We Them

In this special episode of We Them Niggas, I sit down with my brother JED XO, a talented performing artist from Edo State, Nigeria. I first met JED through music NFTs, which he has discussed on the podcast before. This conversation comes at the end of my first trip to Nigeria, where we traveled across the country, exploring new terrains both literally and figuratively. JED shares how our journey together inspired him to push beyond his limits, from visiting the point of no return in Badagry to discovering more about my African American roots.JED discusses his vision for using his platform as a deliberate artist, with a focus on addressing hunger in Nigeria through initiatives like food banks. We dive deep into his exploration of blockchain technology—from minting his first NFT on Manifold to exploring Cardano, Ethereum, and DeFi. Plus, hear about his time with the Creative Alchemy team and meeting Daniel and PressTK, his producer.This episode is filled with powerful insights on innovation, community-building, and being a pioneer for positive change. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about art, technology, and making a meaningful impact.

We talk about our two weeks together in Nigeria, how the support of the community helped him grow, and what it meant to transition from a digital network to an in-person connection rooted in trust and shared goals.

In this episode of We Them Niggas, hosted by Maceo Whatley, Anesi—the pioneering mind behind Creative Alchemy—explains how her Abuja-based initiative nurtures a supportive environment for artists, technologists, and innovators through blockchain technology. She recounts her evolution from a local musician to a global community builder, revealing Creative Alchemy’s mission to bring one billion creatives onchain. Anesi also shares the story behind her first track, Trapiano—a striking fusion of Trap and Amapiano brimming with infectious rhythms, melodies, and lyrics—showcasing her boundless versatility. A true jack of all trades, Anesi embodies the spirit of collaboration, and this episode reflects the pride We Them Niggas takes in connecting with Creative Alchemy as they work toward a new frontier for Web3 art and culture.CreditsFilmed in July 2024 in Lifecamp, AbujaPost-production by Zed and KosbaarCreative Direction by SuperBioExecutive Producer: C.Y.
