity to speak.
And we can try and educate you on what we're doing and why it can be beneficial to you guys.
Not like any other crypto project you've ever seen, to be honest.
And if you guys are fans of music, you're fans of good music, you're in the right place.
If you want to earn money from hit songs, guys, you're definitely in the right place.
Earlier, I heard you talking about paying for the production of videos, etc.
So, are you also doing that for artists?
Yeah.
I guess my understanding of this was that you were tokenizing the art.
But what else are you doing for artists?
Yeah, for sure.
So, what we essentially do is, as an example, we have a song called Chukie right now by Alicia and OT.
That has like 500,000 streams and whatever it's done.
It's all like a reference point on our website.
So, basically what we do is we give these artists access to our network.
So, we get them the plugins that they get on outlets where they get more streams, they get more awareness.
It's like Worldstar and stuff like that.
They're not easy to get on.
You need the right connections to facilitate that.
MTD Bass, we had them on.
As I said, we've done a lot of marketing around the song and we pushed it hard.
They were two relatively unknown artists and their kind of following went like a little bit up.
But the thing is, we're operating as a record label.
If you understand how record labels generate money, it's through streams, obviously touring, merchandising, albums and single sales.
Mostly in the digital age, it's all streaming.
So, artists nowadays in labels, they get 8%.
They're in 360 deals and they're extorted, basically.
The top record labels in the world are Universal, which generates nearly $5 billion net profit every year.
Paramount does $2.8 billion and so on and so forth.
They all have subsidiary companies all across Europe, all in different demographics.
And they're making hundreds of millions of dollars off it.
So, that's basically what they do is they'll skin up anybody.
They'll turn them into an overnight success.
They'll rebrand them and basically write their music and release their music.
And then they just use you as like a cash cow, basically.
In front to their brand, basically.
They write all the music.
They start you.
They take all your talent and they just, yeah.
They auto-tune you and make you sound like they want you to sound.
So, there's no real expression, there's no real creativeness left in the industry, unfortunately.
There are some artists, like, as I said, DeVito, I respect him so much because he expresses himself.
He's a creative person.
So, basically what we do is we give these artists the opportunity to collaborate with bigger artists in our network.
So, that's like well-known names.
So, our first, let's say this Chukie song, it's done the waves, it's done the roams.
But to really make a splash in the industry, you need like a big name on it, basically.
And then the recognition will come, they'll start developing their own organic fan base, and then it'll spread like wildfire, basically.
So, we are basically facilitating that opportunity for these artists to be able to collaborate with these bigger names, these, like, hip-hop OGs.
Our first artist that we're collaborating with on the Chukie song, his top-rated song right now has, like, 500 million streams on Spotify.
His Timeless Records, Platinum Records, he's very well-established.
He's on tour right now with 50 Cent and the Baby, and he's got a huge song coming out very soon.
So, we're going to, obviously, we have a contract with him where we're obligated to do one song.
There's not a 360 deal.
You're not tied to mandatory obligation of, like, an album before the settlement of your deal or before the void of your contract, before you fulfill your obligation.
So, we give a 50-50% split, where that artist is getting 50%.
And from our distribution, then, what we offer is a buy-back-and-burn to our chart from 10% of the revenue that's yielded.
That's a buy-back-and-burn to choose.
So, all the proceeds to the song.
So, let's say, if it done 10 million streams, had 10,000 single downloads on iTunes, sold 1,000 merch collectibles, and had an event hosted by us where we generated $200,000.
That would yield each member of that collectible who owns that, the 1,000 selection.
You would get between $150,000 to $200,000 within the first two, three weeks of the song release, on those statistics and those projections.
So, basically, how it works is, we take our royalty split of 10% of the 50% that we're entitled to from our contract, of the proceeds that are generated from this track.
We use that 10% split that is normally going back to the artist, and we redistribute it to the people who purchased the NFT.
So, that would be a chuky, collectible NFT.
That would be the cover artwork of our song, and then it would be tokenized so that you can royalty share from it.
So, we identify the IP, and we use it to send royalties or have it claimable so that we can track how long they've been holding and how much royalties they'd be entitled to over the length that they've held it.
And then we'd have that accessible on our dashboard.
So, we're facilitating that service as, like, a pioneer in the industry.
So, not only are we allowing artists a higher percentage of entitlement to royalties, we're also allowing them an opportunity that they can sell their copyrights and allow their fans to earn in their success.
