We got through the holidays together and we are now back to celebrate the New Year AND the launch of ShrugLife NFT's here @ 4Thangs! Special guest, artist and hip hop head Chris B. Murray stops through to hang out with GM (host of 4Thangs) and talk about his new project CBM FAMALAM & a whole group of other topics including some Knicks/BBall talk & the who's who of who Chris has had the chance to work with out here in the hip hop world.

We'll be back again soon but I'd definitely recommend checking out ShrugLife.xyz and grabbing a shrug so you can hang out with the team in VR & make sure you're looking out for the NEW 4Thangs VR Adventures coming soon!!

4Thangs Podcast has been in the NFT space for the past 6 months putting in work all across the board. Now it's time to throw our name in and sign up for some fun! "ShrugLife NFT's" are here and we have the MervMob's own Perplexx here to celebrate the launch of ShrugLife NFT's as well as talk about what he's been up to with his own project, The MervMob!

Listen to GM explain some of the burn mechanics to the ShrugLife collection as well as why the kid in Gremlins is basically the worst pet owner of all time.

Go grab a Shrug @ ShrugLife.xyz and go follow Perplexx (who's also one of the artists in the ShrugLife NFT Collection!) on Twitter @PerplexThreads and we'll teach you how to shrug.

Another episode soon! Peace!

"Shrug Life NFTs" are launching soon and GM is joined by fellow Shrug Life OG Catfish to talk about the history of Shrug Life, some details about the upcoming project (Roadmap? Discord?) & Why GM sees this as a no brainer for both new comers to the NFT scene AND self proclaimed community leaders.

4Thangs is an audio platform that has helped give a voice to creatives for over 6 months now. Artists, PFP projects, Creatives of all walks of life have been welcomed to tell their story...

We play a few different versions (3, out of the 10,000) and give you an idea of what music being mixed, mastered & arranged through the Blockchain sounds like (The user IS engineer when they hit that mint button). Let Julian tell it while GM explains his exact issue with everyone wanting to start a podcast now (and why its not BAD...but its not exactly all good)

The King of Punks aka The People's Punk Spottie Wifi returns to 4Thangs! It feels like it's been a while since Spottie stopped through but its only been a few months. In those few months Spottie has dropped an NFT Album, won an award at NFT NYC & performed for the people on a hippie bus and that's just the tip of the iceberg, slim. Spottie talks about where he picked up his wears for NFT NYC & GM breaks down his theory about why classic artists are selling entire catalogs in the twilight years of their life (and why they're probably selling themselves short)

This episode is clutch for anyone looking to get into the NFT Music world & prepare yourself for what's in store!

A whole lot of talk in this one but make sure you check out with Spottie is up to and let him know we need that mention on the next joint! See ya'll real soon, 4Thangs, Out!

Bradl3y stops by to kick it with GM and talk about his project, what it's like going from blockchain to blockchain & what it's like on the independent grind out here in the NFT world. GM also takes a few to talk about the state of a profile picture project when the old houses on the block sell to new faces and how that could be good or bad for the project & the "community". A lot more in this one so sit back and press play, hang out and get to know Bradley, GM & a whole lot of random. (Denzuul took the day off for work...wait....nevermind....)

See you again with the gang, real soon!

This is where you start.

But....

"What does Social Media have to do with NFTs?!?"

More than you might think and honestly its a great place to get your feet wet. Danny Ukes stops by 4Thangs to hang out with GM & Denzuul and to break down everything you need to know getting into following both NFT people & projects!

Follow Danny on Twitter (@DanVerno) to stay up to date with the projects he's been working with recently and if you haven't already, start your journey in the wide world of NFTs! More episodes coming soon and we'll be getting loose on More Thangs, no worries. See yall again real soon!

In this Season Finale of Season 2, Side B gets active. Very, very active. The run down as quick as we can...

-GM & Catfish talk about their trip to Atlanta for Gucci Mane's "The Spot" with their old podcast The Blind Box

-Andy is a busy guy

-Denzuul vs Beanie (Shout out to Tom Petty)

-OpenSea has some internal drama, the scene reacts

Momma I'm so sorry, I'm so obnoxious...

