Hello everyone, good morning. First, I just want to say hello. We have some really exciting speakers today, so I'm really pumped. I think it's going to be such good space with amazing energy. For anyone that doesn't know us, we're ocean floor music. We're located in Australia. So it's pretty cool. We have...
musicians and artists from all over the world today joining us. So I'm so excited to hear from them.
First, I want to introduce Mark, our co-host or hosts really today. Hey, Mark. How are you?
Good, thanks, Shay. I'm pretty hot for this. We've got some awesome guests today.
Yeah, very exciting. And Mark, I think you just got back from Melbourne, didn't you? How was that?
Yeah, Melbourne was great. I'm a little bit tired. My flight was delayed three hours. I've had about three hours sleep. So apologies if I'm a bit sluggish today, but super hyped. And I'm sure it'll energize me talking a bunch of great artists today.
Absolutely. So I would love to introduce some of our artists. I'm really excited to introduce
a be-boo. Sorry if I'm probably called that so wrong. I'm shocking at this. Sorry. But I'm
really excited to talk to you because basically I know that you're a very successful visual artist
and you've released multiple NFTs.
NFT collections, but now you're actually releasing your first music NFT, so please tell us all about that.
Hi, Hi Ocean, Hi Mark, and Hooligan and awesome and everyone else in the room.
Yes, I'm actually so excited to get into the music journey.
because, you know, I've been a visual artist for quite a long time for more than 20 years,
20 years ago. I had my first exhibitions ever since then. I worked in design area and branding
and participated in many exhibitions. But around two years ago, probably, I started to
sing, learn singing.
And ever since then, it was my greatest wish and desire and I don't know, dream.
to accomplish some songs, I don't know, maybe of my own.
Because, you know, as a creative person, I got melodies started to run in my head right away.
But I just didn't have enough knowledge, enough skills to make them happen.
So I'm really...
Really happy that right now it's happening.
Very excited about that.
And if you will want to play it, may I send you a link in your DMs so you can play it because it does not sound good from my phone, so probably will be better.
from yours yeah of course please link it we're going to get to lots of music soon i would love to
all the musicians first and then we'll um definitely we love it when people play their music so
that would be amazing and congratulations on how far you've come in the digital world but obviously
you've got so much experience so you've adapted which is just so so so cool i'm excited to hear more um
Yeah, so basically just a little bit of an overview of this space.
I know that we talk about the tech a lot.
So I wanted to get into why we're actually in this space from the beginning.
Why, like, what brought you here?
Why is it so important for you to release your art on the blockchain?
And, yeah.
I think a lot of it is because, you know, it brings people together and builds a stronger
connection than ever. So, yeah, I would love to hear that from all of you also, but we'll get
to that shortly. Awesome is JL. Sorry, I might be saying that again wrong, but please stand up.
I know that you have been right into the metaverse. So why the metaverse for you? And yeah,
tell us what you're working on.
Yo, yo, yo, it's your boy, awesome.
J.L. AKA the biggest music artists in the Metaverse.
So first and foremost, I would like to thank you for inviting me to your platform.
So major shout out to everybody in the room.
Do me a favor.
Go ahead and hit that bubble in the bottom right.
Go ahead and retweet out the space so other people can find out about the space.
But to answer your question,
Um, so the Metaverse, right? So why are the Metaverse? So I basically, um, when I first came
into Web 3, like I had this huge idea, right? I said, hey, I want to be the biggest music
artist in the Metaverse. And then I had to come up with an actual strategy to accomplishing that,
right? So I said, okay, what would be the best way to do that? I said, you know what? I want to be
prevalent on, I want to be.
The biggest artist, right, in terms of being on the most blockchains.
as a music artist, which I'm pretty sure, like, I haven't really seen many people try to do that, but that was my strategy.
And so I started calling myself the biggest music artist in the Metaverse.
So my way of building in the Metaverse is trying to leverage partnerships with each blockchain to make sure my music is obtainable there in every major Metaverse and on every blockchain.
So to answer your question, that's why the Metaverse.
Wow, that's amazing.
So can you tell us a little bit more about what you do in the Metaverse and what you've got going on right now?
So I have a lot going on.
So I have a lot going on, right?
So I'm a producer.
I'm a music artist.
I also curate content and I'm a content creator as well, right?
Um, so I produce shows, right? Um, so I actually have a show coming up tomorrow. Um, it's a new show that I curated and created called Beast on Air. And that's going to be exclusively a Web 3, Web 2, um, live stream music show.
So yeah, so that's kind of what I do, right?
So first and foremost, I'm a businessman and music artists, right?
So I like to leverage all my different skills, you know, to help push my whole campaign forward within Web 3 and in Web 2 as well.
So yeah, like I said, I got a lot going on.
But yeah, I'm a music artist.
I'm a producer and content creator.
How do we check out tomorrow show?
Where do we go for that?
I can actually post a link up top if I have to go ahead to do that.
All right.
It will be live on my YouTube and my Twitter, actually.

homie. You know, you got a mic if you want to come up and chime in real quick. Ken Jill in the building.
I see a kid, Clive. You got a mic as well, yo. What we want to talk about first, eh?
Yeah, so I guess what we can talk about is the first question and jump in,
Obviously, our spaces are obviously very chilled and laid.
You have just as much as a voice as the host, so just jump in whenever.
Sorry, yeah, I am looking at you, Hooligan.
We haven't talked to you yet.
So please, before we get into the questions, jump in.
I'd love to hear from you and what you're working on.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate it.
I want to jump into the questions as well.
It's ho-legin, baby.
You know what it is?
A rapper, changed my life.
You know, used to be a trapper, all that.
You know, from the dirty South, you heard me.
Florida, baby, we increase in the heat.
You know, I might talk a little different.
I might talk a little, you know, a little street, you know, and everything.
But I'm a very educated and I'm a great person.
If you get to know me, I'm really a good dude, you know,
and I'm pursuing my music full time if I'm not working.
I'm putting all my energy into my music.
for about the past, I want to say five years, really pursuing it, you know, professionally.
But I've been freestyling, rapping my whole life.
Always love rap and always love freestyle and always love getting into settings with my friends and everybody be rapping.
You know, I just always love that.
I love hip-hop music, every aspect of it from, you know, some of my best friends are graffiti artists.
Some of my best friends, you know, or turntable, some of my best friends breakdance, you know,
just the whole culture of hip-hop, you know, is me.
I always loved everything about it.
And like I said, recently, I've been really pursuing my music.
I dropped three on 420.
I wanted to drop four, but Easter kind of slowed it down.
So I got that one, you know, in the ready.
It's being mixed and master right now.
You know, I went through a few things with some sound engineers.
And they were screwing me over, taking on my money, not doing anything.
And I finally linked up with a local guy with a local studio where I'm from.
And it's in Destin.
I live in Niceville, Florida, but this place is in Destin.
It's on the...
the beach side. I live on the Bayside. And it's truly incredible that God put us together because,
I mean, it's 10 times better quality. He gives me a deal because he likes my music and he wants
to work with me. I mean, it's just I needed to get away from those dudes. And it was like,
I didn't think I was going to find somebody else and I found somebody 10 times better. So,
you know, I'm just going to keep pursuing my music. You know, music brings me joy. And, you know,
I heard 50 cents say one time, you know, if you want to make music that nobody wants to listen to, make a song, go listen to it in your basement.
You know, he's clown to somebody.
You know, I want people to listen to it and fill it.
You know, I don't want people just to hear my music.
I want them to fill it.
And, you know, maybe I haven't created a smash hit song yet or whatever, but I believe that the music and the content that I'm putting out now.
is really a lot better than I've ever done in my entire life because I'm at that point where
I've worked so hard at this every day, you know, constantly, you know, not just messing around
freestyle with my friends and stuff, but like really pursuing music, figuring out what
publishing rights mean, what it means to license Lisa's a beat. Like, how do I know what's going
on with everything? And it's like college. I'm learning something every day. So, yeah.
You know, if you want, I can kind of start with the question, too, why I got into crypto.
I got into crypto and the blockchain years ago.
Like I said, I used to live a different life, hence the name, Hooligan.
My rat name actually comes from the newspaper.
I was arrested.
I was arrested a whole bunch of times before Easter one year.
And the newspaper wrote in the newspaper, The Nappy-headed Hooligan strikes again, and they posted all the mob.
arrest, you know,
mug shots from that.
It was like seven of them
or something ridiculous.
And so I don't even like that name.
my friends called me that,
but I used to live a different life.
So I got into the blockchain,
Silk Road days like the original like people didn't even know what Bitcoin was.
People were scared to even get it like ledgers like all kind of stuff.
So, you know, I was messing with it back then in nefarious ways getting, you know,
things that I probably shouldn't have been getting.
It wasn't crazy, but you know, dope, you know, moving that dope and stuff like that.
So I'm just being real.
Would you know, like that's where I got into the blockchain, you know, I stayed with it.
I always had crypto, always loved it.
Always loved it.
And when NFTs dropped, like my partner, Louie.
Louis C. Rimes, he really got me into it.
You know, like, you need to get into this NFTs.
You need to drop music NFTs.
You need to do this.
This is how you do it.
And, you know, he guided me in, him and Kane and E.C.
I don't know if y'all know any of those guys, but those three dudes were really pivotal in pushing me to Web 3 and, you know, showing me the ropes and what to do and how to drop music NFTs.
And I've dropped one Ethereum NFTs.
that uh i burned after after i sold you know sold something then i burned the rest and then i created
a vax the nfts sold it on one of one and now i've got uh two more different one of ones on
a vax and i'm going to drop the song that i didn't drop on 420 that still getting mixed and mastered
as my music nfti drop and i've got a couple artists going to work with me and make it really dope
you know like a video and
Because I want to bring the visual aspect, too.
I want people to know who I am and stuff.
And I'm long with it, too.
So, you know, that's kind of a long answer, but that's really who I am, you know, right now.
Man, I was just spinning your latest track while you're talking.
It's unreal.
I'm curious who your influences are.
I feel like I can hear a few different people in there.
So like I said, I'm from the dirty South, man.
You know, like I grew up listening, like when I was young, like Master P, ghetto dope.
Like, you know, like Spice One from California, you know, like stuff like that.
Like when I first started to listen to hip hop, like it was like Snoop Dogggy style.
I remember that on a tape.
My cousin got it from a used to be able to publish your clearinghouse or something.
No, that's not what it's called.
Don't quote me on the name.
But it was something you like order some CDs and tapes off of back in the day.
If you know, you know.
So anyway, he had got Snoop Doggy style.
And let me tell you, bro, it ain't no fun.
If the homie can't have.
Hey, I was a kid, I was Jimmy.
How he did like the skits.
Like everything about it was dope.
The skits, I mean, just, it was an incredible piece of art, bro.
And, you know, that's really why I fell in love with hip hop.
Honestly, God, was that tape, you know?
I love that. I love chatting like first ever cassette and first ever CD.
That's always an interesting sign of a person. That's super cool.
Mark, did you want to run a track after we hear from each artist? What do you think?
Yeah, let's do some tracks. Who wants to jump in with one?
Hooligan, since you're talking, you want to run one of your tracks? Or you want Mark?
Yeah, yeah, man. I'll send you all a link or whatever. If y'all would like to play it, I'd appreciate it.
Yeah, if you can play it through yours, man. I'm caught on the hop a little bit today. I just jumped off a flight.
So if you can do it, that'd be cool.
I think it's good if you play it.
I can play it for you, but at least then it's coming out of your profile pictures.
People that join know it's you if you have this setup.
Otherwise, I'm more than happy to play it.
Yeah, I do.
I just don't know how it's going to sound.
Like I got this, I don't know.
It's kind of like an issue.
But yeah, let me turn on the speaker real quick.
If you have an iPhone, just make sure you have the wide spectrum open and you should be good.
For everybody just joining us, we're talking about music NFTs, music NFTs for the win.
Retweet the space.
Get your family in here.
Get your loved ones.
Get your friends and everybody in your group chats.
We're about to turn it up.
How's the weather over today, Shah?
Yeah, it's nice.
It's coming into winter now.
It's actually autumn, but the summer days are coming to an end, whereas I guess where you guys are, it's, oh, you're in Miami, so you don't have that issue, too.
We've been having a lot of rain, as we...
We're getting that filtration, but, yo, not only you guys way ahead of us in time, but way ahead in seasons.
So it seems that's beautiful.
Yeah, it's like a whole other world over here.
But I wanted to say, sorry, I don't know how to say your name.
Please correct me so I can say it right from now on, but a babea, a babya.
Were you saying that you also had a song called Ocean coming out?
And then Mr. Brian just said that he has a song called Ocean coming out.
Am I right in saying that?
My song, yes, it's called The Ocean.
So I guess it's kind of wipes with you.
This is crazy.
And I messaged you both to come on.
So something weird is happening.
I think subliminally they're trying to get the steam tracks ready for ocean floor.
Like, you know, if you're looking for one.
Sheesh, we got plenty of candidates.
Yo, shout out to Vialetta for pulling up.
You know, we got to throw her a mic.
Come up here and go crazy for us, if you like.
Somebody just threw her hand up.
Was that kid?
What up, kid?
How you feel?
What's going on guys? What's going on? I'm just curious if you guys have like an order as far as
Playing music and I would just like to get in that chain if possible
No order. Let's go for it. Well, I'm up now. We're gonna hear from a hooligan quickly then welcome to jump in man.
Oh man, I was bugging. I was like, I ain't ready. And I want to give some flowers too to ocean floor music.
Just got familiar with them and I will certainly be digging in a bit.
Appreciate you guys having me in the space. Looking forward to jamming out with you guys.
Thank you, man. I appreciate that. We do have a big announcement coming in the coming week.
So I'm looking forward to getting you guys up to date and everything across then. It's pretty exciting.
Holigan, how are you going with the song? Shall we throw to someone else?
Hooligan, how are you feeling?
Mike, check one, two.
If you don't mind, yeah, I'm trying to, like, set it all up.
I have the speaker and everything, but I...
All right.
I should have been prepared.
That's my fault.
I apologize.
But if somebody is prepared, if you don't mind, I'd appreciate it.
We can rotate.
Let's start with the ladies.
What's Ibabur doing?
Yeah, I'm...
Actually, I woke up not a long time ago.
I'm here in Siberia, Russia.
It's quite cold today's morning.
It will get warmer in daytime, but now the temperature is close to freezing.
But in the day, it will raise up to 14 degrees Celsius, and they at least promise.
So let's hope that spring will come here at last year.
Yeah, and gladly joined the space.
So that's pretty much what I've been doing today.
Just send my kids to school and glad that you're in Australia, so your time works fine for me.
We love your excitement.
Did you have any music queued up for us and for the family?
Yeah, and I'm hoping that the ocean floor music can play it.
I have sent the link, and I would...
Yeah, we'll figure that out for you. I'll get it set out.
I'm about to say, Ocean, they put y'all on the spot today. They want to test out, you want to test out your equipment.
You know, while people are getting their links and everything queued up, and, you know, depending on what these links are, Ocean, if you guys are having a little technical, run it to me.
Maybe I can run it. I know I love that.
Love to run it as well.
Yeah, yeah.
You're too good to us.
You're always saved the day.
I swear to God.
Yeah, I am more of a social media chick rather than an audio gal.
So that's not going to sound the best coming from me, but we'll definitely work it out.
Rocky, I'd love to say hey to you.
How are you going?
Hey, what's going on?
I was confused about who was talking because I've heard a woman voice come from that profile before.
But what's up?
How's it going?
It's nice to meet you.
It's good.
It's Shea.
Yeah, it's Shea here.
Usually Marks on the Ocean Floor Music profile, and I'm Shea, who reps via letters, DP.
But we keep having issues with ruggings, so we're thinking that it's marks...
connection at his house.
I've been here.
I've been here for one of those.
I put you on the spot, Mark again.
Mark and Mark.
They keep calling your name, man.
They want Mark, Mark, Mark, Mark.
I can actually save y'all for a little bit.
I got a setup.
So I'll actually go ahead and run a track first.
And then, you know, me and Darius can kind of work together as a team.
Yeah, we can swap it out and it looks like Hogan might be ready too
Yeah, if y'all are ready I'm ready to go
Alright then we got awesome