So, from that NFT selection, we also offer 50% of the proceeds that are generated.
Although it's our copyright entitlement that we're distributing to the fans, we give them 50% for allowing us to facilitate that service.
So, they get, let's say, if we've done a selection of 1,000 NFTs, sold them off for $500,000 a pop, generated $500,000 in proceeds, the artists would get $250,000.
That's it.
That's a much more bigger revenue stream.
And if it was a song, let's say, that DeVito released, and it was a $500,000,000 song, and it streamed like crazy, and it was a hit song, and it had all these advertising deals, anyone who owned that collectible would earn thousands and thousands of dollars just from the royalties of that song.
So, that's kind of how it works.
Most definitely, most definitely, and I appreciate you going into all of those other details, but more specifically, just if my question was, outside of the collectibles and how the business model works, just what other support you're providing for artists?
I know you said, you know, connections and getting them plugged into different things, world star hip-hop, et cetera.
But are you also, like, sponsoring events for these artists?
Are you paying to produce merchandise and what have you?
That was more my question.
Oh, yeah, sorry for that, Eric.
Yeah, no, for sure.
Like, as I said, the awareness comes through our marketing connections, and obviously, we have these tested resources that are, like, reliable, and we're getting them at a cost price because we've been using them effectively.
We also have networks of people that manage events, manage venues in Australia, the UK, the US.
So, we'll organize venues for these guys to go play at concerts, and then ticket sales, that'll generate revenue.
Merchandise will have a platform where we actually sell T-shirts, copy mugs, signed cover artworks, signed collectibles.
And the thing is, what we're offering to the guys who buy these NFTs, not only will it be a royalty share, but everything else that's associated with the song.
The merchandise we release, the concert tickets associated with that artist that we collaborate with, you'll get them free, basically, as a credit that you can claim on our marketplace.
But, yeah, look, we'll set up all these things.
Like, we operate as a label.
We get these guys the venues to play, to sell their tickets.
We get them uploaded, distributed through TuneCore.
We get them plugged in, marketed correctly, and up their streams, up their awareness.
We'll get to a point, as a label, where we can pick up anybody off the street, and just because we're associated with them, they will do massive earning.
They will do massive numbers.
So, we want to establish that base.
So, that's why we have to do the grassroots approach right now of onboarding the biggest names we can and making good proof of reference with good songs and good artwork.
So, sorry, I don't know.
No, absolutely.
Absolutely.
Thank you for that answer.
Now, I know it's going to vary depending on the artist and what exactly it is that they're trying to do, et cetera.
But, on average, and I don't know if this is your background or how much experience you have in this, but what would you say is the cost associated with onboarding an artist and doing some of those things that you just talked about with them?
Like, you know, getting them a venue, you know, yeah, et cetera.
Yeah, for sure.
Like, the way we see it is, and if you do the projections correctly, and like, we understand the industry.
I'm an artist myself, bro.
Like, I was in and around the circuit.
I was on talent shows, on reality TV shows.
I got to, like, live stages and both rounds of different fucking TV shows.
I understand then, like, how corrupt the industry is.
Like, as an average Joe, so I can't spend $1,000 to go and record in a studio.
I can't spend fucking $40,000 to get it produced properly, music production, get it plugged into all these different outlets.
So it's impossible to literally release a song on YouTube and expect it's going to blow up, even if it's the best song in the world.
If you don't market it correctly or you don't have it produced properly or you don't have the right filling crew, it's not going to go anywhere.
It's just, it's not going to go anywhere.
There's so much that goes on to the production of these songs and these hit records that we don't even realize.
Like, we think, as just normal listeners, this guy's just gone into a studio, trunned this down on a beat and released it.
Like, it's not like that.
There's teams that are working on these things.
There's people giving different feedback.
You're chopping and changing things all the time, running in and out of the studio.
So it's a very grueling process.
It's a very expensive and tedious process.
So our basically goal and mission right now is to onboard artists that have experience in the industry that are on the cusp of making it.
Like Alicia, she had a Sony deal where it went sour because they wanted her to change basically who she was.
They wanted to suppress her and not allow her to release the music and wanted to change what she looked like.
Same with OT.
They told them, like, Afrobeats not going to be a big thing.
And we kind of found them at the perfect time because they were not really releasing music.
They were kind of dumb with the industry.
But they just wanted an opportunity to work with people that they could have that right to express themselves freely and be creative and be who they are.
