Hey Hivers!
Today we want to start a discussion about the NFT craze. Back in 2018 we had first started to explore the option of using NFTs as a way to create something special for our fans and ultimately cut out all of the middle men who are constantly dipping into our pocket. There are some old articles we had written on Steemit that had begun to explore that possibility, but what we found was that most of our fanbase was far too unsophisticated to have any interest at the time.
Here we are in 2021, and the NFT craze has begun. We are starting to see artists like Kings of Leon announce that they will be releasing NFT albums, and has us thinking, is it finally time to create an NFT project? You see, last year we composed an entirely new Story Album centered around a Cosmic Journey. We would have released it by now, but we're also working with an animation team to bring the stories to life. The past month has seen a lot of early ideas about how we could best integrate our new project into the Crypto space, hopefully motivating members of our current fanbase to onboard here on Hive and other chains, as well as to have an impact within the community here at large.

So HIVE, we pose a question to you here, How can we best build a kind of "Label" Strategy for the release of our next album? Are there cool examples or artists you've seen that are doing something similar? We're looking for inspiration AND the possibility of finding partners to work with to help us manage such a project.
Let's start a discussion! We are open to all suggestions and would love to build a really interesting strategy that can be used as a model for future Musical Releases in the space.
