INTRODUCTION
It was early 2003 at Mama Toon’s house in Compton. Krump was young. The dancers were raw. The sessions were exhilarating as they provided a safe environment to express emotions and creativity.
The Krump Kings gained popularity in many countries with ‘Reality TV’ content that focused on the originator of Krump and rise of the global movement. This was long before social influencers and Youtube videos became popular.
Popularity grew exponentially after the release of ‘RIZE’ by David Lachapelle. It sparked even more global interest and Krump Kings gave fans a way to connect and participate though events, instructional DVD’s, documentaries, workshops and entertainment.
As the movement grew, mainstream media started noticing.
By 2008, the Krump Kings had toured the world, performed at the Academy Award, appeared in hundreds of tv shows, music videos and movies. The artists and productions accumulated billions of views.
In Europe we held a record breaking sessions with over 3,000 people, making it the largest Krump session in history.
Now, we will use social platforms to create a global network of dancers, artists and fans to learn about new technologies and business opportunities while getting our unique brand of entertainment.
It’s a rare thing to witness the birth of a global movement. ‘Legends of Krump’ preserves this history with unique works of art that also give holders exclusive ownership over parts of the Krump Kings content library.
Each piece is unique. No duplicates.
This is a very exciting time for us and we thank you for participating. Stay in touch through social media.
Sincerely
The Team
THE NFTs
Our goal was to create unique collectibles that are beautiful and meaningful.
Each NFT represents stand-alone art that is also part of the historic timeline.
Some of the art can be displayed as a static images or looping video (or gif).
NFT holders get exclusive ownership of that image, gif or video version. Some holders will receive additional content that is connected to the NFT they purchase by smart contract.
Some videos may include music. In these cases, Owners automatically get a non-exclusive royalty free license to use the embedded music for free in perpetuity with that NFT.
NEW FEATURES
Some NFTs in this collection are short music videos that loop seamlessly, but can be connected to other NFTs from the set to create a longer music video.
We haven’t seen this before, so bear with us as we explain;
Using an example from this collection; The set ‘Hype Up 1’ includes 14 NFTs.
Each of the 14 video clip is a unique music video that loops seamlessly. It is a piece of art that can be displayed with or without music.
Connecting more clips from this set to each other will create a longer version of ‘Hype Up’.
The parts can be combined in any order and the longer loops will still work.
In the example of ‘Hype Up’. Anyone that collects all 14 pieces to complete the video would own the only copy of that version of ‘Hype Up’ in existence.
Check a sample video of how this works here.
You can easily connect these clips to make a longer video. Use video editing software and follow these 3 steps:
1. Check that your NFT is from a set that has connecting parts. check here.
2. Connect your wallet and download the hi-definition version of your NFT.
