Welcome to the surprise Music NFT drop by Jadyn Violet and Twinny Twin:
Twinny Twin’s crib music and Jadyn Violet’s melodies have came together to create a musical piece that highlights storytelling. After the release of genesis projects “Twinesis” and “Violet Token", the two thought it be best to channel the emotions caused by recent events into a song that can be related to real life. This time, we wanted to focus on the actual music and the context behind it.
The Violet Token was Jadyn Violet’s genesis NFT project that dropped back in April 5th, 2022. More information can be found here jadynviolet.xyz . Four nights ago, the nightmare of opening up a Metamask account and seeing no funds became true. Jadyn was working on production in The Underground discord and got a message seeing that one of his NFT’s has sold for .10 ETH. Filled with confusion since he never resold a NFT before, The wallet was checked to uncover that all of the funds were wiped clean. The next day the discord account was hacked and it was clear that things got out of hand. The conversation quickly pivoted to the importance of education in crypto security so that this never happens to anyone again. There were a lot of emotions that were circulating throughout as this was all happening. As artists we fall in love with music because it opened up the possibility of transferring emotions out of your mind and into a song, and that is exactly what needed to be done during this experience.
Twinny Twin and Jadyn Violet have constructed a song within the last 6 days that represents their emotions towards the entire situation. We used the terms “the one” and “girl” as metaphors to display the feelings towards the entire NFT space at the time. The term Resurgence felt fit to showcase the message of the song
For this drop specifically we wanted to announce it as a surprise. The drop will be an open edition mint (.04 ETH) available for exactly one week (May 30th - June 6th). We do not want to focus on utility too much as we want people to own the NFT because they truly enjoy the song and hear the message behind it. However, we still want to provide something to our collectors while also continuing on the theme of security and protecting ourselves. There will be 5 lucky collectors who will be randomly chosen to each win one prize from below:
- (3) Ledger Nano S
- (1) Violet Token
- (1) Twinesis
Minting will take place on both

With this release we are thinking long term. Most Music NFTs only include the song title, but with this release we are utilizing attributes in the contract to include Genre, Artist Names, Producer, and Location of musicians as a way to tag song data, and make it easily accessible in the future through the blockchain. We believe this extra step is something all music releasing in web3 should consider and adopt.
Lyrics
I said you were the one
You said you were my number one yeah
You said you were my one and done yeah
You said you were my one to one
You said you were the one
Don’t nobody mean no more
I can’t help decide
I almost killed my pride
When I seen you in my mind
Make me go insane
A feeling I can’t explain
But I hope that I’m moving on alright
I had you in my mind still
I can’t get away from here
Took that girl out out of fear
Moving on with someone else I see with my eyes I can’t doubt it
If my mom won’t like this
Why can’t I keep fighting
They don’t want us rising
They don’t want us shining And I know I got to honor what my mama told me bout last week
Don’t trust anybody cause they’ll tell you who you wanna be
If I had to leave my time I’m my only one
Wish I hadn’t let them girls be my number ones.
I was just a kid when I started
I don’t
want a problem with the highest
I was
Tryna make it to the top and
And they told
Me that I wasn’t allowed in
That made
Me feeling like an outcast
Some things
You can take it back and not fix
Damage
What you did was full of nonsense
I tried to be aware
But they stopped me and I’m scared oh
I know they trying me
Thoughts are never fair oh
They keep on eyeing me
Kill them so they dead oh
I hope I found my peace
I know that shit rare though
So then came you and me
I said you were the one
You said you were my number one yeah
You said you were my one and done yeah
You said you were my one to one
You said you were the one
You said you were my number one yeah
You said you were my one and done yeah
You said you were my one to one yeah