So, yeah, we basically said, like, yeah, let's see what you got.
Give us a song about Chukie.
They came back.
It was a banger.
It wasn't really a crypto centric song.
And from there, we kind of branched out and said, you know what we could actually do?
We can facilitate on-chain through these NFT ideas and through our label and through the proceeds we can generate as a revenue share.
And we can offer that back to people.
And I don't think there's any competitor in the music industry that's doing that, facilitating a service where fans can earn from their favorite artists' success.
So, yeah, it's very tedious, man.
Like, I'm not going to lie.
It's a very expensive industry.
So, what is the cost, not to cut you off, that was my question, is what is the cost associated with doing that for an artist on average?
If there's some random artist off the street or someone, you know, that maybe has had the success of, I believe you said her name was Alicia, and they're wanting to, I mean, you bring them on board.
What is the cost associated with promoting that artist and getting them out there on average?
You know, what does that look like?
Is that $10,000?
Is that $50,000?
Is that $100,000?
But what is the cost associated with that was my question.
Sorry.
I'm just writing back to somebody.
Yeah.
So, like, obviously, costs vary.
Like, you can have producers that charge you a certain amount.
Like, if they're a high-end producer, like, let's say, for example, the producer that we're working with now, he's an L.A. producer.
He's a Grammy Award winner.
Some of the, like, highly credited tunes that have come out in the modern era, he's been a part of.
He costs $5,000 to master a song.
That's not even studio time.
So, you can imagine what, like, studio time.
Some places can be $500.
You can pay $10,000 an hour in some studio.
Just depends on the caliber of people you're working with or what their network is.
Whereas there are hip-hop, different press releases, you can pay anywhere between $5,000 to $30,000.
A good film crew, music production set, you could pay anywhere between $5,000 to $100,000, $200,000.
It really depends on how big you want to go or how much quality, CGI, how much the production costs.
With venues, how big is the stage?
How much is the art going to cost?
How much is the upfront fee of the venue cost?
The thing is, there's so much margins for profit that these upfront payments, let's say we organize the gig for these artists, right?
It's a 15,000 capacity stadium.
You're vendoring tickets for $200,000 to $1,000 based on whether it's a VIP or an office.
Let's say, for example, you sell an average 15,000 tickets for $200.
That's nearly $5,000 or $10,000,000.
Like, I don't know specifically what it is, but we were doing it up the other night.
That's $5,000,000 to $10,000,000, and you would probably pay your crew, the stage managers, you would pay the venue.
You're probably looking at maybe $500,000 to $1,000,000 in overheads, depending on who the artist is and how much you'd pay for the venue.
That's nearly fucking $5,000,000 in profit if you're low-bounded.
Nice, nice.
So going back to my original question, then, is that something that you're providing for the artist as a label?
Is you're paying all of that upfront cost?
Or I'm just trying to better understand the business model because I understand, at least I think I understand, that, yes, you're tokenizing their music in a way that when they stream, et cetera, and there's revenue generated from that, that, you know, your label is making some money there.
And then the people who are buying those NFTs, that's being distributed to them, and that the artist is seeing more than they normally would, which I believe you said is 8% or less, but they're seeing 50%.
So I understand that side of things.
But I guess also as a label, you're also providing additional support, such as, you know, getting these artists, you know, venues, promoting, you know, that event, et cetera.
Is that correct?
Yeah, basically.
So, like, we will facilitate the proper marketing for you, get you in touch with the venues that you can have your concerts and shows at.
We give you access to the film crew, everything that you would need as an artist to have your music produced and released properly, basically, so that you have a chance, an opportunity to stream hard.
Whitney actually just messaged me.
She has to pop off the space.
So, Whitney, I just want to say thank you so much for being here.
And it's been a pleasure to get to know you, and you've been very good to work, like, you guys work.
You do a very professional job, and it's been a pleasure.
I thank you so much for being here.
Thank you, Whitney.
Thanks, Whitney.
But, yeah, so, basically, Eric, yeah, we, like, we allow artists that opportunity to access our network, basically.
And the thing is, yes, we support them, yes, we fund a lot of money, too, to have that.
But the thing is, streams are a very powerful thing.
Streams pay royalty.
Spotify paid nearly $5,000 per million streams on Spotify.
You said they pay how much?
$5,000 per one million streams.
Okay.
And YouTube pays $6,000 for one million streams.
And if a song builds 10 million streams on both, that's nearly $50,000 that generates just from streams.