So we're going to go ahead and get into this.
This is self-produced, Mix and Master by me.
Um, yeah, so here it is, M17. Let's get into it.

You got to hit them all on the soundboard, you know, to make everything working, you know what I'm saying?
Yo, that's lit.
Hey, you got to teach me how to do that, Darius.
That was wild.
Right in that order, too, you know what I'm saying?
It's like its own song.
But, yo, that was a vibe, fam.
You already know.
Sheesh, what you call that one?
That's called M17, and that's available on all major streaming platforms.
I was about to call that.
I decline.
You know what I'm saying?
No, facts.
I definitely thought about calling it.
That be fair.
So what made you go with M17?
You know what I'm saying?
So yeah, man.
Hey, man, you know as artists get real deep, man.
So I actually, so when I named this song M17, it's so funny, man.
So the sample that you hear in the background,
that sounds like an angelic voice that's actually me singing in the background.
So I sample myself.
At the time, I was actually shooting a short film documentary, right?
And that short film documentary was actually supposed to be like a sequel to a mixtape that I released a long time ago called M16.
So the whole idea with M15 was that.
It was like, you know, just a general play like, oh, I'm a rapper.
I'm spitting like a machine gun.
You know, I'm like an M16.
You know what I mean?
Just a cliche vibe, right?
Because it was a while back, right?
So over the years, I continued to build on it, right?
And instead of me releasing a mixtape, I was like, okay, I'm going to release a song,
but I'm more mature now, right?
So I actually found out, I was just going up with the number.
I'm like M17, right?
So when I call the M17, I'm like, man, this got a deeper meaning, right?
And I'm like, yeah.
My higher self is telling me it's a meaning to this.
So I actually looked it up and M17 is actually a galaxy, like a nebula,
like a nebula of galaxies.
And I was like, yo, this go with the whole vibe of the song, too.
You know what I mean?
So that's what it really is.
You can actually look it up.
Type in M17 and you will see the actual cluster that it represents in the galaxy.
Yeah, but I'm so happy you walked us through that story.
We just think about that story, Shea.
That was good.
Okay, before we go into another song, I want to welcome West Ghost Up and also talk a little bit more about our topic.
But please...
Talk to us West Coast because I'm so excited to hear from you.
Jumped into one of our spaces before and shared your amazing music.
And also your story about getting into NFTs.
So I'd love if you could share that with us again.
Thanks for having me.
Is J.L. bro.
That track was awesome.
I just wanted to say that real quick.
All the music's been really dope.
Sorry, I'm a little late.
It's been a crazy day.
I just launched my second music and I have to be.
You know, doing the whole thing, making sure it's everything's launched properly and all that stuff.
But but yeah, no, I'm honored to be here.
I love, I love these spaces.
That last space that I was in, I was just like, whoa, this is like, I love when you just like find, find a pocket.
And you're like, wow, I really, I really vibe with these people.
I really vibe with this energy in this room.
So I was happy to come back in and say what up.
So just, you know, my whole journey into.
into NFTs, it's been interesting, to be honest.
It's been short.
It feels like I've been in this ship for like 10 years, which is hilarious.
I feel like the Web 3 space ages you in that sense where it's like, we're used to things
happening kind of quick and somehow time feels like it stretches, but only got into it
about a year and a half ago.
And you know, I was...
trading crypto at first and I was super bored looking at the numbers go up and down so I was like
I want to find something that's like fun and exciting and filled with people because you know
trading coins alone is pretty lonely I mean you probably send a one friend you're like oh my god I'm
up and then you're like oh my god I'm broke and that's about like your social interaction is just
like staring at charts so the nmpt space intrigued me because there's a ton of people that uh
just human beings that are like excited about this or that project and
You know, I started finding little pockets of communities that I vibe with.
And I don't remember if I shared it last time, but like, you know, I early on I was like new to Discord.
I literally had one friend who was just like walking me through how to get a metamask and how to like, you know, like transfer ETH and all this different stuff.
And one thing I forgot to ask was like, how do I keep my shit safe?
So I was like in a Discord one night and I clicked on a DM.
And I thought it was this product.
I was like gonna buy my girl her first NFT for Christmas.
And I thought it was this project like messaging me and I didn't know anything.
You know, so I click on it.
I'm super excited and like a dumb ass, I fucking, sorry for all the expletives, but like like an idiot,
I entered my C phrase and within five minutes like everything that I had.
And I was so new, you know, I was literally probably like a month into it.
And everything that I had got wiped.
You know, all the crypto that I had left was wiped on my early projects.
And it was a lesson learned.
I didn't, they always say, like, you know, when you're getting your seat phrase, they're
like, keep this safe and don't share it with anybody.
But like, I was just so excited to be in the space.
I didn't really do my due diligence.
And yeah, I paid the consequence.
And I was gutted, you know, I was like right there.
I could have given up on the space and just been like whatever.
It was a big loss, you know?
And I posted on Twitter that I had gotten hacked, because I just wanted to like, I was just
I need to post about it.
So like if somebody else is about to do exactly what I did, which is super easy.
Like I consider myself a pretty intelligent dude, you know, but I was like in that moment,
I was like my IQ was like zero.
And I posted it and Gary V hit me up and he was like, yo dude, like I saw your post.
And I was like, oh my God, I didn't even know he followed me, but he like followed me sometime and sent
me a message and we started talking.
He encouraged me to stay in the space.
And he was just like, what you're like, create a new wallet right now.
And I was like, oh, fuck, okay.
So create a new wallet.
And then he's like, you know, what's the new address?
And he sent me a couple of entities.
And, you know, and then left me with the message like, you know, I see you're creative and you're an artist.
And like we need, you know, creatives in this space.
And so I don't want you to give up on it.
Like, I know there's bad people, but there's also good people.
And he was like...
You know, you can rebuild.
And I was super, like, it came at a good time because I don't know if anybody's been hacked
in here before, but like, it literally feels like the end of the world.
You're like, oh my God, like, I'm losing everything.
And like, I was like depressed for a minute and I was just like, gonna quit.
You know, I was like, okay, that was fun for a week and I lost it all.
But then, you know, I stuck around and I rebuilt, you know, I started.
thinking about the space in a different way, I was just like, well, I don't need to rush.
And, you know, and there are good people out here.
I was, you know, I was in a different financial situation because I just lost a bunch of money
so I was like, I can't afford to go ape into every project and like I'm not a whale
or anything like that.
And like, I do make a living from my music, but like I don't want to have to explain
my business manager's like, hey, I'm like spending like $5,000 on a fucking picture, you
So I was like, how can I like be a part of this space without having to like ape in, you
Like, I certainly don't think I need to, like, buy every single project just to, like, vibe with people and just see if it's something that I want to work up to getting into.
So I started hanging out in different discords.
And it was like, I guess is that, like, Twitter spaces really, like, took a hold, like, on the...
like earlier like after all of that I feel like Twitter spaces were like I know they were
going but I don't think projects were doing it like to the level that like we're doing
this now and just kind of like a daily routine type of thing so I wasn't really on Twitter
spaces but I was just hanging out with communities and I was really inspired and I was really
stoked about different projects and
I didn't have a ton of time to sit in a Discord and do those grinding things where
you're just like trying to level up and get on white list or whatever.
But I did see people doing stuff with their talents.
Somebody would make like a derivative art piece or like anime or something or like recite a poem
and post a poem, whatever.
And I saw people like utilizing their creativity.
in innovative ways to like kind of contribute
to like the energy of a project.
And like, you know, I thought to myself,
like I wanna do something with my music, you know?
Like I produce and write.
I wasn't doing it to the extent that I'm doing it now.
I mean, I produce it right for other artists,
but like I wasn't super confident.
I always worked with other people
and let other people produce my music.
And so I was just like, you know what?
Like, I'm going to try and make some anthems.
So I started making different projects, anthems.
And I was really just like in a super explorative state where I was like trying out producing and writing and mixing everything by myself without like.
Yeah, what am I gonna do?
Reach out to a producer and be like, hey, do you wanna like spend like a couple hours and make a track with me?
Oh, what's it for?
Oh, an NFT project, they'd be like, get out of here, you know what I'm saying?
So I was just like, let me just try to mess around and have fun.
And I started making these anthems and I would just post them on SoundCloud and like post them on Twitter.
And you know, communities started.
you know, adopting some of those songs as their anthems.
And it was a really cool, like, organic way for me because I wasn't trying to do it to, like,
hey, let me get a white list or anything.
Some of these projects I made songs for had already minted.
And I was just loving the vibes.
And, like, I was like, you know, I'm going to save.
I'm going to put $100 in, you know, every week or whatever and, like, get this project.
And I was just hang out in the communities until I got to that point.
And, yeah, really kind of kick started everything for me in the space.
Like, yeah.
as far as like being an active contributor,
like somebody who isn't just like
trying to make profits or like
here for the wrong reasons. It was like, I feel like it's a really safe space to like explore
my creativity and I know we've kind of seen it with spaces and like people hosting and hanging
out and these personalities that we get to come across. Like without this stuff, you know, we
wouldn't know who these people are. So I felt that way with my music where it's like, well,
you know, I have, I have fans that listen to me on like traditional streaming platforms,
but like I'm making a whole new audience of like,
like people like that are that are just like vibe into my stuff and like vibe into a project song you know
and like like it's not about me it's about the project and like but it was cool to just kind of have that
like feeling like wow this is a community that's welcoming and they're not just like it's not like
fans who are going to either hate it or love it it's like you know it's for this project so like
they vibe with it and they they treat it like an anthem so it was really really dope and it kind
got me you know my head spinning and thinking and after
you know, a year of kind of making all these different anthems, I was like, I want to start telling my story.
And I want to do it in a way where I can still interact with the Web 3 space, which is why I started West Coast.
I wanted to use IP on a project and like tell a story through like animations and but also like make it not like Web 3 specific music.
So I'm not talking about blockchain and like crypto and all this stuff.
Like I'm talking about real life stuff.
So yeah, I mean that's kind of like my journey.
It was like it was it was it was really organic and it was and it's been I've had so much fun like I.
I think my only low moment was like getting hacked.
And like, you know, there's a few people that are haters in this base and like, there's
there's rug pools and all these different things that discourage us.
But for the most part.
You know, it's been such a positive experience in my life.
Time consuming for sure, but super positive as far as just like my world's opened up.
Sometimes I'm talking to people that are in different parts of the world, which I just think
is so dope.
And if I did music or if I didn't do music, I'd still, I think I'd still be in this space
simply because of like the value that some of these projects can bring people on a human
to human level.
Yeah, I'm blessed to be here and I'm so glad I didn't give up. I almost gave up
If it wasn't for Gary Vee, I wouldn't probably be here, you know.
Yo, shout out to Gary Vee, man.
If it wasn't for the GV, a lot of us probably wouldn't be here.
It's crazy.
Yo, that's a wild story, bro.
That was a piece that we, I never knew, man.
Like, yo, did you all hear that piece of Westgo's story?
I love whenever Westgoes speak, man, he pills away a new layer each time.
You know what I'm saying?
My man is multi-layered.
And, yeah, we appreciate you West Coast in the space for show.
Shay, what you want to do?
You want West to spend something?
And then I got E. Bobber accued up as well.
Oh, amazing. Yeah, I just wanted to ask one more question, West Coast, because you're obviously
talking a lot about community and how that's impacted your music so much. Where do you build your
community? Is it Discord? And how do you find that? Because I think in a lot of spaces we talk to artists
and the artists that we've worked with have struggled with Discord as a channel, because obviously
they have their Web 2 audience and, well, I don't like to.
sorry, I don't like to call them Web 2, Web 3, but I guess non-adept people to things like
Discord and NFTs, so it's harder to get all of your audience into Discord.
How are you finding that?
And yeah, just talk a bit more about it.
No, that's such a, I mean, that's a brilliant question.
And, you know, I think everyone can answer it differently because everyone's different, but
I found that to be something that like before I started, you know, I'm, I've only dropped
my second music entity and like I've dropped a ton of music in traditional platforms.
So I consider myself still pretty new to the music and the music and it and building community,
That's something that I thought about a lot.
You know, there's artists that do it really well and they focus person to person.
And I think that's amazing.
And there's artists that do super low-priced mints where it's affordable for people to get in.
Because if, I mean, you know, especially if like imagining an arm somebody coming into the space new to the space, like the amount of money we spend on like.
you know, things in general is it's intimidating, you know, and we're so used to seeing the
the eth amount and forget about the dollar amount. So, um, whether you're doing a loan
price man or a high price man, I think it's, there's, there's a challenge in, um, I definitely
think there's a challenge in like the traditional places that people listen to music and find
music. Um, let's say you could have like,
a few million people that stream your music and you drop a music in a T and
