- when should me and @jadynviolet.lens drop this one 👀👀👀👀
- Golden Hour (lyric video)
“Golden Hour”, the first single from my forthcoming EP “Play This At Sunset” is now live on @decentxyz.lens (subscribe to collect)
If you’ve been on the same planet as I have, then I’m certain that times have been rough for you as well in some way.
I hope that this song can serve as encouragement for us both, to pull ourselves up.
I released this song as a crowd fund going to help me make it to my artist residency at @creatorcabins.lens and the support has been amazing.
I am going to make good on all of the support and love I’ve been shown by going as hard as possible starting with pushing this song and message to as many people as I can.

- Peace loved ones... I hope all is well. I've been a little absent but for good reason. I think taking time to yourself to decompress and reset is imperative to good health as well as to creating the best art and that what I've been doing. All to come back with much more to share. Peace to the tribe. Stay tuned because I've got something for you all this week.
- Lately I've been experimenting with new sounds 🎶
This is my first ever attempt at making a dance track - a moment in AL3C history on-chain 🕺

- Future Surf was built on community, collaboration and the common goal of advancing culture. "JumpRope" is a living breathing example of exactly that.
The song is a collaborative effort by the founders of @FutureSurfRadio, @CamMurdoch, Scolla Fungwe & June Jissle as well as Future Surf family and fellow creatives, @MilesRyanHarris & Ashton Woods. To celebrate the 100th episode of FSR, we made plans to drop a song commemorating such a momentous occasion and it only made sense that we should do it while being together face-to-face in Colorado for ETH Denver. Although June couldn't make the trip, he set the foundation with this amazing Afro-Caribbean influenced production and myself, Miles & Cam laced the vocals before sending the session to Woods to bring it all home. As a proud child of immigrant parents from Cameroon, this is a big moment for me to put something like this out into the world. We couldn't be more proud as a community and I can only hope you will enjoy this as much as we did creating it.
The full song is available to mint in an open edition as a part of the Reveel x Decent.xyz Creators Grant. This grant closes on 3/13. (313 is my angel number). Every mint = 1 vote and the top three songs get to split the grant between creatives. (You can mint as many editions as you like.) Winning this grant will accelerate our plans for a Future Surf Creative Camp! We want to scale this process to include as many artists from our community as possible!
Support is not just monetary so if you can listen to and share this then you've done more than would ever ask of you.
Enjoy.
With Love,
Scolla

- Yesterday the open edition for my new self-produced single, "War Games" went live on sound.xyz and I held a space to explain the release and celebrate with all of the people have been supporting me along this journey. Simultaneously I released my first Art Collection on Zora and I made it a free mint for anyone attended the space. 50 editions were collected before I could refresh the page. It completely left my mind to make sure that I extended the invitation to all of your here in my Lens family and I feel horrible about that so I have a version of the art exclusive to you all. Thank you for showing up for me!
With Love

"Oxytocin" (with @glasstempo.lens)
Wednesday 02/15 @ 8pm ET
This is my most vulnerable track to date y’all…there's no drums, just bass, piano, and my vocals. Writing this song was a therapy session. It reflects on the natural state of man, existing in cyclical patterns, searching for a prolonged state of bliss.
This song has had a beautiful journey. @glasstempo.lens and I started this work during a web3 music camp called Headless Chaos in spring 2022. It was originally pitched as one of the main 45 songs in the Chaos collection but was passed on. Some folks in Chaos heard our demo & were inspired to make an "alchemy" version, remixing our original samples. You can find the alchemy version @ chaos.build under the same name, “Oxytocin” feat. Conor Dalton, Frances Miller, Violetta Hyland & Deadwalker.
@glasstempo and I reconnected outside of Headless Chaos and decided to release this song independently. This is the raw essence of “Oxytocin”. I hope you listen and that it strikes a chord within you.