Love ya'll. Season 3 is coming up and we're about to get serious. Well, as serious as we can get around here.

In a more recently recorded segment of 4Thangs, new addition to the team and co-host Denzuul (@Denzuul) shows up to talk about ... Denzuul? That's right, GM decides its time to get to know the new wild card of 4Thangs Podcast. Denzuul shows why he's one of the squad at this point and handles the hot seat like a ...pro? Let us know what you think, mostly Denzuul, especially if it's bad....

We'll see you on the B Side when Catfish joins GM & Denzuul for a classic talk that includes... what else? More 90 Day Fiance? I know I know, but it gets a little different this time. We also talk Bachelor vs Bachelorette parties, OpenSea employee issues & Denzuul vs Beanie. We're just talkin', mannnn. See ya'll again real soon before we roll into Season 3. 16 Thangs. Coming Soon ;)

Just about 3 months ago GM, the host of 4Thangs, was given a gift by someone he knew not much about but he knew the gift was special.

The gift? A D'Evol. "Locked Up". #50.

The angel in the ski mask? FI5HYVR.

On the day of the G'Evols release from KidEight, Fishy stops by "More Thangs" for his and GM's first ever real life conversation. GM runs down what lead up to Fishy's generous gift of eventual financial freedom and the success and overall growth of the D'Evols project that predated G'Evols, as well as the growth of KidEight as an artist from the outside looking in. Denzuul joins us on his most favorite day of the year because... that's what he does? IDK but anytime he's around you know its going to be a good time.

Listen to 3 fans of incredibly dope art geek out on release day of one of the most anticipated projects in the NFT Space at the moment, KidEight's G'Evols.

It's been a crazy couple of days here at the 4Thangs HQ. This episode was intended to drop yesterday except yesterday was an insane blur so you get a double up today! First up? S.H.A.C.K.E.Rs!

Shack stops by to talk about the concept behind S.H.A.C.K.E.Rs and how they're utilizing NFT's to be more than just a picture or a couple of air drops. GM gets into a few hot topics and releases some new information about an upcoming project here at 4Thangs as well!

Oh and guess who got a M*taMask Wallet? (Spoiler Alert: Dad)

Get to learn about S.H.A.C.K.E.Rs and all the ways you can shack to create future content with your S.H.A.C.K.E.Rs on this episode of "More Thangs"!

Catfish AND Denzuul are in the building? No really, they're in full effect and hitting more home runs for the people!

Catfish learns about Hic..Hicet...HEN and sets up his Temple Wallet. He also gets a few surprise gifts from Denzuul, who's off quite the run of his own with his recent success from his Denzuulfied PFP project (now available on OpenSea!)

First half, NFT's.

Second half, 90 Day Fiance talk? Yeah, we go there too.

The Season Finale of Season 2 is on the way. Spoiler alert: Catfish & GM hit the stage of PODCASTPALOOZA!!!

See ya'll again, real soon :)

The better news?

SuperNfty & Digi stopped by to say whats up and talk randomness!

Both of these segments have been marinating for a bit but that's never a problem when it's two solid guests.

SuperNfty stops by to talk about his recent success in the NFT world after selling out just a little before going live on the show. GM & SN talk about a bunch of happenings in the NFT world but mostly this one gets into Vinyl Art talk and a whole lot of artists you should probably be familiar with already.

Digi drops in to talk about what it's like getting a bit of a (re?)birth in the rap world after getting into the NFT space and feeling the urge to contribute. GM talks about his time in the rap world a bit and Digi drops a bunch of ill bars over GM production. That's just the tip of the iceberg tbh...

Side B will be here soon featuring none other than Catfish and Denzuul. (He's along for the ride now, we jump him in with a bunch of 90 Day Fiancee talk, so there's that..)

See ya'll again real soon and thanks for checking out 4Thangs!