it might it might not connect there there might be a really really small percentage of
those people that are in the space onboarded enough to interact with your men or like
or see the value in collecting music it's hard enough to get people to like pre-examine
pre-save a song or whatever, like imagining them, like, spending money on it is a difficult
thing for that web two side of things.
But what I've done and, like, what I enjoy, because...
I have a different viewpoint.
For me, I love people.
I just love people so much.
Like, I'm not even capping.
Like, I just love people.
I'm such a people person.
I love being around people.
I love talking to people, meeting people, hanging with people.
So Discord has been fun because it's super small right now.
There's like about 165 people in my Discord.
And it's not like a traditional Discord for a music or an NFT project where there's
tons of people like spamming the chat and like
It's not like there's, you know, if it's quiet in there for a few hours, like people are doing their doing their day.
They're at jobs or whatever.
And then when there is a message in there, I like to make sure I tap in and I respond to people.
I answer tickets myself when they come in.
I go on my voice chat and I share my screen to my like 10 plus holders and I show them
what I'm working on it.
Like one of the first times I did that, I just had like a full on conversation.
Like there were a few people listening, but I had a full like one on one conversation
with somebody for like 30 minutes and it was like.
It was really, really dope to have like a hub.
And like in a sense, there's there's a lot of ways I look at it like a bulletin board to be able to update people in real time what you're working on.
But it's also a really cool place for people that do want to take that step and join the Discord to like get to know the people that are collecting and listening.
I think that like my mentality on fans and mince and all that stuff is like it's less
about like the amount of people that mince something or even how much it is.
Whatever you want to value your art is, it's fine.
It's your thing.
But like I think that focusing on us like
Having like a hundred like die hard people is
It's way fucking doper than having like a million people that are passively
Invested in your stuff so I think that my mentality is like I
start small and build and you know with each drop that I'm doing I'm hoping that there's there's new
collectors in a new audience but I don't want to be focused so much on new people that are going to
be discovering me and forget about the people that are supporting me and from from day one so
yeah it's it's a very interesting topic I think I've seen you know be challenging I have friends that are
You know, they're independent artists, but they're pretty big and they go on tours and
they do all this stuff and they, I was talking to them about my drop and they're like,
oh, I want to drop my music on sound.
And the best thing that I tell them is I'm just like, you know, if you want to, if
you want to drop music and you take my opinion or leave it, hang out in the space.
Like get to know the people that will be potentially collecting it before you go asking
them to collect it.
Like put yourself out there and join spaces.
I had a buddy today in my space.
who I onboarded him.
I got him, you know, he came over to my place,
we hung out, had some coffee, and I, you know,
I helped him walk him through getting a wallet
and setting it up, and he's a really, really talented musician.
And I was like, you know, it's not like you have to, like,
I'm not saying go out in an engagement farm and like,
you know, like be annoying about like just trying to like play every time you go up on a stage
or whatever. But I'm like, see what the, see what like what's out there and like pop into spaces
and just like listen and like hang out and like learn. And I think that's a really, really cool way
to organically do anything. Like music or no music. Like
if you want to be a part of something or if you have ideas that you want to share,
it's really, really important. I feel like to be a part of communities.
If you want to build a community, like being a part of community is the first step.
And I think like Web 2 or Web 3, like artists are nothing without fans and nothing
without supporters and nothing without community.
Because like I said, there's artists that have millions of streams, but they play a show
and nobody shows up.
And part of that issue is like there's a lot of people
We don't even want to get into like Spotify and Apple, but there's a lot of people that are like are on these big playlists that are like they play at the gym and they play at a loop at coffee shops.
And there's not like people like necessarily going and clicking play on an artist or or looking for that song and listening to it.
They're passively listening to it.
Like it's on a playlist and at a party.
And like so so the person who's hearing it, yeah, you might get a million streams in a month.
how many of those people were just like, it was just on at a party and like there wasn't that
intimate connection with one-on-one listeners.
So I think that's a great question and it's something that I think about a lot as I'm moving
forward for sure.
Thank you so much for that.
It's so insightful and that's something that we've been preaching a lot.
I mean, about the take care of those super fans rather than, and they're so much more valuable
than 100%.
like million fans that don't even invest or take care in your art or invest in you at whatsoever.
So I totally agree and that's something that Ocean Floor music is so so interested in hearing
and hoping that we're not alone in that and just hearing that from you is really great.
So thank you.
Before we play another song, I did just want to talk to DJC because I know that it's really early for him
and he might want to jump off again.
So I really want to hear from you because I know that you also have a Discord and you're very active in it.
I'm in your Discord.
You're always doing live shows.
So I wanted to hear from you in your perspective about community and why that plays so important in your NFTs and your art.
Have we lost you, DJ, SIP?
GM GM DJ SEP in the building.
Oh, my man, sleeping on stage.
What you want to do about that, Mark?
Just more sound effects.
I think that'll wake him up.
Yo, we had O-Art come to the stage.
We just wanted to say hi to you.
How you feeling, O-Art?
I'm feeling good.
How you feeling today?
We also had Triple T, Triple-3 come to the stage.
How are you feeling?
We're feeling all right.
Just enjoying the space.
I'm loving all the love that is coming through.
We were in West Ghost chat earlier before his song minted, so congratulations on minting that again, my friend.
That's awesome.
And I sent some music to Ocean Floor if they would like to play.
If y'all would like to play it too, that's fine.
But if not, that's fine too.
We're just here to chat and meet new people.
Yeah, we'd love to. I think we got Darius on the decks spinning some tunes for us today. He's helping us out.
All right, yeah, we can spin Eibaba next since she's been up here waiting so patiently.
And then we can decide who's going to go next. I know my boy West Ghost got the Mint.
I definitely copped that one as well as sleepwalking.
Maybe my man want to cue up one of those. Might get an exclusive. We never know with West Ghost, man.
But yeah, we go spin Eibaba right now. Retweet the space.
Turn off the bass, let's go.
Before you play it, I will tell you.
Oh, man, there we go. What was that?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Before you play, I will tell you a little bit about it
because I'm a visual artist, first of all.
So my music goes with visual arts, so let me pin it to the space.
It's an animation that I have made that is called The Ocean.
So hope you enjoy both music and visual art.
Thank you.
Uh-oh, here we go.
Visual with the musical.
Appreciate you, Barbara.
Man, you already caught a clip of it.
Let's get the rest of it.
Get them heads up.
I have a part of love.
I die in the water of pollution, out of your shoe.
I die in the water,
off your shoe, off your shoe.
I dive in the water
of the ocean,
of the ocean.
Oh my god.
Oh, my God.
In the water
In the water
Of the ocean
Thank you so much.
This is my collaboration with the
Songs of Eden who has made a music for this piece
and thank you all so much for listening.
I love that.
That was crazy.
Yeah, that was fire.
I really felt like I was in the middle of the ocean, no lie.
That's what I was thinking, too.
It made me want to be in the ocean.
That's easily on a Cafe Del Marr type of compilation, you know what I'm saying?
Any chill out, down-tempo vibe, yo, that was crazy.
Thank you so much for sharing.
I'm so happy you can make it to this space and share that with us.
I feel very lucky.
Thank you so much for inviting me.
It's such a pleasure to be around you.
And as, as Go said, like, I'm a very people addicted person.
So it's a pleasure for me to connect to you, to get to know all of these people.
beautiful artists there in the space.
Thank you so much for inviting me
and looking forward to listen more stories from those who are on the stage.
So it's a pleasure.
And also, if you will let me a quick story of my Twitter get hacked because it was such an interesting story of Gary Vee helping out.
But for me, it wasn't Gary Vee.
So I'll share with you quickly.
When I was at 15K followers, my Twitter got hacked.
And the hacker took it away from me.
And he was like threatening me at first saying like he got all of my.
documents, you like take, uh, take credits on my, like everything.
So he asked for 200 bucks to pay him.
And I was like, I was disconnected from Twitter.
Uh, thankfully I, I,
I had time to post like, I'm getting hacked into one of the communities.
And then I got one person who responded really quick to get me in telegram.
So he kind of took me through some certain steps on security and stuff like that.
But anyway, this hacker was like threatening me.
I wasn't responding to him.
And the next day, well, he took my account.
He said that it was like someone else's account and we have a collection and stuff like that.
And people started to, people from the community started to say, hey, it's not your account.
You stole it.
Like, you were.
And the community was really, really supportive.
And in like in a day I made a new account and I got like 500 people following me in a day or two.
So the community was so much supportive.
And you know, the next day the hacker wrote me again and she said like, oh well, maybe you'll give me 20 bucks at least.
and I'll give you a Twitter back.
I kind of played with it.
It didn't work.
And I said, that's when I started to talk to him.
And I said, I'm not going to give you any money,
but I'm sorry that you have to earn money with this bad way.
And, you know, he started to pour his soul out.
I don't know.
And he ended up like,
he started to speak like,
oh, with that account,
we sold like a Bourdabe or something like that.
But then he said,
Well, maybe you'll give some money to kids' charity and send me a screenshot and I'll give it back to you.
So, well, why not giving money to kids' charity?
And he actually gave me my password back.
And that's why I did my like two-step authentication and everything that was needed to do from the very first.
point and that's that the story when actually the community is behind it's not necessary
Gary Vee but you know when you have all of those connections that you can't lose even if you
lose your account if you even if your wallet got hacked
As for the wallet, it got hacked.
They drained the NFTs from it.
And you know, one of the communities, they wrote me like, why are you like,
why are you dropping our floor?
And I was like, no, it's not me.
And they said, well, we saw it below the floor.
So we bought it and they actually returned it back to me.
So that's the community support.
They send those back to me to my wallet, a couple of NFTs that were drained.
So it's amazing, you know, what we got here in spaces.
It's not only, like, it's so much more than, I don't know,
there are so many beautiful people behind those,
and those connections are the most important things that I gained here
when I joined Twitter.
So thank you for letting me tell you this story.
Hope you enjoyed it.
That's amazing.
Thank you.
That is so cool.
I'm always struck by the community here, and I know people talk about this a lot,
but I always sort of apply the thinking to music subcultures.
There's obviously been so many over the years,
whether it's, I don't know, punk or grunge or so many hip-hop subcultures in the US as well.
And I always have this feeling like Web 3 is this subculture that's going to spill out into the mainstream
and just break out big one day.
So I think that's a really cool part that you just highlighted there,
and it just makes me a lot stronger in that belief.
You know what's so amazing about that, Mark, is her enthusiasm throughout that process.
And even today, it's not like, you know, traumatizing to you or whatever.
You're just laughing through the entire story.
It's quite entertaining, actually.
Like, wow.
And look at you.
Almost at 20K.
Let's fucking go.
Well, what?
They can't take the main thing that I already got, whether with this account or with another account, those connections, those, I don't know, memories, they can't take it from us.
Even if they like close Twitter at all, we will find another place to meet, right?
And we'll find each other there.
So there's no way they're going to make anything that can hurt us that much as far as we are all together.
That's it.
They can't break you.
They can't stop you.
They can't prohibit what eBobber is about to do in the world of Web 2, Web 3 and beyond.
We out here.
It's always absolute fire.
It's really refreshing to hear somebody with that much fucking, like, enthusiasm and drive to.
Thank you for that.
I just want to encourage everyone to pay attention to whatever good happens in your life
and not focus on bad things because there are always bad things happening.
But if you focus on positive, on good, on happiness...
you will become happier yourself and you will gain more because like stressing out is so unproductive focus on your main goals and keep on going.
Disasters happen. It's just a given. But whenever you stand up and keep on walking, you'll make it.
So amazing. Shea, how are you feeling?
Oh, I'm feeling good.
Do we want to keep going?
Absolutely.
We've still not heard from Mr. Brian much.
Do you want to play a song?
Who else wanted to play a song?
Yeah, Mr. Brian, I'd love to hear more from you.
What's going on?
Yes, that would be a pleasure. Good evening once again to you or maybe those who didn't hear from me yet.
And yes, I have a song coming up with Benny. This is titled Ocean.
Also, today we are swimming in the ocean if it's not been in here yet.
I think, Darius, we need the ocean.
Oh dear, but we are actually doing something, you know, good with this song, you know, we are donating.
It will be available as music and FTA, right, and then all fans will be donated to the Oceanic Society.
So I'll pin a tweet concerning the song up.
I won't play the full song now. Don't get it twisted. I want you to...
to join in on May 5th and then to be out on May 5th that's I think like about a week or two away from now
I need to be I need to get up with my calendar because you know there's no time in Web theory right now
but yes let me paint this up and guys you can go check out
more information on it and if you want to resonate with some of my music out there right now
mood is out right now so you can go add that to your playlist give that a listen and let me know
if you love it but this is ocean
that's why we chose yeah mr brine
Don't leave your trash in the open

