In celebration of BAPES'TM recent momentum and excitement about its upcoming NFT launch, Bella Albanese, a San Diego, CA resident, singer, songwriter, producer, and BAPESCLANTM community member, has written a song, "Vibe With The Tribe," to show her love and support of the BAPESTM NFT Project.

Led by BAPESTM Ambassadors (25 Business Apes that have attached themselves to this project), including legendary music and entertainment industry figures such as Andrew Fromm, Charlie Walk, Larry Namer, and Stefan Schulz, as well as BAPESTM founding partner, Brian J. Esposito, BAPESTM was able to move into the music industry with the necessary tools, technology, access, experience, and speed to properly release "Vibe With The Tribe" for a global release February 18, 2022, with the appropriate smart contracts to accurately collect the songs' earnings.
Surround's TM team and the vision of their upcoming platform and blockchain operating system also made it possible to add value to all the BAPES METAFUND #1 NFT holders.
Minus any admin or publishing management-related cost, the song catalog earnings can now be shared back with all the BAPESTM Metafund #1 NFT holders in some capacity. In addition, BAPESTM METAFUND #1 NFT holders will have exclusive access to future shows, content, and experiences related to Bella Albanese and/or BAPESCLANTM Records productions.
"The most fascinating thing about the future of music is that it gives hope to people. This form of expression has always brought people together, and through all the amazing new music that is created, we can properly use it to make a positive impact on this Earth and transform different regions." said singer-songwriter Bella Albanese.

Music creators are finding wonderful new ways to not only create pieces of content but also gain mass momentum thanks to platforms such as TikTok and Triller.
Properly pairing a user-generated video with the right song or lyric that is then shared on the social platform(s) completely transforms its ability to go viral and make an impact. Also, with technologies and services such as SongSecure, content creators can easily protect and copyright their IP via their proprietary blockchain technology.
"I wanted to inspire the BAPESCLANTM community as my goal has always been to unify people through music while making people feel as if they are part of a tribe. By aligning with this movement that is transpiring, I felt such a strong calling to help motivate others to come to be part of it as well. My goal with my music has always been to help others and to be part of something bigger than myself. That's why I wanted to use the proceeds from this song to go to the BAPESTM NFT holders, as well as give everyone ownership that we can all benefit from," added Albanese.
SurroundTM plans to offer an open, secure, auditable, and highly scalable platform for all music industry stakeholders, powering data consistency, interoperability, data monetization, and innovation for all.
"Music not only outnumbers most other IP categories but also is by far the most relevant asset class when it comes to cross vertical integration, speed of distribution, and audience activity.
Through audio streaming, live, games, radio, film, TV, advertising, and in public places, you name it, music continues to play a vital role in our society, both offline and online. It is inevitable that music becomes a key driver of web3 economics, playing a crucial role in the metaverse," said Stefan Schulz, BAPES Ambassador and CEO of Bitfury Surround GmbH.
"To give one an idea of the sheer power of music distribution and consumption, a global music icon can release a piece of content into all the current music distribution channels, and within 72 hours have a billion touchpoints across the planet. This is yet another great time in history for creators to be inspired, seen, build audiences, attract new technologies and mediums for engagement, but most importantly, find other channels where they can help monetize their passions without having to give up on their dreams.
With Bella Albanese, and her dedication to shared ownership, the BAPESCLANTM community is setting an early sign that we understand the needs and dynamics of the creator economy, NFTs and DAOS, if applied legitimately, will open completely new spheres of sustainable economic growth for artists, industry stakeholders and consumers globally.
We are still early stage, and a strong, competent transition of legacy businesses, regulations as well as the Web3 / ai / Metaverse community with their massively disruptive collaborative forces at the benefit of the creators, is of the essence to overcome the current first NFT wave of opportunists and snake-oil salesmen.
The BAPESCLANTM is perfectly positioned to combine these two worlds for the greater good, activating innovative business and investment solutions at granular levels all over the world. I am proud to be part of the BAPESTM community and enjoy working with Bella Albanese to give our movement some strong momentum as well as BAPESTM NFT holders more value every day," added Schulz.
