I’ve always had a big vision for my music. I was the underdog, nobody wanted me to be an artist. I started making music for fun, and found success with it. When major labels called, we got sold a dream (1/10)
After going on an independent tour, selling over a million records, and releasing a follow up Single for the agreement, I was still not well funded. I went back to college to finish my finance degree. I took off a year, so it was a choice: lose my scholarship, or finish (2/10)
It was at that time in 2016 that I got interested in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and crypto. I remember I had $10K with a financial advisor. He “advised” about how crypto was too risky. I told him to sell everything & close my account. I put my savings into ETH. I never looked back (3/10)
I learned that crypto is the path to financial freedom. I told everyone. I did a study for Tulane. Most friends didnt listen or sold short term. A friend told me “Dyl…you have to make more music”. He was right. I didn’t have the same passion for crypto as I did for music. (4/10)
It was 2018-2019 when I began to combine my two passions. I had this idea for a crypto rap album, and the perfect name... #CryptoRich
I knew I could use my music to help people learn about financial freedom. Even at my startup, our goal was to help others using blockchain(5/10)
With this debut album I believe I’ve created a masterpiece. In 2019, it was the only crypto themed album out there. When I released the Deluxe in 2020, it became the top crypto album. With 19 original crypto songs, the album is on the way to OG status. (6/10)
But remember. The vision is bigger than the music. I provide a hip hop experience that helps my audience see the future.
#CryptoRich is about freedom. It’s independently distributed, published and owned by me. I preach financial and creative freedom for artists. (7/10)
I knew about NFTs for years. When they finally blew up in late 2020, I was ready for the opportunity. I had the perfect fit, the OG album about crypto. It was always an idea to sell my music for crypto, but I didnt know exactly how. I realized NFTs were the missing piece. (8/10)
To create a collective of forward thinking individuals who share the goal of empowering society with financial and creative freedom. We use crypto, NFTs, and web 3 tech to make this possible.
The vision is massive. (9/10)
Music truly reaches everyone.
It’s not just the artists. It’s casual listeners. It’s fans. It’s friends and family. If I was an inspiration, then I’ve done my part. My collectors & mission are my top priority. It’s just me, my supporters & our art. Let’s get #CryptoRich 💰 10/10

I’ve been a music artist for nearly 10 years. I started with a Blue Yeti mic & my laptop when we recorded the JB song. We had no idea what was coming when we put it on Soundcloud. It was one of the first indie songs to blow up online…

Being 19 at the time, I was sold a dream and ended up taking a major label deal. We got screwed in the process, but I learned a lot. That deal took me from Philly to some of the best studios in entire world, out in LA. I realized that the labels don’t… 2/23
have a “secret sauce” - they sign artists for the low & “see what sticks”.
Enter crypto. After touring, I had a little money saved up (not much) which I put into Ethereum and Bitcoin after Cus Paq told me about smart contracts. I already knew about crypto… 3/23