Then you factor in single sales on iTunes.
Merchandising, that's T-shirts that sell for $20 each.
Signed posters, $300 or $400 each.
Mugs, $10 each.
That's profit margins that we can rev share.
Events, you're selling tickets for nearly $100, $200 for the artist.
People will go see that.
Would you say that something that I always hear is that artists make most of their money nowadays,
since the industry has changed and went digital, that they make most of their money from touring.
Would you agree?
100%.
And that comes back to the entitlement that the labels sign them to.
So when you sign an artist, you sign them to a 360 deal where they're obligated by contract.
You have to do $5,000.
What happens then, they give you an 8% stake and they take 92%.
So these guys, where I'm telling you, they're making, let's say, $5,000 per stream or per million stream on Spotify.
They're only getting $500 every time that they get a million stream, where the record label is taking $4,500.
So when they tour, they get an upfront fee for the venue, as well as a percentage of the ticket set.
So that's why they tour so much.
That's why they gig so much.
Because it's not a royalty distribution.
It's not a royalty split.
And normally, I guess, normally the way that that works, and I'm not a music industry person at all.
So forgive me if I'm asking stupid questions.
And I'm sure there are probably people in the audience who, like myself, also don't really understand the business.
But, like, for example, I have friends who do events where I live, and they're paying artists, whatever that might be, and paying for the venue, et cetera, et cetera.
There are people who are in the business of putting together these events.
And so, yeah, the artist is getting paid.
They're paying for the venue, et cetera.
How would that work with your label?
Or are there artists that are maybe initially, when they're getting started, they're having to pay for that themselves and then find a way to promote the event and make money?
Like, how does that work?
Yeah, so we actually handle that.
So we actually have a partnership right now with, like, Meadowlands, let's say, for example.
This will be, like, MetLife.
Do you know the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, the New York Giants and New York Jets?
Nice.
We have a package with them now that will start on Saturday where we advertise in their stadium and we'll advertise after every Meadowlands race on FanDuel to their 17 million users.
So there'll be two commercials on there.
We also have access to, like, HBO, ESPN, CNN.
We can have commercial ads that illustrate your sound.
We can get you plugged in to MTV, BET, Trace Urban.
We can get you plugged in basically anywhere.
Any music outlet where people listen to music, we can get you on there because we have our connections.
They're tested, trials, proven, and they help you generate awareness for your song.
Basically, what we do is we allow artists that bring us songs, high-quality music, we endorse them, give them the platform to operate, and we take a percentage of their expected success.
So I guess here's a better way for me to ask a question.
If I'm an artist and, you know, let's say I just started making music yesterday and I come up with this really cool song, at least I think it's cool, people are telling me it's cool,
and I'm looking to, you know, just grow as an artist and to level up, and then I come to Chukie or maybe you guys find me or whatever the case may be,
what would be the next step in that relationship?
Well, it depends on the quality of the track that you've laid down.
You know, there will be a lot of different tools that we use.
Obviously, we'll listen to the song, see what we can improve.
We'll send it over to our team and ask them, like, what do you think needs improvement?
There are people specific to these things, like people that master tracks, mix tracks, producers, people that handle studio recordings.
So firstly, we take a look at the track, see what could be improved on.
If it's a good record, we don't really have to do much.
Maybe we'll help them with the production of a music video, get them plugged into marketing resources, and we don't actually have to do much song.
It's already a good quality track.
This guy looks like he's marketable.
Yes, let's just give them access to our network.
Let's push the song and let's split revenue.
What we'll do to artists that are, like, raw, that need improving, we can get them hooked up in a studio.
We can get them access to producers that they can have their music mastered properly, that they can release high-quality tunes.
At the end of the day, you don't want something that's mixed improperly, that's not mastered correctly, that you don't want it to be a bad record.
You know, that kind of way.
You want to release good-quality music.
Right.
And the thing is, not many people know how to produce music properly.
So, let's assume that we get through all that.
You take my raw music that, you know, it was good, but it could have been better.
So, you did what you needed to do.
We go through that process, and now I have, you know, a really high-quality song.
What would be the next step?
Like, how do we start generating revenue from that?
I know you said with streams, it's like for every million streams, it's 5K with Spotify and 6K with YouTube.
Would that be the next step, is to try and get this thing streams?
Or would the next step be, hey, let's get this person on the road touring?
Like, what would be then the next step?