Cleanliness is nestleness is why we chose it
And you see that we got motion
Don't leave your trash in the open
Got a length,
controlling cleanliness,
that's why we chose it.
And you see that we got motion,
moving out of the state,

so we know it's not in vain,
yeah, down by the ocean,
I'm sipping on champagne
with my team,
and a circus small,
I know you can relate,
Don't leave your trash in the open.
Hey, gotta learn to control it.
Cleanliness is next to gulliness.
That's why we chosen, chosen.
And you see that we got motion moving out this day, yeah,

down by the ocean
I'm sipping on champagne

Coming soon on May 5th
You know we are doing this
And to be going back towards
You know ocean life conservation
And support the course
So let's keep it growing
Tap in if you have any questions
If you want to collab
You don't want to work together
I'm always down
But yeah not to talk too much
Back to me
Man, why you do us like that with that teaser, man?
Why you do it?
You everybody did, awesome?
Yo, here this with the Acapella, awesome.
That was crazy.
That was so good.
I love that the song's about ocean conservation as well.
We're all about that at Ocean 4.
I mean, we're still in the startup era of our business.
But one day, that's going to be a massive goal for us is to have environmental and social impact on the world.
And I think...
If we were to work with the environment, it would be on ocean conservation.
So, yeah, maybe the wells are colliding today with that song just being released and whatnot.
So thank you so much for sharing.
That was great.
You're most welcome, dear.
And for everyone in here, you know, thanks so much for giving me the spots to come share, to shine.
And, you know, this, bro, who knows?
This is just the beginning, right?
And this is actually something big.
And the world.
Who knows where this might take me?
The artist can take me out of the country.
You can be doing shows, doing big stuff.
So, you know, just stay tuned.
That was powerful, Mr. Brian.
We really appreciate your fam.
Yo, hang out on stage, man.
Vibe with us, chill with us.
Retweet the space if you're enjoying what you hear.
Yo, the ocean, man.
We cleaning up the ocean out here.
Cleaning us next to godliness.
You already know.
A godliness.
Ocean floor, Shea.
Who do you want to go to next?
I do have Triple T queued up.
Yeah, let's do it.
Should we?
We've got a hand up.
These challenging names are really coming at me today.
New level CD.
New level CD.
I think that's how you said.
I'm on a new level.
The pronunciation is actually new level records, but you just could call me new level.
It's new level records, but you just call me new level.
Appreciate it.
How's going there, Ocean, Florida, Darius, Mark Conway.
What's up, Rocky, too, Grimy?
I was in your room the other day having a ball.
That was a great experience there.
I just wanted to play a track or two, maybe if y'all like my stuff there.
All right, we can put you in a rotation.
We're going to run with Triple T.
And then who we got next, Shay?
Whoever, who else wants to go?
Rocky, do you want to play a song as well?
Or West Ghost as well?
Rocky, we got West Ghost.
This is a song off of our newest album that just dropped about four days ago called Beyond the Stars.
And that's on every streaming platform.
And tell them what the title of it is, Triple T.
Yeah, it's called drugs.
Why did you go with that title there, Triple T?
Because we were suffering with being drug addicts for a long time,
and now we've cut out everything in our lives that cost too much money
or is taking up time that is needed for us to focus on getting our music bigger.
But yeah, a lot of our content is, you know, we talk about drugs a lot.
So, you know, if that's something people don't want to hear, I apologize.
This is drugs, y'all, triple three.
TTT, let's go.
Drugs, they're needed.
Raps, we succeeded someone by Jesus.
They need us
My name is a disaster
I was wrecked from the start
A fucked up head is really what I got
No wonder I'm a junkie
Who life is smell rock
Girl with a cock like why should I stop
Drop a sheet of assing while I'm gunning at a cop
Learning from my problems like bubble pop
Eat a gram of Molly, then I lose a brain I got.
A gun in my mouth like, why should I swap?
For some pills that you said you were glad that you bought.
I don't know, grow fucking rub my G-scot.
It might be the last time that I get hot.
A trash nightmare is really what I've brought.
This might be the last chance that your girl's got.
Ride this motherfucker till the wheels fall off.
A double barrel shotty that is a sod off
Loaded up gun with some fucking rock salt
Stop talking bitch, I don't care what you thought
I don't want to suffer cause the brain I got sought
Imsy got your pocket and give me what you got
Roll up a slip and I throw this good pot
Punk out a bitch, because fuck them all pop
But now fucking stop on the mic I just dropped
I told you motherfuckers that I hate a cock-lock
Disaster is ready with a new song drop
They're needed reps we succeeded
Someone like Jesus
Rapants they needed
I just popped a candy, I just popped
Popped a Molly.
I just popped a sherry.
I just popped an Ollie.
I'm a main girl and we're fucking Polly.
Go stuff from Target.
Hope that no ensang.
Police are just a gang.
Police are just an army.
They're looking at my skin to.
They analyze my body.
Fuck the able body black male cisgender.
Truth gets brighter as the page gets thinner.
They do fried chicken is all we have for dinner.
I prefer history style.
On a sinner
Really I would rather eat steak thick and tender
Everyone surprised that I'm really transgender
Parents think I'm trash and a loser and a sinner
Soon I'll be raking in mills be a winner
I'm gonna leave the nest
It's time to fucking fly
Fuck all the haters, they can all die
Smoke a lot of weed, my mouth is too dry
I'd be on my knees screaming to the sky
I'm clenching my fists.
I'm about to be sick.
How the fuck of life throw me all this shit.
I'm losing my mind.
I'm losing control.
I'm digging roaches at my fucking cereal bowl.
Took a cold shower, walked to school in the snow.
Drugs, they're needed.
We succeeded.
Someone like Jesus.
They need us
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's TTT 33
Coming out of Portland, Oregon
We're on Twitter and Instagram is trans rap duo
Keeping it real 100% of the time
You know what it is
Family is everything.
Sorry about that.
That was amazing.
About to get some ads in here, y'all.
Retweet the space.
Thank you.
Yeah, we record, mix, and master all of that stuff right here in our little studios.
appreciate the nice comments there that was really cool thank you so much for sharing thanks for
jumping up oh yeah no problem we've been uh actually just started joining spaces like maybe a week or two
ago so like we've been like meeting a lot of cool people and like thankful that like
That there's such a cool music community out here on Twitter.
You know, what was your favorite line in that one?
Because I heard something about like the cereal bowl.
I heard the rotisserie chicken line, you know.
Music is a drug, baby.
Was that line in there somewhere?
Yeah, that was my half.
This is a space set, yeah.
Awesome, with the hand.
Yeah, I said, I'm a fiend for the beat.
I hear for the bass.
on a spinner, I'd rather
stay sick and gender.
Yeah, that was hilarious.
Yeah, I just wanted to recommend them, not recommend them, but I wanted to commend them for their authenticity in telling their truth and their music.
That was very refreshing and that was like fire.
It was, like I said, it was authentic.
Like the whole thing was authentic.
And I'm like, yo, is that what Portland sounds like?
Like, that's this kind of lit.
Like, it's lit.
No, Portland does not sound like that.
We have our own unique style, and that's what I think is going to help us get to where we're trying to get to.
Yeah, and it's kind of a thing where we're trying to stimulate the rap scene here in Portland.
Like we're a recording studio, like, you know, we record other people too here, just to try to like get more people involved in rap here.
And we're also about to start a Cypher night.
I wish everybody in this room was in Portland so that they could come to Cypher night because like we're trying to bring that back and have a battle night too.
and just try to make spaces available for this type of art to be made and performed and stuff
because there's not enough of it in Portland really.
Well, not only that, we also are, we're a cheap studio.
We are sliding scales starting at $20 an hour
and we'll help people find a beat that they can use, monetize,
and make money off of a profit for free, you know, and mix and mastering.
And we offer a lot.
And, like, we helped make a logo for the last guy that was here.
And, like, you know, just...
We're just trying to spread the love and make things happen here in Portland
because it's just not really popping here.
Well, that is awesome.
You guys in...
I love it. It's sick to hear that you guys are just out there trying to help people start off.
Because sometimes that's all it takes is to find people that are giving you that little push
or find people doing the same thing that you want to get into to actually start something.
So yeah, that's awesome.
Yeah, yeah. I mean, I wouldn't have gotten as far as I've gotten so far if it wasn't for other people doing that for me earlier in my life. So now it feels like it feels really good to give back, you know.
Absolutely. I'm not sure how much longer we'll hold this space for maybe another 10 minutes or so.
Because, you know, this team's got to get back to work, unfortunately.
We can hang out here all day.
Hey, yo, we got Rocky.
We got West Goes.
We'll run HG's track with myself called Season.
Rocky, you queued up and ready to blast off.
Yo, yeah, man, I'm here.
Darius, I'm going to let you pick what I do right now, man, because you know, I never know what I'm going to do.
You want album Rocky or you want mixtape Rocky?
I got to hear that grimy version.
You know, that last time you sent that YouTube link?
Yeah, what did I send you last?
I think...
It was a hip hop.
You was just throwing bars out, man.
Oh, I think you're talking about that, that was that, that was that violent ass track.
I mean, because they got to get the work.
So, you know, they need something to work to and just destroy everything in their way, you know?
I'll feel you, man.
I wasn't even, I wasn't even going to go in that direction.
But since you asked for it, I'll pull that one up.
Give me one second.
I got to, you know, the catalog is so damn long.
I got to go through this record.
Yo, yo, there's like, can you like, which one should I play, Darius?
Darius, like, yo, play the one where you wiling.
You whaling on that one.
Play that one.
You know, Darius be on Kong season mode all the time, man.
Yeah, I wasn't going to play this.
I don't typically play this record, but Darius asks for it.
This is the intro to an album I did in, like...
2008. So I can't
remember, man. But
it's called break them down.
What the fuck?
Man, this ain't no motion picture shit.
Oh, hold up.
This is a little more like it.

Oh, thank you.