4Thangs is on the way and will be here soon, these episodes aren't meant to be microwaved. This is the crock pot of podcasting. Possibly the air-fryer if you know what you're doing with it. We'll catch ya'll soon, peace!

Catfish jumps in for his regularly scheduled appearance and we get a guest spot from the shi*tposting legend himself, Denzuul!

GM is hype because the Knicks got a point guard, Catfish is back from a small vacay, Denzuul is fresh off of work and fresh off of a couple of L's in the NFT world. GM & Fish talk to Denzuul about his historic HEN Kid Eight purchase and GM talks about some of the kindness of the NFT world.

Also, big announcement in there somewhere and GM & Catfish continue on their trip to PODCASTPALOOZA with a random hitch hiker who is learning about the world of Non Fungible Tokens....

Check out past episodes of 4Thangs and our episodes of "More Thangs" with random NFT projects while we continue to build the bridge between Hip Hop, Pop Culture & NFT's/Digital Art!

(Instrumental during skits provided by S6XS6XS6X (@s6_xs6)

Do you own a Raccoon? Probably not.... now you have the option to do that because of the fine people over at the Raccoons! @RaccoonsNFT are here to add value to your NFT collection with evolving Raccoons. Yep. The more you own, the more they grow. Hear more about whats going on with the artist behind the project, Craso, and listen to some random NFT and art talk along the way!

(As always, we are getting a few Raccoons air dropped for the show and you can hear us talk about this during the segment because we're not trying to push, pump or be sneaky. Just some good ol' fashion radio in 2021.)

This episode is long overdue because we have been busy trying to keep the lights on here at 4Thangs but we are back with another great episode supporting great artists.

Chemical Messiah is first up to stop through and chop it up with GM about all the things from Mac Miller (RIP) to the recent* dramas of the NFT scene. We also talk about what it's like being the head of all of the departments of being an artist in 2021. (*It's not really recent because these segments are meant to act as little moments of history, "space moves fast", so we choose to sacrifice timeliness for overall value. We don't lack value 'round here!)

2nd Segment we get a visit from an old friend of The Blind Box and now 4Thangs, MCA Evil Design! (And RenOne stops by to hold it down as guest co-host.) G & Ren take the time to break down the NFT scene to MCA as he peaks behind the curtain of what's going on in a Non-Fungible World. Keep an eye out and hopefully you'll get a chance to check out MCA's transition in the NFT World first hand, up close for yourself sometime soon?!

This episode is scarred by some technical difficulties in each segment but that's what keeps it different around here sometimes and we wouldn't want it any other way lol Hope you feel the same...

Side B is on the way ft. Catfish, we break down more of GM's ventures into BTS of projects in the NFT world and some more random stuff because that's what we do around here, right? lol

Thanks for tuning in and catch everyone on Side B of Episode 2!

If you see 'em point em outtttt

Ok but seriously, we're back for another run with "More Thangs" and the AstroRookies (AstroRookies.com)!

GM sets up to talk to the team about everything from why the AstroRookies are lacking a neck (the people wanna know!) and how it feels putting together a 10k project while making decisions as a team. Check out what they're up to and that episode of 4Thangs is on the way. I hope you're ready...

More Thangs is back with another great segment. Here's the rundown:

-GM is late for the first time since starting 4Thangs/More Thangs

-Andi forgives him because he's the man

-GM & Andi talk about NFT's, ALL the things you can do in the Metaverse & what it's like being a kid artist in 2021 (Note: GM doesn't have a kid so does anything he has to say about this really matter? You decide...?)

There is a lot more going on here but make sure you check out the project Andi dropped today, "Picture Day Club"! And everything else that he's been up to including Bored Ape Punks, Baked Bear Beach Club & more!

New Episode of 4Thangs is coming very soon.. I hope everyone's ready.

Yes! More Thangs! This segment features a visit from ODDMANOUT aka Doug (Skullscrowns.com). Doug stops by to talk about the importance of genuine media in the NFT scene, what it's like adjusting to the NFT scene, SKULLSCROWNS, learning multiple tactics to his approach & we get a chance to break down his most recent project, PIXELS FOR RECOVERY. Pixels looks like it has the potential to be a great project for a great cause (Amy Winehouse Foundation)

GM also talks a little about his new role with the Rabbit College Club (@RabbitCollegeCl) & how things are shaping up as they move forward with the team!