Well, the thing is, you want to leave a footprint first.
And that's what I would say.
Like, something that's organic.
So, that's like doing dance comps.
That's like TikTok trends, you know?
That kind of way of, like, getting people to use usage of the songs.
You'd have people adding that to their gym playlist.
You'd obviously upload to organic playlists, like Hip Hop Top 100, or Top Hip Hop playlists, or House playlists, or UK charts on Spotify.
There's organic playlists that you can add that have hundreds of thousands of listeners daily.
And you can get onto the top of those playlists.
You can get on TV.
You can get on, like, we can get you uploaded to the chair, the Billboard chair.
Like, that's not, that's a service.
That's not something that happens organically.
So, the first thing is to create a digital footprint.
So, really, the first thing is, you know, streams then.
Exactly.
Before touring.
It's building a base and a reference point.
It's in things.
You can work with a very high caliber artist that has a very well-known name.
And because they have a huge fan base, when you release a song with them, it will gain traction organically.
And then it's about what you do on top of it that will make it stream in the algos.
Because it's all an algorithm base.
You know, that kind of way.
Like, all these social platforms.
The thing is, Spotify, you will trend organically if you can hit certain numbers.
Like, you start getting on the suggested portions.
You start getting played after certain artists.
You start getting aligned where people can streamline your music.
It's fucked up, man.
It's crazy.
How long does that normally take, would you say, for an artist who is relatively new and doesn't have a lot of exposure?
Maybe they didn't just start yesterday.
You know, they've been creating music for years or whatever.
But how long does it take to create that digital footprint?
You know, so that you're able to get to the point where you're able to actually get to a million or more streams.
Like, how long would that process take?
And I know, obviously, there are a lot of different factors and, you know, variables.
But just, I guess, if you could give me some kind of an idea as to what the kind of time that you would expect to get them to that level where, you know, they're now looking at a million streams on Spotify or on YouTube.
The thing is, right, the more budget you have, the more noise you can make.
That's essentially what it is.
So, you can do things, obviously, if you're anticipating the release, you can have things set up predetermined before the release.
You can have certain professional dancers set up to do promotions.
You can have certain influencers that are going to push you, certain ads set up.
MTV can plug you in straight away.
Contact as many radio stations to do interviews.
The organic grassroots approach.
Getting on TV stations.
Getting on broadcasting stations.
A lot of different things where you can get advertising and awareness for a song.
We're not just marketing a crypto.
We can use Web2 companies to advertise our songs.
Basically, you can do this overnight, bro.
Like, you could literally have the song released and have a shit ton of marketing lined up for the day of the release the whole week.
I've seen songs, bro, that could be out five or six months.
And then, all of a sudden, they start picking up crazy traction because they've done something that has just clicked.
And it just takes off.
Like, Post Malone is probably the biggest anomaly in the world.
When he released White Iverson, he was basically at home on his computer, on his laptop, uploaded it to SoundCloud.
And out of nowhere, it just blew up.
Like, he didn't know how to plug it in.
Or he didn't know these marketing outlets.
Or he didn't spend much.
But that's very rare.
That doesn't happen anymore.
You need these connections.
You need to actually spend money.
To make it in the industry.
And it's a cruel beast.
But that's what it is.
It's the way it's structured.
So, I guess, Ben, your answer is the amount of time it takes.
It could be overnight or it could be years.
It varies, yeah.
Okay.
Like, the process is completely different, bro.
Like, the Chuggy track, that took 12 weeks of production, in development.
Getting it ready.
Doing the music production.
Lining up the marketing.
Getting it mastered properly.
Getting it to a point where we were happy with it.
And we liked the standards.
We have another song that's coming out right afterwards.
It took the guys nearly two weeks.
Like, it's completely different.
It's a completely different process.
Right.
And so, Chuggy took 12, you said, 12 weeks to get out the product to where it was like,
okay, this is high quality.
We like this.
We're going to, yeah, put it out there.
You said 12 weeks?
Yeah, it was a process, bro.
Like, we had six or seven different production teams working on the actual mastering of the song.
Then we had a different film crew come in for the music production.
And then we had different marketers helping us.
But we're in the inner circles right now, as you can see.
We're associating with artists like The Vito.
The next song, we're working with marketers that have worked with Kanye West and Drake on their latest releases.
And boosting in the algos on TikTok and Instagram.
They have accounts with millions of followers that they use, they plug into, that use that song on dances or challenges or organically for.
