Decentralized music is artists hosting their own work and getting supported directly by the people who listen. Clipped a moment from my convo with @DuhLaurien ✌🏻👽💨 + a sample from her track with John Fletcher “Lady of the Evening”. The full episode goes into the history, the current state, and what the future of the DeMu space can be.

Musicians shouldn’t have to give up control to publish their work. @ChadF and 33 others shows how Music Side Project 2.0 lets artists self‑host, own their data, and plug into value‑for‑value with RSS + Lightning + Nostr.

Hip hop used to be a whole spectrum: EPMD, Rakim, KRS‑One, Run‑DMC, LL Cool J, Public Enemy, Stetsasonic. Nobody sounded the same. (Not unlike many independent artists producing decentralized music in the V4V movement today). Jak Da Mak breaks down that shift in this clip and we go deeper in the full episode. The moment the culture disconnected, and why the roots still matter.

New Rollz Radio episode — this one with @Alex Nicol from @Strange Love Sharing a quick clip where Alex breaks down the simplest onramp for musicians stepping into RSS + V4V. Platforms like Wavlake and Fountain make it easy: Upload. Publish. Earn. In the full episode, he also breaks down the path for the fully self-hosted approach with XML generation platforms like @Music Side Project and Indiesats. No friction, no gatekeepers. Just music moving over open protocols.

“I bomb atomically Socrates' philosophies and hypotheses can't define how I be dropping these mockeries” - #InspectahDeck #WuTangClan at Madison Square Garden tonight.

@DuhLaurien ✌🏻👽💨 So I recorded the next episode of my podcast Rollz Radio (I talk to musicians about their music and life while discussing V4V). This guest is an entrepreneur and has a basic understanding of Bitcoin, but he’s not familiar with Nostr. He wants to put his music on Spotify and all the other platforms for maximum distribution. I meant to tell him about #HomegrownHits. What else can I tell independent artists like him about decentralized music distribution?