It's working out, Roxy
I was, um, I was actually, um, scaring myself listening to that.
Yo, it's like, oh, I don't know.
It's been a while.
I don't, that's like, um, that's like 16, 17 year old me right there.
I was, I was wilding back in the day.
You had the right.
Hey, you, you fucking, how you introduced yourself to the crowd.
Yeah, how you introduce yourself to the crowd, like you were to a live crowd,
and they introduced you as an alien, and then you ended your last verse with the alien voice was dope.
It was really, really well put together, but that was a good song, man.
I was fucking jamming the whole time, how you switched the cadence in the beginning.
You were snapping, son.
I hear what Darius is talking about, like in the beginning how you started snapping.
I was like, oh, shit.
And like from then on, you had me.
And then you ended it with the alien voice.
That shit was dope, son, for real.
Sometimes you gotta go to the punching bag up.
You know what I'm saying?
Sometimes you don't want to hit the treadmill.
You want to go strut it up.
Just slugging, you know, throwing some weights around.
That's what that is.
Man, thank you.
You know, and Darius has heard, you know, quite a bit of my stuff.
So, you know, I had to give him what he wanted today.
But I appreciate y'all.
I appreciate the kind words.
Yeah, man, that's that shit is so old.
Man, I got so much fucking music.
I'd be forgetting, like,
man, appreciate your Rocky.
You know he's got a space at the ocean floor.
Shea, I think we got West Ghost.
West, you're still there.
I know my man, new level.
What's up, West?
What's up, what's up?
It's about that time, huh?
Play something?
What she got, Wes?
Man, you know, I was going to play haunted house, but I'm like, I'm torn.
I'm like, I could bust out something live on the keys, bust out something live on guitar.
What do you guys feel?
Yeah, live.
You got to go what you're feeling right now.
All right.
All right.
I'll rock this one.
This is not the song that I put out today, but it's a vibe.
This is a song called Science.
Lately all the voices told me I should get some hope, but the problem isn't me.
It's just everybody else.
All the fake friends hate them.
That's why I never make them.
No snakes in my garden.
I beg you your pardon, but please excuse me if I'm late to the party.
Forever that kid in class always been tardy, but I'm still a genius.
Might call me a smarty.
I'm skipping the subject.
I'm not saying sorry, no.
So right if it's black and white.
Sometimes it's just a color of life
And nothing can still be a sign if I open my eyes
To the right kind
It's so mad if it's not a line
Sometimes it's just a roll of the dice
And nothing can still be a sign
If I open my eyes
At the right time
Maybe I should get my hair cut and clean up all these split ends.
Maybe I should get my eyes check.
I think I need a new lens.
I'm trimming off the body fat.
I think I need a juice cleanse.
These comments on my timeline are always such a new sense.
Well, I'm sick of the likes.
Stuck on the screen.
I edit my mind just to say what I mean.
I'm sick of the like.
I'm sick of these memes, I'll see you online, but is that really me?
It's so bright if it's black and white, because sometimes it's just the color of life.
Nothing can still be a sign if open my eyes at the right time
So bright if it's not a line
Sometimes it's just a roll in it takes
Nothing can still be a sign if open my eyes
To the right kind
Lately all the voices tell me I should get some help but the problem is in me it's just everybody else now
Whoa that was crazy like that gave me some uh chance the rapper vibes a little bit which is like he's one of my faves so
Hey, thank you so much.
Thank you.
Thank you.
That's, yeah.
Shut down these stadiums, fam.
This is crazy.
I can't wait, man.
I love it.
You know, like, man, that's the beautiful thing.
And like I said, I can only speak for myself, but I love music so much.
And that's why I love the spaces like this where people are sharing art.
I'll keep it brief.
But that's why I love spaces like this where people share art because there's so many dope things.
unique, talented people and people who have a really good expressing their authenticity.
Every single song I heard in the space is super dope.
And it's funny because I feel like my music ability reflects what my life has been like.
And also like the reason why I started West Coast is like, I'm a mixed race kid.
Like I said it in my spaces earlier, but like I grew up in the hood, St. Louis, my dad's Jamaica,
and my mom's white.
And like I equally loved.
like punk and alternative music
as well as I loved hip hop and as well as I loved pop and all these different genres.
And that's the cool thing about growing up in the time that we're in.
It's like you can discover so many music across so many decades that I don't like boxing myself in.
So that's why I was like, man, I could play the track I just dropped or I could bust it out on some folk shit on the guitar or I could play on my soulful shit on piano.
It's like which person do I want to be right now, you know?
But it's all from the same source I think, which is it's therapy for me.
So like, and that's what I pick up in a lot of this music.
It's like it's such a cool art form to express like our personalities and our perspectives.
And the beautiful part about it is when we put them out there, people take what they,
people connect to it in a completely different way sometimes and what we even thought.
So that's why I like to really not box myself in.
And I like messing around with different genres and like breaking it down sometimes and tripping it down.
It's because, you know, you never know what somebody's going to connect with.
And I just love writing music at the end of the day.
I don't care what labels on it.
I like to break genres.
Fuck a genre, you know.
But thank you so much for letting me share.
I love you guys.
You already know.
Thank you.
And I did just want to shout out for Trudy because Trudy is one of our colleagues here and she's fan-gurling hard and she wanted me to tell you that she loves you.
So there you go.
Well up, Trudy.
Number one.
What up, Trudy, cutie.
Oh, she'll be melting.
You get your tickets right now for the fuck the genre tour, man.
Coming soon.
Man, we're about to tear this shit up West Coast.
That was crazy.
Yo, I know New Love wanted to go do something.
KRP, we're going to say hi to you.
We're going to run season.
We're out of here.
What do you all?
How do y'all feel about that?
Trudy trying to come to the stage, man.
I need somebody to sacrifice.
Who's sacrificing?
KRP, what's up?
How are you feeling today?
Bro, there is, it's a bright morning for me over here.
It's the medium in the morning over here in India.
I'm just, I got up and saw you guys live.
I had to get on the space.
A bunch of good people here.
Dadius here, there.
West Coast is here.
Rocky is here.
And, of course, ocean flow.
I actually stepped last and late last night.
I'm just stuttering because I just had like four hours of sleep.
I was working on a song and I was looking for one instrument in that song.
And when I found it at three in the morning, right?
2.30 in the morning.
And it took me half an hour to put down the melody.
But as musicians, Darius, Rocky, West Coast, you all know how it is to look for that fucking one instrument.
So it was a duk, it's a middle-eastern instrument, and I just sent the song at 3 in the morning.
But what's up guys? But hey, I wanted to throw my flowers, offer my flowers, such a stupid word throw.
To Wes, honestly, I just heard you live.
Much respect to you as an artist.
Much, much respect to you.
And I heard Hotted House this morning.
I woke up, and that's the first thing I heard.
Insane song.
Dude, did you just play the keyboard live right now?
I wanted to know.
Yeah, yeah, that was live.
Bro, much respect, man.
You're one talented, homie, dude.
I was just listening.
for some reason it just reminded me of this artist called Jake.
I don't know if you've heard of Jake with a A reversed.
He spells a JV-K-E.
He did this song, Golden Hour.
And so the way you were playing the piano,
it just reminded me of the way he plays.
It was very, very smooth, Wes.
Much respect to you, dude.
Seen the way you've been moving in the space.
Because I know Darius, I've been, you know, following Darius for a bit as well.
But West Coast, I have a lot to learn with you, brother.
Yeah, I just want to say that.
Appreciate you, fam.
You already know, man.
And I can't wait to connect with you.
You know, it's been a little crazy.
Just setting up the mint, but I can't wait to link up and hear what you're working on.
But thank you for the love, fam.
Yeah, man, we need to talk to because I just, because I've been seeing you killing it in the AKCB party as well.
I'm from India, so I can't make it to these parties that you guys vibe in, rock and
Is this another world away?
I am doing one project with Shiba Sequoia Forest, Andrew.
He's not here in the space, but that may enable me to come to the US, but I don't know.
It's a far shot.
But I hope to get on a call with US, just to bounce off with you ideas.
Yeah, ma'am.
That's what I want to say.
Appreciate you, KRP tapping in.
My man, stay busy out here.
Shoot him a follow.
Turning, you know what he ain't gone.
He's out here networking, making moves.
Trudy on the stage.
How you feeling, Trudy?
Oh my gosh, I can't.
I literally feel like I've just wrestled my way onto the stage,
but luckily there's no bounces to snatch me back.
So, yeah, I just, Shay knows they're sort of on our laptops talking to each other,
and I'm fangirling massively over West Coast.
And when I saw you were in the face.
I was excited because I heard your song the last time and it resonated with me and just your whole vibe.
So, yeah, hilarious.
Shea, thanks for throwing me under the bus.
But I love the music.
I think your voice is just incredible.
I don't want to compare you to people, but I get like, yeah, I get.
a whole bunch of everything and it does so much to me. So yeah, just again, I'm fan-girling. Thanks,
guys. Thank you. I mean, you've got me smile. I appreciate that. It's, it's really beautiful.
And, you know, I think that's like the, the dopest part is like, you know, I've been doing music for so long and nothing makes me,
Like, nothing makes me feel better.
Like, there's no amount of, like, stats or, like, awards or plaques or streams or mints or
whatever that would make me feel as good as knowing that my music, it makes somebody
feel something and they connect with it.
So you have no idea, like, I can hear the authenticity when you say that, that it just
makes my heart feel so good.
Just knowing that you resonate with my music.
