There\u2019s a disparity between genres in Web3 music. While hip-hop and electronic (and, to a much lesser extent, pop) undoubtedly dominate the space, each seems to exist in its own microcosm. Considering the technological dependency of electronic music, it makes sense that the genre has easily found a foothold in Web3, but what about the others?<\/p>\n
Hip-hop may be the most genuine reflection of the NFT space. We\u2019re not talking about mainstream rap\/hip-hop, though. While on the one hand, superstar electronic DJs like 3LAU, Dillon Francis, and Steve Aoki have solidified their lasting names in Web3, frontrunners of the hip-hop scene have been relatively few and far between.<\/p>\n
Snoop Dogg, Timbaland, and a handful of others seem to be here to stay. Still, it can\u2019t be ignored that countless stars, like Lil Uzi Vert, Trippie Redd, A$AP Rocky, and so many more have become involved in NFTs just to turn around and almost immediately pull their names (and profits) out of the ecosystem. All things considered, how is hip-hop supposed to flourish in Web3?<\/p>\n
The grassroots nature of blockchain tech has helped hip-hop achieve a rather steady base in Web3. While numerous industry leaders have become involved in the pop and electronic sectors of Web3 music, erecting their own unique platforms and developing virtual artists, hip-hop has remained a genre helmed almost solely by digitally-native creators within the NFT community.<\/p>\n
