"Put Em Up" is the very first Music NFT released by CREANS and is an absolute searing EDM festival banger! The cover art is new original work from ANGRY TENO.
Inspired by the art, community and vibe that CREANS found in the NFT project ANGRY APES SOCIETY, he set his mind to craft something that was both an anthem celebrating the art that ANGRY TENO had created but also was about the community who grew from it. The lyrics are reflect that experience as well from things like about celebrating life:
"From the front to the back --
Where you at --
Put Em Up Put Em Up!!"
..and then the lyrics also speak to how community is created, the friendships made and fellowship thats created between IRL/web2 life and the emerging web3 space:
"Cos the world that we're livin in --
kinda hard to be fittin in --
so they made it just for you and me ---
Angry Ape Society!"
In order to bring this whole vision to life, CREANS wanted to elevate both the music and the art to the same top-tier level. He wanted the art to be something people would WANT to collect so that meant he needed to partner up with someone truly great. This is where the magic and wonder of a perfect collaboration comes in. CREANS and ANGRY TENO knew each other through the AAS project and started having conversations about how to make the art contain the same freshness & energy that the song did, but also still be part of the Angry Apes Society's universe and lore.
For CREANS, he wanted the artwork to not resemble a traditional album cover and instead be an actual collectible limited-edition NFT! In addition he also wanted the "Golden Egg" cover to be a completely different Angry Apes NFT, a true 1-of-1 Legendary Grail, raising the bar even higher for the collectors who love the exceptional art from ANGRY TENO and music from CREANS.