BAPESTM, a new viral global NFT project, has taken the world by storm. Since quietly launching in January 2022, founding partners Erik Lydecker, Brian J. Esposito, Brian Brue, Moe Zahria, and NFL New Orleans's Saints player Cam Jordan have set out on a vision to give the NFT market something it desperately needs -- true utility, amazing artwork, shared ownership in IP such as music, and the support and access from legendary business ambassadors made up of the brightest minds from around the world. This impressive group includes notable names such as David Meltzer (Co-founder of Sports 1 Marketing), Larry Namer (Co-Founder E! TV), Ali Bouhouch (Former CTO of Sephora), Dr. Marc O Griofa (NASA NEEMO Aquanaut), Stephnyie Malik (CEO of SMALIK Enterprises), Sarah Dandashy (Iconic Travel Expert), Christian Giordano (President Mancini Duffy Architects), Charlie Walk (American Music Executive & Entrepreneur), Bob Richards (Founder at Artemis Music & Space Executive), and many more amazing, seasoned professionals.
BAPESTM has been providing glimpses to the community of its artwork and designs by best in breed designers and animators that have worked for companies such as Pixar, 21st Century Fox, Disney, and the Dubai-based legendary NFT artist Shaikh Danial.
Being a rare BAPESTM NFT Holder, which is set to drop February 22, 2022, you'll have exclusive access, privileges, metawards, metadends, and real-life, as well as metaverse, experiences that no other NFT project has offered, or presently can offer, and now with the release of "Vibe With The Tribe," all the lucky 10,000 BAPESTM METAFUND #1 will own a piece of music as well as being involved in this movement.
"For over 10 years, I have been honored to be involved in the wonderful business of music. I have always been passionately connected to helping unknown artists break, as there is just so much talent out there, that just don't have the resources or know the right people. I've launched bands, invented and developed technologies, produced music, written music, humbled to have worked with the heads of some amazing labels, managers, publishers, artists, promoters, songwriters, engineers, and executives from around the world, but my favorite part of the process are these two things -- being in the studio and creating something from nothing with exceptionally brilliant and passionate creators, and secondly, building and utilizing technology (such as Turncoin's VirtualStaX - www.VirtualStaX.com ) in a brand new way to get distribution, awareness, engagement, monetization, and break a song or artist.
I am thrilled to follow those passions, now with the extremely talented Bella Albanese, this powerful song, and announcing this new way of ownership and access for the public to be involved in the music industry. I believe this will create a unique reward mechanism for all BAPESTM METAFUND #1 NFT holders," said Brian J. Esposito, CEO and Founder Esposito Intellectual Enterprises / Founding Partner BAPESTM and BAPESCLANTM.
BAPESTM spent $0 on marketing and advertising to date, nor have they utilized any star power or influencers to create awareness. The entire movement, and acceptances, from BAPESCLANTM community members located around the world, have been 100% organic and genuine.
The BAPESTM NFT movement has become a global phenomenon, which is why BAPESTM decided this month to use this movement for something good and launched Valentine's Day Inspired #BAPES143 project. 143 harkens back to the beeper days where one could quickly say "I Love You". Do something nice for someone, lend a hand at a cause or organization, and/or donate to a favorite charity while documenting one's wonderful work. Send videos to 143project@bapes.xyz, and 143 amazing people will be chosen for a highly coveted whitelist spot.
However, remain cautious. Due to the high energy, growth, excitement, and engagement of this NFT project, fake BAPESTM or BAPESCLANTM listings have begun to pop up. These are not official and are not affiliated with this real project. These scammers are out there trying to steal money from the loyal and growing number of community members. BAPESTM has not yet released the official NFT drop, so please be sure to triple check all information, do not purchase any fake BAPESTM NFTs, and make sure you are getting your information only and directly from the official BAPESTM channels.
