🚨 New platform launch alert 🚨

Welcome RCRDSHP, the music NFT platform leading a revolution in the traditional music space 🎼

The music industry only shares 12% of its revenue with musicians! Artists must tour and market themselves via social media in order to stay relevant. Add to that a global pandemic shutting down all concert venues, and many musicians are struggling to survive. Radical change is on the way.

RCRDSHP aims to fix all of that with a new paradigm of music distribution and ownership: limited editions, scarcity through NFT's, and peer-to-peer transactions.

👉 Join the EDM revolution today: rcrdshp.com/