Check out More Thangs as we get closer to a new episode of 4Thangs. Things are cooking, don't miss out on the fun!

This is another episode of "More Thangs" where we take time to talk to a project about what they....ok, this one's a little more random than that lol @TopShotFanatic stops through to talk about the NFT scene, to help school GM to some names he should have already been familiar with & they also talk about the Roo's and what got us to where we are right now with the RooCrew (@RooCrewNFT)!

(4Thangs was dropped some random NFT's for this appearance and if you got a problem with that you a sucka)

New Episode of 4Thangs is on the way! Sit tight, things are expanding here and you never know where it's going to take us ;)

Get it? High level humor around these parts..

But seriously, GM opens up the mics one more time and NFT Tracker (@trackerNFT) stops by to break down what has been going on with the NFT scene as well as what he's got going on with his live utility NFT avatar project, the Chunky Cow Tour. These guys look like they're ready to kick a** ...or...get drunk and sleep? Either way you can tell they're up to something! We break down the ups and downs of trading in the NFT world and what it's like getting into projects from the ground level as well as all the real world plans of the CCT!

(Note: One project we mention, Vogus, doesn't release until after this weekend so you can grab your CCT & check out the Vogus if thats something you're into.)

As always, I was dropped a couple of cows. I was jumped in and I'm not growing spots. Moo Life, Babayyyy. (But seriously, products/brands will drop me things for the show to help keep the lights on. That should be pretty regulatory for podcasts, move along, nothing to see here.)

BYOP stops by More Thangs to talk about their new project. We can't call it an "avatar project" even though it can be USED on your avatar. These are some of, if not the first, NFT's that are built to bring visual creativeness to your current avatars, including pics, VR experiences, etc. Dropping Friday!

Btw, worth noting, this is also the debut of Danny Ukes on 4Thangs. When we comes back we'll make sure to get the clicks and pops out but for now, this is what you could consider a sneak peak into the current world of Danny. It's about to get trippy, mane.

(More Thangs guests have agreed to contribute to the show so this thing can keep moving forward. For the sake of transparency... Got a problem with that? Too bad bruh)

This time GM sits down with Hagakure from Crypto Battle Arena! CBA is an upcoming NFT avatar project that will allow you to go into battle with your CBA NFT's. Earn real crypto from fighting against others! IDK I thought it sounded cool so I wanted to talk to Haga more about it. (Spoiler Alert: It still sounds cool tbh)

Check out this special segment of More Thangs and get ready for CBA!

(As always, DYOR & 4Thangs is not affiliated to this project in any way. We like getting cool stuff, so we have no problem taking it in return for talking to projects that want to get the word out about what they're doing.)

But Side B? That's where GM takes the time to break the NFT world to Catfish.

I'm talking about Apes, Punks, Aliens, Luchas, Open Sea, HEN, you name it, it's probably getting brought up (and GM might even be wrong a couple...or few times..but since he's never claimed to be an "NFT Expert" its ok, we're all learning together here)

The big move here? Catfish set up his MetaMask!

Check out what we're up to and get ready to join GM & Catfish into the journey of NFT technology and art as 4Thangs rolls on into the season!

The Smoke Session starts...now!

On another special segment of More Thangs we welcome StonersRock to the show and sit down with Sara (@altcryp), SirCryptos (@A_Pevine) & Line (Line has his hand up)

But really though, StonersRock is a new NFT project that is releasing to help bring together the Stoner Community. To bring out all the Stoners lurking in the smokey shadows this one is for you.

Sara talks about what it's like being a micro-influencer in the coding scene, the utility behind StonerRocks IRL & GM gets offered air-mailed special cookies(!!)

GM also talks about the current state of "More Thangs" and a ...whole lot more...

Roll up and get to know the team, check out the release on 7/13 @ 4:20est!