Because that's, you know, a ghost just wants to feel seen.
Nobody sees a ghost, right?
So that's how I've been feeling lately.
It's just like, I'm just so grateful.
I'm so, like, I'm so, I feel so blessed that I, you know,
obviously it took some work, but I was like, you know, born with the gift.
Like I taught myself how to play every instrument and like I produce my own music.
And it's tough being an artist.
A lot of my family is always just like, you know, like it seems like the easiest job of the world.
I'm like, yeah, like if you have thick skin, because there's a lot of nose and there's a lot of people that don't vibe with you.
And especially when you're on your way up and you're trying to figure out who you are and you're trying things out.
So nothing makes me feel more fulfilled than to know your vibe and with this.
I appreciate you, Trudy.
No, we got to stay in touch.
And thank you for the love for real.
Yo, Wes goes, I got a wild video concept for you found.
But Trudy, as a fan, when you come back, you got to know every lyric to every song, my man's put out, all right, for the culture.
But, Wes, yo, so have you thought about this?
Because you just said, you know, people can't see a ghost or the ghost wants to be seen.
So like the horror flick, like you were in the space, something about the horror films earlier.
So that you have a friend, right?
But nobody can see them, right?
And somebody comes in a room.
Who are you talking to?
And they look around.
There's no one there, right?
My friend.
And then throughout this video, they don't see you, but they begin to fill you throughout the song, throughout the video.
So slowly, like you start to appear.
You know what I'm just the concept.
You already know where I'm going with it.
So it's scary, but it's friendly and it's amazing.
Like, what?
They were afraid.
That's why they didn't see you.
So now they're not afraid.
They're walking in love now.
Now it's easy to see you.
Yo, you just gave me...
I love that.
You just made my mind...
Bro, you made my mind explode because...
You know, I was telling people earlier on my mint spaces that...
I've been talking to a creative director and like we're actually talking about possibly, you know, because I went to, I actually went to college. I dropped out. I don't recommend dropping out. But I went to college for film and theater and acting. And I haven't done it in so long. I've done, I did two short films last year or whatever, but I want to like create a, uh,
like a series kind of like Atlanta or like there's a funny one on FX called Dave that's about a little dicky
but like something along those lines where it's like a story about an artist like West Coast something like that
but you gave me an idea of like building up to that because that's gonna that's like future goals
something that I want to work toward but like dude doing like a Halloween like
like a short like little short films that I can drop during seasons so like that's was a sick
idea for like around Halloween like doing something that's kind of scary but kind of like dope and just
you know this is the storyline for it bro I love it we got to tap in on it let's go it's so
expensive bro let's go deep meaning though right that's crazy what's up trudy
Yeah, I love that meaning behind it because I'm very spiritual myself.
And I feel like as a collective, we are sort of all getting to a higher consciousness and, you know, allowing and understanding that there is more than what we see as like humans on earth.
And I think there's a really cool message in that as well to that like progression.
And, you know, if you lead with love and you give back and that sort of brings you to a higher consciousness.
So yeah, I think that's really cool.
Yes. Oh, so dope. I love it. The space is fire. Let's go.
I did want to ask you, because obviously you've got that video on your Twitter with The Haunted House.
So I wanted to ask you what your storytelling is and like if you can just tell everyone a little bit more about that.
Yeah, yeah. So that's really, I'll try and, I tend to be long with it. So I'll try and be brief.
But, you know, before I started dropping the music, I wanted to, um,
I wanted to take the IP of my character and create animations that I could tell pieces of my story.
And they kind of all work together like chapters of a book almost.
And so far, you know, there's been 10 parts of it.
And I've kind of alluded to a few of the songs that are going to be coming up and
you know, like scored them and like did voiceovers for them and everything.
And it's basically just like things like I journal a bunch and I also meditate like a lot and stuff like that.
And I'm completely sober.
Like I don't drink alcohol.
I don't smoke.
I used to a bunch.
But so I try to get into a new routine of just like,
You know, being super creative and creating this music is one thing, but like having like a vision is a whole separate thing.
So I try to like write things down.
And oftentimes before I would make a lot of this music, I would journal in the morning and I'd write my thoughts down.
Just like something would pop in my head.
Like it's so funny that two people played a song called Ocean because my next song is actually a song.
feature in Sammy Arayaga, who's prominent in this bass with music NFTs, and it's
a song called Ocean.
And that morning I woke up and wrote some stuff down where I was just like, you know,
I feel like we're all just drops in an ocean, like, you know, like waiting for like, you
you know, like holding the ships to fucking,
you know, I was just like some esoteric,
like you would think I was high when I wrote it.
And then I got inspired and I made the song, Ocean,
and I produced it kind of around that thought.
And then when it comes toward the storytelling aspect of it,
That kind of gives me a jump off point.
It's one of my, I think, I forget which chapter it is, but it's one of my animations.
It's a whole thread at the top of my page.
It's pinned.
But I had this vision of like West Coast, like the animated version of me, like sitting
in this boat in the middle of an ocean and just kind of like, there's a ghost flying
around him and he's just sitting in a boat with nobody around, like, talking about, like,
how big the ocean is and how easy it is to feel like.
like life will just drown you up.
And it starts with just an idea like that.
And then, you know, I've kind of met a bunch of animators and stuff like that and I'll
hit them up and I'll like, yo, like, here's my idea and they'll work on it and we'll
kind of work on it together.
So it's been really cool.
It's been a really cool part of the process.
And I think something that I wanted to establish as well.
is like I don't want my project to be purely like just animated or just focused on like this one animated character.
Like I want to embody it myself.
So I go around to events and I wear this mask and, you know, it's allowed me to like tap into a whole different side of like aesthetically what I look like when I do shows and all that stuff.
So I am like actually going to be.
when my first music video I'm shooting in June is for a song, a couple songs from now.
And it's half animated and half me in real life.
And it kind of like blends both of the worlds together.
So I think, yeah, it's been a really fun process to just like dig into another side of
the creativity.
And I've been doing music for so long, but I never had visions like that.
Like I've co-directed videos of mine before and like they've been performance-based.
So like there's a storyline and I'm performing for most of them.
with this side of everything and like telling the stories.
And the stories are simple.
I mean, to me, they're simple.
They're just, they're basic parts of the human condition
that I don't really talk about.
Like feeling completely alone or feeling like super depressed or like
having anxieties or like, what does it mean to like live forever?
Like nobody can live forever, but like, you know, art can live forever.
And like all these like deep thoughts that I have that I don't, I haven't traditionally
written about because up until I started West Coast, I was
You know, I was just writing about like relationships and breakups and like, you know, like stuff shit with my family or whatever.
And this was an opportunity for me to like dive into my personal story, but not have it be too personal where it's like it's me at the end of the day.
It's like it's it's kind of this give and take between me and this.
entity I created as West Coast that allows me to be fearless to tell those parts of the
story and kind of dive into those thoughts that are like not so pleasant.
I view it like this.
We post something on Instagram and it's usually something positive, right?
And you'd be super depressing if every time you go on Instagram you're seeing all the sad
And not to say that West Coast is just sad music or whatever like that, but I want to like
show, I want to peel back the veil and just show like a more vulnerable side of myself.
And I think a big component of that is like the stories that I tell visually aside from the music.
Because when somebody listens to a song, they're going to take what they want.
But when somebody sees what's out of my head visually, you know, then they can resonate with the song, but they can see what I intended as well.
So yeah, I hope that answered it, but it's a lot of fun.
I'm just having fun, man.
Wow, insane.
Just having fun out here, man. Sheesh.
Yo, appreciate you, West, man.
Love everything you're doing out here.
Never stop, bro.
I know you never will, because that's just who you are, Pam.
Walking in the vein and the frequency of love, man.
It exudes through you and everything you do, bro.
Love media and IRL every fucking time.
That's why I had to jump on the track.
I felt the love through the track.
The shit is crazy.
People keep asking me when it's coming out.
I say tap into West.
West's a busy guy, man.
He'll go get to it, man.
Bro, you got to play that down because that's the whole side.
They don't even know about it.
I snap on some bars.
You snapped on that, bro.
You got to spin that.
Thank you, bro.
Oh, man, they keep it.
Yo, yo, yo, what is that?
What is dropping?
What does dropping?
I said, West got a job.
A few more things first.
And West go get to it.
It's okay.
Hang tight.
That's all I can tell them, man.
But New level, how you feeling?
Doing good.
Enjoying the moon.
Enjoying the vibe here.
All right.
You got one for the culture, and then we can run something.
And then we up out of here.
I actually got 14.
I'm just debating on which one I'll play.
I'll go ahead and play this one.
This song, I wrote and recorded.
It's been a little bit over 20 years since I wrote and recorded this song.

