‘This track is about the financial opportunities available through these emerging Web 3 platforms’ explains Producer C-Sol. ‘Being that this is the debut Music NFT release from Peso’s Beatery, we wanted to do something special in support of the track. We set the price of the Music NFT really low to make sure it’s accessible to everyone. We want people to get involved and have fun with this. We set up the $Near prizes to incentivize people to get onboard with crypto currency, with the Near protocol and Peso’s Beatery. We’re going to drop a Music NFT every couple months and plan to follow the same formula, low prices and lots of giveaways. We hope to appeal to those that are interested in learning about investing in NFTs but haven’t yet found a way in.’

He also shouts out his musical brethren who are currently working hard, establishing infrastructure and staking claims in this newly emerging landscape.