"The sunflower that grew from concrete"
Web3 continues to reinforce to me that vulnerability Is strength. In my family, in my community, in my social circle, I've always been the big brother and the strong friend. I used to say it was the role that chose me. It became a large party of my identity and survival mechanism. Moving through life being hyper aware and the solution-based problem solver for yourself and others while keeping your own needs silent becomes a constant tax. I've realized that pouring from an empty cup is a counterproductive practice and downright unhealthy. In the past few years (and more specifically during my time traversing Web3) I've learned that I'm much more valuable to my community when I can operate full vessel and with the support of those around me. I'm better learning that people will show up for me when I allow them to.
Many don't know that I've been a full-time independent creative since 2009 and managing a collective simultaneously. From graphic design to visual editing, consulting, producing & recording music. My computer has been a critical tool in my creative process and unfortunately, it's on its last leg and I am in desperate need of a new one. This is why I am launching this open edition mint for "War Games", with a goal of raising 1.9 ETH to fund the purchase of a new system with the specs that will be able to handle my current and future work load. By minting "War Games", you will not only be owning a piece of my of story told through art, but also enabling me to continue to bring my creative vision to life for the foreseeable future.
I will be airdropping a special token called "The SunFlower That Grew" to the top 10 collectors of "War Games". The artwork for the token is an ode to the story behind the song and 'its a collaboration between myself & the incredibly talented, @saikochildxyz who did the 3D Work!
"War Games" is ode to resilience and finding strength even while in the face of adversity. As a child my mother always used to tell me that I was covered by the higher power and that I am the sunflower that grew. At the darkest times I’ve found my way back to the light.
"My ancestors got me covered they do I’m well protected my blessings stay true I’m too connected I really can’t lose No I can’t lose No I can’t lose"
I hope that this energy resonates with you.
I brought the blick to the blockchain! lol
- The pre-sale for my very first open edition on sound.xyz is live now.
“War Games”
The Mint officially goes public this Friday. I’ll be posting sharing why this song and open edition is so important to me im another post
- Positive vibrations. ✨
- I don't typically win contests but I'm still down to try (Life lesson somewhere in there). I'm glad I have that attitude because I finally won something lol. Much love to @alchemychains @MeepMerpPatches & @doodles for this sticker and patch! These are clean!
- 1/ Oohlala just got a facelift! Check out some of our new features that enhance the Music NFT experience for both artists and collectors.👇🧵

- What Up World!
Here's my newest single to my latest tape of beats "Digital Nomad"! As you can see by the artwork, this song is inspired by space films like 2001 A Space Odyssey and Interstellar, and the metaverse. Its a soundtrack to a space traveler, chilling in their ship. Its for those idle moments in life where you can enjoy tranquility, as i'm sure alot of people really need these days. So, escape for 2 mintues and unwind to "Views From The Window".

- Wow ORB is 🔥🔥🔥Very clean UI/UX
- To say I'm a newly onboarded @beatsapp.lens artist! I released an exclusive song called "Night Skies" that might just become your new favorite!
Big love to all of the other artists who minted today! @karmavioletta.lens @dragaan.lens @flavdotio.lens
- As creatives (especially musicians) too often we create art that never ends up seeing the light of day. I'm more guilty of this than most. I made a pact with myself to quit this disservice to my art and to my fans cold turkey and give the world all these things that I "moved on from" for whatever reason that might be. I recently came across a demo from 2012 that I lost the session files. From second one I was immediately brought back to where I was at that time and right then I knew that this song needed to see the light of day. "Night Skies (Demo)" is a romantic ballad produced by my homie Louis G and myself. There's a comfort and love found staring into the gaze of your loved one that is truly unmatched. The song represents that special connection between two people and the joy of finding love in the present moment. This is that moment when soul meets soul. We’ve gotten away from that these days and I hope this song re-centers the conversation around love and expressing that love.

- This song is about a musical tale across the Eastern Hemisphere. We want to take you on a meditative journey to distant lands of the ancient future, using audio, organic instruments & a few vocal samples, like the 'Om' that you’ll hear throughout 🔊
This song was recorded in our home studio in Miami, FL & it came together rather quickly, due to a flow state experience. Later on, we added a guitar riff that Karma recorded live. We hope you love it as much as we do!
- Straight vibes @scolla.lens
- NFTs are making it possible for me to move back to Detroit and build this school/incubator space. I don't have the words to express the level of gratitude I've been experiencing coming into this new year. I'm seeing #VibeHaus the whole way thru.
- Many know me as a musician but I have a long tenure as a visual artist & graphic designer. 20 years in to be precise. I've always had mixed feelings about AI art but I found that looking at it as a tool in my arsenal and using it right along with my other tooIs allows for me to create things that I can truly be proud of.
I'd like to share a peace called "The Journey" that I created as a visual representation of my life.
I used midjourney and photoshop to put this together.
- Look like my mama and she beautiful...
as seen on Before They Expire Vol. 1
https://opensea.io/collection/before-they-expire
- It really feels like I'm just one song away
- Before you get on the internet and complain ask your self two things…”What is the outcome I’m hoping for from doing this?” and ”Will this change my/the situation?”
- Today will be love. Today has been love. You are loved.
- I'm excited to be stepping into the future with @lens.protocol