What else we got fam
I think Triple T
was saying something
Oh, I was just saying that made me want to dance around, you know, a party.
Yeah, my music is dance music.
They're great dance music.
Darius, do you mind if I play a song as well?
Is that okay?
But I, yeah.
It depends on how long my co-hosts have time to be here because I'm going to run two of them.
I'm going to run West Coast, our Supreme Beast mix of the Beast mode, and I'm going to run HG.
So that would be three checks.
We good with that.
Shea, Mark.
Yep, that's all good.
And then we're going to have to wrap it up.
But all good.
We're kind of starting work in the background.
But, yeah, we don't want this space to end either.
It's so good.
So, yeah, keep playing the tunes for sure.
All right, rock out KRP, and then we'll close it out with two of these tracks.
Thanks, Arias.
But my request it, I have an Android.
I don't have a setup to play a recorded song.
Just my humble request to you.
It'll keep my DM me in the background to play it for me, please.
Is that okay?
Let's have a look.
Where's the DM?
Just one second, girl.
I'm just sending you to you right now.
I have this android which is like it just doesn't play music man.
Just sending you to your brother.
Yeah, I just sent it appreciative man.
Darius, why don't you play your tunes first,
then we'll run KRP towards the end.
All right.
And, K.R., do you have another link? Do you have like a SoundCloud, YouTube link, something like that, Dropbox, Google Drive?
Yeah, I have. Yeah, but I have a SoundCloud, yeah.
All right, let's get the SoundCloud, fam.

I'm a little more
Yo, that was so.
Darius, is that you and West go together?
Man, that was two crazy people on a track together, West Coast, Mr. Darius,
tearing down the stage for all the Web 3, homie.
The Ocean Full Music group chat would just go on nuts.
The team were loving it.
Bro, that was insane, man.
Real quick, dude, when do you guys work on this together, Darius?
Well, it was actually a surprise from my man Wentz Ghost because I heard it once during an AKCB space.
I think it was a late night, like Love Louis kind of space or something like that.
And I was like, yo, what is that?
And they directed me toward the SoundCloud.
I heard it there and I was able to grab it, extend the extra beat on the end of it, flip it, and throw his hook back on there after my verse.
And I'm like, yo, I saw him, got a track.
I was DM in West while I was doing it.
Like, I'm like, yo, I got something.
And I didn't know he would like, you know, even give me like, you know, some artist
they don't want, you know, you to jump on their shit.
You know what I'm saying?
I was like, I just got to do this.
And I'm going to just send it over and see what happened.
But I said, instead of me sending it over, let me just play it live.
So I waited until there was West in the space, crad, rafts be, Machiavelli,
because I mentioned Machiavelli in the song and a few other piece.
And everybody was in the space at the exact same time.
It was like the perfect moment.
Bang, we just blew that thing up.
And it was like, what?
Bro, what's the name of this song?
I want to scream it back later on.
Where can I find it?
I want to listen to it properly on my speakers.
Well, that particular version isn't out yet.
West Ghost has it, but his original version is titled Beast Mode.
So the original track from West Ghost, and then I jumped on it, and it's still Beast Mode,
but we just call it the Supreme Mix or whatever we want to call it because, you know,
I'm a Supreme Kong and, you know, other communities or whatever.
A lot of Kongs are in Beast anyway, so we can call it whatever we want.
But right now we call it a vibe, man.
So that's this Web3 collaboration at his finest.
you know, live in the spaces, emails, DMs, you know, that's how we do it out here, you know?
Absolutely.
Yeah, man.
So, yeah, people loving that.
We're going to have to shut that down for a live ocean floor music festival or something like that, man.
Fly out the Australian and just break the internet, fam.
Yo, y'all ready for this next one?
You know, in a heartbeat.
You're ready for this next one.
This is Seasoned by H.G.
And myself, the same way this was made.
Well, this is actually like,
HG, I see you in the audience.
You want to come up real quick.
HG, he's another Kong.
We were in the space,
and he's heard my music before.
He's like, yo, I got something for you I need you to work on.
And my man loves EDM.
I love EDM as well.
And I wasn't even expecting that,
but he shot me over an EDM track.
And I heard his spill on it,
and I put my spin on him.
We just combined, you know, skills.
And we made one track.
And we call it Seasoned.
for Kong season because that's what we shout out when we say, you know, when we wrap the Supreme Kong, it's all about season.
So that's what you see in the jumbo there.
We got an open additional manifold.
0.007 for the culture.
And that's my man's first music NFT drop and we released it on his birthday.
No, we actually completed the track on his birthday, but we dropped it on Earth Day.
So Kong season, released on Earth Day.
We wanted to align everything like that.
So it has an amazing story.
So shout out to you, HG.
We're about to run this for you at the top.
We ready, people.
Get your dancing shoes on.

No, but that was amazing, dude.

I thought it was DJ Sype's song all this while.
You know what?
I can definitely spin it, though.
I mean, you know, you want to spend that at your next festival.
Run it up.

It was really amazing, that it.

Amazing song.

Yeah, Darius, I sent you the soundflurling, brother.

I appreciate you guys for invite me to the platform.
This was an amazing, legendary space.

Especially big shout out to Ocean Floor, Darius Mark,
for hosting the space.
It was amazing, a room full of...
next level talent indeed and i look forward to doing it again in the future thank you so much
for joining it's been a pleasure and we're sorry we didn't get around to everyone too much it's