(This is not a PAID Advertisement but as full disclosure StonerRocks is jumping me in with (?) amount of StonerRocks because SR are good folks and good folks appreciate good people)

Top. Dog. Beach. Club.

Abby & Paul stop by to talk about what they've been up to with TDBC as well as some other random topics in the NFT scene. We cover a bunch of topics while GM tries to understand what makes this project different than other projects out at the moment (I can't lie, there's definitely some...thangs). TDBC gets unintentionally put on the hot seat re: Influencers & how this whole process of being popular works.

Thanks again to TDBC for stopping through and as always, DYOR. Check out the most recent, and first, season of 4Thangs as we gear up to roll into Season 2!

We're back with Episode 4 of Season 1 after a bit of a family break in the show. After a couple of weeks GM is back with 4 new, great guests to unload the clip. First up, Jacob Meyer (@Jacob___Meyer) hits the show to catch up on the recent happenings in the NFT world including GM's recent pick up of a D'evol from a very unlikely place, a Super Yeti experience that could only be given away, & we get to hear Jacob's live reaction to the unveiling of the Bored Ape Kennel Club that he had sold a few days before hand... all that and a lot more... Next Up?

Producer/DJ/Photographer/Musician and just overall Cool Cat DJ Burn One jumps on 4Thangs to venture into the NFT world, what avatar projects he might have his eye on, his most recent sales & what it's like soundtracking NFT pieces with friends from across the globe. GM talks about his most recent hot-take involving NFT Art Babies, some projects he has his eye on & Burn One gets a chance to check out some of the skits & bits that have been going on here at 4Thangs...

All that on Side A & we haven't even gotten to the Return of Catfish or rhyme spitter & sanger Gifted Gab just yet... (well, you'll hear Catfish a bit on the Side A, but the B-Side is where we take the victory lap. TMC.)

It's not a tape? Ok, You win...

ToySldrs aka Dennis stops by to talk about NFT's & being a budding artist in the digital world. GM gives Dennis some advice regarding the Secondary Market (and why it matters) as well as talking about Dennis' (incredible) Animal Crossing island that is a replica of Brooklyn. Yes, That Brooklyn. We talk about a whole lot more including VR & GM's current giveaway winning of a Super Yeti (Feel free to check out "More Thangs", a new segment recently posted with the team from Super Yeti themselves!)

In the 4th and final segment of Episode 3, Harold Bingo AKA Parallel Universe GM stops by to talk about what it's like being from a small town and getting into a big world (hip hop). Harold touches on the origins of his name, what its like being "internet famous" & how he has no idea what an NFT is (Don't worry, GM breaks it down so he can find it ...somewhat relatable)

This is Episode 3. Episode 4 will be up in another week or 2.

With a big surprise for everyone that was a fan of that other show we did really well...... See you next time!

Well, OG's in their own respect of course.

Coldie is an Award Winning, Super OG of the NFT Art movement and stops by to break down everything NFT & Crypto with GM. We talk about our first experiences on the internet (YTMND), Collector Perspective vs Artist Perspective, & VR Anxiety (Is that even a ... thang?). Coldie also talks the approach he takes to making his art while GM breaks down how crazy "coincidences" are in the sports world. We cover a lot of ground in a little bit of time. Get caught up on the world of Coldie in Segment 1 of this episode of 4Thangs!

SpottieWifi is the 1st (And Only) CryptoPunk Rapper. Spottie swings through to talk about what its like finding people that are rocking with your likeness a little toooo much, his current NFT collectible kicks available through Ethlings, & why you have to claim what you are (more so in GM's words, but we're on the same page..) GM also catches Spottie off guard for a little freestyle but he's got bigger things on his mind right now so he just gave us a lil somethin' somethin'.

All that and find out what happens when a NFT tries to sell a NFT to your favorite podcast host, GM!

This is another Episode of 4Thangs and let me just say, we have a big surprise lined up for Episode 4 (The Season Finale). Want a hint? I would but I gotta go grab a plate of fries & gravy....