So, yeah, we work with those companies.
And we're aligning with the brass in the industry, the top tier guys, you know, that kind of way.
So, really, I mean, as a label, you just need that one artist, you know, to get the traction that you need to really start generating.
Significant revenue.
Or I guess, yeah, what is, oh, go ahead.
The way I see it is, right, our first release was 500,000 streams with two relatively unknown artists.
Our next song will be with a high-profile artist.
If we don't between two and three million streams, five million streams, that's an improvement.
That sets up as a gateway of what this is, is a proof of work and a concept that actually can be facilitated on chain.
It's a service where the artists got paid.
It was an enjoyable experience.
No one got scammed.
No one got left with a bad taste in their mouth.
Everybody's happy.
You earned a lot of money.
The royalty distribution's fair, as well as the fans are earning money from it.
It doesn't have to be lucrative.
That gives us a blueprint to go to the next artist, to get the bigger fish, the bigger guys.
We're already in discussions with them.
Right.
No, that makes sense.
That makes sense.
Cool stuff.
Cool stuff.
I mean, do you guys plan to ever get in the business of putting on events?
You know, where, like, let's say there is a bigger artist where, you know, some of my friends, for example, and something I even considered actually getting involved with is they want to do a show with NBA Youngboy.
And they more so understand all the back-end stuff.
But I guess you, like, go through an agency, pay him half a million, et cetera, et cetera.
And kind of like what you were saying, I mean, the profit on that is millions.
So have you guys considered also, I guess, getting in β I don't know if that would β what you would even call that, getting in the event industry?
Or what β yeah, I don't even know what you'd call that.
No, yeah.
Events management.
Yeah, for sure.
Like, the guy we actually work with as a co-founder who actually is good friends with DeVito and the reason that he's on this space, he's an events manager in Australia.
So he, like, brings these talents in.
He gets them paid, whether it's in a nightclub, whether it's in a venue, whether it's at a concert hall, whatever, festivals.
He arranges this with that talent and gets them paid.
And then, obviously, he knows the profit margins of what the venue makes, the hosts make, as well as the architecture.
He's a very good understanding of that.
He knows the connections that we can set up to.
We actually plan on onboard an artist.
We want to release up to 10 songs this year, all with different artists, well-known names in the industry, in the music industry.
And we want to have, in six months to 12 months time, a Chupy festival where we sell tickets on James and just have NFTs where you have a reference that you attended that concert.
So, yeah, that is in the pipeline as well.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Well, I appreciate you answering, you know, all of my questions.
Again, love what you're doing.
Love the fact that, you know, you've been at this for a long time.
You know, this is, I'm sure everyone who is on here who's, because they're investing in the project or are in the crypto space or on the crypto side of things knows that, yeah, you've been putting in work for a very, very long time.
And, so, yeah, respect to you and everything that you've, yeah, accomplished having DeVito up here.
You know, I fuck with Afrobeat, so I know who that is.
And, you know, that's big.
That's major, major, major shit right there.
So, yeah, congratulations on your success.
And, you know, I look forward to your continued success.
Eric, no, thank you for coming up.
I know we've been talking a little bit, and I appreciate you coming up and paying attention and being here and, like, obviously asking questions.
And we want to educate people as best we can.
You know, that's what it's all about, educating people on what this space can provide to people.
It's not just about meme points.
It's not just about, this is actually technology.
And it's a way to profit share with everybody in a community basis and from your backers and supporters.
So, no, I appreciate that, man.
And thank you so much for those words.
And, yeah, we're going to keep grinding.
And we're going to, we have big artists on the way, guys.
A lot of songs in the pipeline, a lot of artists in discussions.
And we're going to do more spaces like this.
Yeah, there's a huge name.
Yeah, no, most definitely.
No, super, super cool.
I mean, I like what you just said there that, you know, this is actually technology.
And for me, I got involved with cryptocurrency, you know, because, you know, I saw, you know, real use cases, you know, and how this technology could be used to solve problems at scale.
So, you know, definitely disrupting the music industry.
You know, I think there's a lot of opportunity there, you know, leveraging, you know, blockchain as you guys are doing.
So, I love the vision.
Yeah, definitely a lot of opportunity for sure.
So, yeah, my man, again, it was a pleasure.
I'm going to go ahead and, you know, stop talking, though, step down as a speaker and let, you know, other people ask their questions and do their thing.
But thank you again.
No, thanks, Eric.