Something?
I was just saying bye.
Okay, okay, okay.
And Sammy, you know what?
Maybe you can run us out with a quick Acapulah after this.
There we go, KRP.
Memories from KRP.
From light years away,
the sun's gone away.
Morning's high.
There's a bracelet of memories,
times that you spent.
Time by the water,
it taught you to swim.
Squibbles on the wall,
now on the blockchain,
these are the times of your life.
What would I do?
Day that you leave.
Oh God, I try to put the memories.
They're my mother.
Fight a thousand years.
All I'd have.
These memories, time that you spend, time by the water your dad taught you to swim,
scribbles on the wall, now on the blockchain, these are the times of your life,
don't let's
and my heart
and my mind
KRP was not messing around on that one fan
Thank you, thank you, Darius. Thank you so much, ma.
But Darius, dude, I wanted to say the track you played, I really love it.
Season, it's just amazing, man.
I actually want to mint it. I was just looking at the price, it's affordable as well.
Really, it was, when you were playing it, I swear to God, I thought it was another artist.
Like, DJ Cype was in the house, so I didn't hear it.
But when you said it after playing it, it's your track, I was like, blown away.
Seriously, man, I just wanted to say that. Flowers Seel.
Thank you so much, you know.
I mean, we definitely wanted it to be a track that, you know,
DJs can take to their festivals and to their events and really, you know,
blend it easily.
You know what I'm saying?
It can compete with any big room, you know, any big progressive house, any trance sound,
you know what I'm saying?
But still be like an idiom anthem out of Web 3.
So like it's never been done that way before by a Web 3 artist to just,
go crazy on an EDM track like that.
You have established EDM artists dropping NFTs,
but this is one of the first like this to be done just by like strictly Web3 artists, you know.
And it's actually my first EDM music NFT and it's HG's first music NFT, period.
So it has that historical value attached to it as well.
No, absolutely, dude. I was just, yeah, absolutely. I was looking up AG as well. I haven't seen the person before. I'm guessing you kind of brought him into NFTs, music NFTs and the whole ecosystem. But insane, man. I really loved the way the bass was hitting and I just love the track overall. I just really loved it.
He's right there in the audience. You see that big gorilla with the yellow hat on? That's
HG right there.
Yo, AG, how's you, brother? Well, I hope you're not shy.
But I'd love to say hiding before the space runs.
But much respect to you, Angie.
Descending, yeah, much respect.
It's late where he is now. He's over in Portugal. So yeah, it's like what over there?
Four or five?
Oh, yeah, it must be late. Yeah, four or five. Oh, my God.
But yeah, he's in here showing love, represent.
Appreciate you, KRP.
For sure, much more to where that's coming from.
So if you do mint that, you know, feel free to tweet it out so we can run up to love on it, man.
Definitely get that out for you.
Absolutely, absolutely, brother.
Appreciate you.
Anybody else minting that out, please tag us, tweet it.
If you're not minting or maybe you want a minute later on, if you could like it, retweet it, you know, it goes a long way.
We got Sammy on stage.
You go run us out with an a cappella vibe.
I'd be happy to you.
Vulnerable attack.
Pity that fancy laughs.
And door words whispered with the promise of tax.
We'll sing together a symphony of a must.
Muse over symphonic lust.
The Linton shelters sideled by.
a familiar rust inspired being won't you little at a time with phrases that don't fit or rhyme speak your harmony that precludes us as divine
and i don't know my story yet neither do you all in good nothing to settee is still a leader
Negative space is just a commotion
We've been taught to fear
Still I didn't hear with my own two ears
That leaves my eye of tears
In this linear place
With my almost heel
Still headspace
Follow me slowly
Meander past the bramble that would tear a stoic status quo.
Who was that?
Sammy in a building show.
She's always shutting it down.
You don't need no music, no beat, no nothing.
Just straight voice, baby.
Yo, love it.
Every time.
Thank you.
Really love it, Sammy.
Wonderful voice.
I really love what you sound.
Thank you for sharing that.
Hey, I wanted to mention that I loved your track too.
That was really, really powerful vocals.
So gorgeous.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
It's just that, thanks, Sammy.
Yeah, I produce as well.
I'm a musician from India.
I produced a track.
I sang on the track as well.
It's just that I would love to sing it live.
I do an acoustic as well, but I have an Android so the mind doesn't capture it.
It doesn't do it justice.
And when I hold the phone on the laptop, it just doesn't pick up the song properly.
But I really appreciate your kind of words, Sammy.
Yeah, I really appreciate that.
Yeah, thank you.
We got all this talent up in here, Ocean Floor.
How are you feeling right now?
Oh, it's been an insane space.
I'm just like in awe right now.
I'm speaking from the whole team by,
on behalf of the whole team, by the way.
We just are blown away by these spaces every week.
So I just...
We might wrap it up soon.
If there's anyone else that would like to share anything or talk about, you know, their story about NFTs,
feel free to jump on the mic.
But I just wanted to say thank you so much to all of our guest speakers that took the time to join today.
I know that it's gone for two and a half hours.
So to take that time out of your day to share with us just means the world to all of us,
but it's just a reminder of us.
You know, every week when we host these of how good this space is and how authentic the people are that come in this NFT world are.
So, yeah, it's honestly the most wholesome event of the week for us.
So thank you again.
And, yeah, Rocky, please.
Hey, y'all, I'm back.
I had stepped away.
And honestly, I thought the space was over.
Because I remember y'all was saying I was going to wrap it up in like 10 minutes.
So I came back and I'm like, oh, shit, this shit is still going.
And I was down to the listener.
So I was like, let me come back up one because I didn't want to want it to end without saying goodbye or anything like that.
And also, I got one more if y'all want to hear it.
Yeah, why don't you send us out?
So after your song, I'll let you say thanks and bye,
and then we'll probably wrap it up there,
but I'd love to hear another song from you.
Does anyone else have anything to say before we wrap up?
Do you want to say bye or anything like that?
No, just want to say real quick, Shay.
I did not know that you were on the handle to say.
I just wanted to say hi.
I think it's afternoon for you.
Which part of the Australia are you turning from?
I just wanted to say good afternoon to you.
Yeah, it's 1130 here.
We're on the West Coast, so we're three-hour difference from the East Coast.
So, yeah, we're still in the AM as of now.
But, yeah, things are going well.
Usually I am as Shay Hand when Mark's on ocean floor, but yeah, we're just trying out.
me hosting as Mark's had some rug, rug issues in fast, but I think it's gone smoothly now.
But yeah, more than happy to rep for Ocean Floor.
I love talking to everyone.
And I mean, we'd be nothing without Darius.
I just want to say, thank you so much Darius for always jumping in and hosting.
You bring the energy every time, like we can always count on you for bringing a laugh.
And those sounds are just iconic.
But the whole team loves you.
Like every time you join, they're like, yeah, Darius is back.
So thank you.
And also, actually on that, we've let Darius on a little bit of a secret about our business as well.
So he's on the inside now, Darius.
He's one of the freaks, he's in with the freaks over in here in Australia.
So it's pretty cool to have him a part of the team, Sammy.
So, yeah, but thanks, Darius.
We love you.
I love you too.
Love being in that kangaroo pouch, man.
Out here for the jungle.
Appreciate it.
Yo, Ocean floor has got something cooking up for y'all that, yeah.
I don't know if they're ready, Mark.
I don't know if they're ready, Shay.
But, hey, y'all going to have to get ready, man.
Buckle up.
We've got something massive coming.
We're super high up to announce it.
We've got a couple hands up.
We'll throw to them quickly and then we'll play it out.
Phoenix, jumping quick.
Yeah, what's up, Mr. Darius?
How are you doing?
What's up?
Yes, it's true.
Yeah, been a while, Darius.
So I followed Sammy here and just wanted to say hi and then give some short freestyle.
You know what I'm saying?
I think it came in a little late.
Rocky, I see you.
Yeah, this.
What's up?
So I just wanted to give a freestyle some few seconds.
And, you know, I'm just, you know, chill out.
So if y'all gonna have it, I could start it.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, why not?
Go for it.
And then we'll go for you, Rocky.
So I'm gonna do this like a palis style.
All right.
So I came from my heart, I'm pouring out deep here.
Started from the bottom, but top was so clear.
Came from the passion of rap but still fared.
I'm the phoenix, all the lyrics I did.
I secured now I grew to rap guy.
Statist I came for this and I heart.
A little battle, but still pull up that sword.
Every time I walk, I feel it inside.
I'm passionate.
Relate with the world that I've seen.
Came from everything that I love indeed.
Music was the blood, and now I came on tea.
I'm stopping this now until I'm like you my feet
I'd be rapping love and love be rapping me
If you want to know the hate I gave you a cup you seed
Planting out more emotions still I can't be
Man I never did enough but I don't like greed
Learn from my mistakes and still become wise
Life like a journey still I'm gonna end
If I die now I die a happy artist
Cause I gave my heart to this now I just love this
Every moment that I pour around
It's a feeling
That I want it deep inside
They're not just chilling
Pop up in the space
And still made them just feel it
If you heard me laugh
In times and never stop this
People that heard me rap
Because I did emotion
Motions that I came deep
If you understand
This probably throw me a laxie or follow
Because I honor the sake
That they give me
Thank you.
You know Phoenix
Love that on news
That's on news
That was brilliant.
Yofini's they have a freestyle,
a cipher session space that just started right now.
You want to go over there and swing some more, fan.
Hey, that's it.
You know, I love freestyle, bro.
Yeah, but I got a touch with Sammy.
I got some little, you know, conversation with Sammy.
I'm going to tap in once I'm down with that.
I always appreciate it.
Never stop.
Keep going.
Keep pressing that pin.
Real quick shout out of Rocky in the house.
Rocky would have for me.
Rocky would close us out with something.
Eibaba with the ham.
Yeah, I just wanted to say thank you so much.
Ocean floor and there is and Mark.
And everyone who came up to the stage and made this space so special.
Thank you so, so much.
It was such a pleasure to being around you.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for joining.
We loved your enthusiasm and your beautiful spirit is just contagious.
So thank you.
And congratulations again on landing that spot in Russia's Art Week.
That's still incredible.
You're amazing.
Thank you.
Thank you, Sammy.
Thank you so much.
All right.
Should we let Rocky take it away?
Let's go, Rock.
Let's go Rocky.
I'm here, bet.
All right, so we're going to close this tonight out.
You know what I'm saying?
It's great to be here with y'all.
Oh, Shay, are we following each other from your actual page?
Because, you know, I'm following so many people from the team, and I'm not even sure.
But if I'm not following you, follow me there and let me know it's you so I can follow you back, please.
Okay, I will do. Thank you.
No problem.
But yeah, this is, you know, it got pretty aggressive earlier
because Darius, beyond his Kong season, shit.
So I want to give y'all just a little different representation
and give y'all the single that I've been promoting
since January is one of my favorite songs that I've done,
and it has, um,
Chantelle has vocals from Chantelle like the end of it.
So this is my single, it's called Don't Talk to Me.
Guy Rocky, he probably passed out, you know what I'm saying?
He's been dying for Chantel to hear his song.
Then he's, I'm guessing his phone died.
You know what I'm saying?
So I'm going to hear about that.
Hopefully it'll be sober Rocky
because I damn sure don't want old drunk Rocky, you know,
coming at me with his old crazy ass, man.
You know what I'm saying?
Fuck is you talking about.
All that numberling and shit.
Don't talk to me
Usually I don't give a fuck
Now I don't give a fuck more
I've been dealing with slut hulls
Put me in a uproar
I'm back in this my state
Like when I was 18 so disrespectful
Y'all people wanna hate me
I used to give a fuck
Now I give a fuck less
I'm coming for success
I dealt with too much stress
I dealt with too much death
Wish I could bring back Delhi
Cancer could kill me
I'm mad that I'm back healthy
Dickin' about my ex
how I let her use me
Get me all the press
Turn me to anew me
Forget about who I am
She almost made me lose me
Only thing good she ever gave me
With that cool
She can't forget about that dope
But on another note
I manifest my life
I'm never going back to broke
I keep a clown NFT
I will never be a joke
I didn't quit smoking weed
But I'm still with all the smoke
thing I wrote a lyric that I spit there's something you could quote I always had this gifts
and I don't mean the glow but we have to admit that nigga I'm a goat fuck you think this is
man I'm done with all that hope forget about a wish it's like the only thing I know it's spitting bars and writing hits it's like the only thing I know is how to give it to your chicken if I don't know no
I know that I'm already rich.
I've been working on my mind, focus on my spirit.
Chantelle says she knows some real music when she hear it.
I tell her that I'm grateful and what would be the odds.
I'm not even in the space.
She comparing me to nod.
Man, I made my whole year back in 2020.
Now it's 2023 and I'm making bigger moves.
Now I'm getting more streams.
Now I'm getting more views.
I've been drinking more water.
I've been drinking less booze.
I mean, I still take a shot every now and that low.
So I got this, but like, I got this by like, oh, for me.
I'm going.
I'm gonna take a sipping at me.
Don't talk to me.
I don't hear nothing y'all gotta say.
Shit speaks for a sip.
Like the world can, like, not.
Not on my watch. Nobody's on this.
Yo, I swear, Rocky, you gotta tell the situation, man.
Are you and Nas related, man?
I was just like, holy, this given
a, like, noz or rents money to me.
I was like,
Like this talent is like a different level of what the hell is going on
I really do not have words right now I can't be all related for real like it's a gene that y'all share
like it's something going on something going on
I love that song so good
Bro, that was so smooth, Rocky.
I spread a god, it was really smooth.
I've heard on Spotify as well, Rocky.
I've heard on Spotify as well.
Because I was when we met, I was like, you know, just the usual going through a person's link tree and link in bio.
So I heard a song through that.
Really loved it when I heard it, man.
Yeah, man.
Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate it. Like, it's definitely, um, it's definitely one of my favorite songs. Like, it's up there. It's definitely up there. I appreciate y'all. For real.
Rocky, that crescendo at the very end when Chantelle's speaking, that's absolutely my favorite part. That was a genius move. Beautiful.
It was, it was so not even planned. It just, it really just organically happened that way.
Um, but I love it too. And my engineer is a fucking beast. Um, I literally just like gave him, uh, the recording from the space. It wasn't like already chopped up or whatever. I just literally like gave him the whole entire, um, like audio and I was just like, do something with this. And, um, we listened to some of the stuff and he just put that shit together and it just worked perfectly. So, yeah.
Um, yeah, thank you. Thank you so much.
I always appreciate you rock.
Always appreciate every single one of you pulling up to the ocean floor cafe where music
NFTs are for the win.
We are out here.
Yo, any last words, Mark?
Any last words?
She just want to say thank you.
Everyone's been one of our best places ever.
So many great tunes.
We are here every week at this same time.
So please join us whenever plays your tracks and come chat.
Thank you.
Hey, shout out to you, Mark.
Ben and Win, I hope you doing well, man.
Thank you.
Great to hear for you.
Thanks for jumping up.
Of course, brother.
See, everyone.
I'm ending this right now.
But as we all say, keep supporting each other and follow everyone in the space as well.
Thank you again.