See ya'll again real soon!

New Episode on the way tomorrow, for now let this hold you over. This isn't 4Thangs. It's More Thangs. Yeti Gang.

In another small time travel, we go back a couple of weeks to 4/20. Here at 4Thangs, It doesn't matter when good segments are released, but on top of that, J doesn't smoke so we're alriiiiiiight.

If you know anything about the B-Side, that's where things get dusty. No better way than have (former) underground hip hop producer and (currently) funk driven drummer J-Zone stop by and talk about his transition from producer to drummer, what it's like being your own manager, shipping department, customer service, working with his right hand Pablo Martin & GM throws up some of his own beats to be critiqued by the Du-Rites own, Zone. As always, he doesn't hold any punches and we even get a few drum techniques and lessons from J. Go check out what the Du-Rites are up to as well as what J-Zone's been up to lately (He's been busy!)

And finally, to close out Episode 2 of 4Thangs, we get a visit from the fellas at Rap Rankings. Moogs & Mel(z) stop by the show to talk about what it's like starting up a new podcast with your homie, how they decide what albums get what rankings, and we even get a few bars from Melvin. A must listen for anyone who's a fan of digging into the true content of an album, mixtape, soundtrack, you name it, they knock it out.

4Thangs will be back soon with Episode 3. We are half way through Season 1 and hopefully its beginning to fall in place for you as the listener. Thanks again for taking time to check out the show and we'll see you again real soon!

Wait..... this isn't a sports podcast?

It's okay, you don't need to care about The Knicks, Basketball or whatever else because we get a trip form the West Coast & NiteOwl is in the building to try and keep GM sane while the Knicks battle the Hawks in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. NiteOwl stops through to talk about a variety of things including The Knicks, Crypto, NFT's & what it's like being an "old school" artist in a "new school" world. Check out what he's up to and give him and his owls a follow over on Twitter.

In segment 2 of Side A, we get trippy with Lurk aka LurkLovesYou. Lurk talks what it's like living on Vancouver Island, the importance of getting out to breathe fresh air as an artist, what it's like as an artist being compared to other artists, and the ... dangers of recycling(!?). It's not as crazy it may seem....Also, get a laugh as GM tries to pronounce the Hic..Hice....HEN site. (Keep in mind, some of these segments are recorded out of order, so GM does not bump his head between segment 1 & 2, we're just doing some early stage time traveling)

Also, we've piced up a new customer complain worker and .... some more customer complaints here at 4Thangs and things get handled....

In Segment 2, Side B of 4Thangs Episode 1, the homie Tony Grands stops by to talk about a whole lot of randomness but mostly about what it's like picking up a new hustle only to land on your feet in a somewhat new position (Go check out Tonystees.online when you got the time). We also talk some crypto thangs (spoiler alert: we were right about some .... extremely wrong about others...but that's how it goes when you're human, right?) Tony drops gems, pull up a seat and take notes. You never know when you'll need them...

4Thangs takes off with a heavy hitting episode. So heavy it's split in two sides(the mixtape reference makes sense once you press play, I promise). On Side A, GM sits down with hip hop/r&b producer & soundtracking wizard Pat Pryor (@_PatrickPryor) & talks how he got into the game as well as what he does when he's not cooking up new sounds. Pat gives some tips on getting into the game of licensing music and talks about what it's like being on the soundtrack to one of his favorite games to play (Forza5).

Up next as the 2nd Guest of Episode 1 of 4Thangs is none other than Freehandprofit! (@Freehandprofit). Free (he says its ok to call him that...) talks about what it's like creating functioning gas masks out of top of the line sneaker wear. FHP also talks about NFT's & some crypto thangs as well as what it's like seeing some of his favorite kicks out in the wild on foot. GM takes some time to talk about his experience collecting vinyl art & other randomness as well as his experience with the word "community". Shout out to #ShrugLife. That's real.

Keep an eye out for Side B of Episode 1, but as of right now, make sure to press play and check out what GM is up to on a new podcast experience that can only be described as... 4Thangs!
