When Bitcoinist first reported on the digital NFT band, we described KINGSHIP as:
“A band consisting of four members – all digital. That’s right, the group has no physical identity and instead they will be an NFT. This has the potential to be a wave that might change how we look at artists. Kingship consists of a Mutant Ape and three Bored Ape characters, including rare Golden Fur and Bluebeam Apes.”
The band is the creation of 10:22PM, Universal Music Group’s label devoted to technological avant-garde tasks. In a recent press release, each the band and M&M’s introduced the restricted version candies.
“Just 4000 have been created in total: The Gold edition, the rarest version, comes in a white and gold foil gift box and includes custom printed candies with KINGSHIP group members Captain, KING, Arnell and Hud in individually numbered boxes from 1 to 100. M&M’S will also produce only 3,900 exclusive celebratory gift boxes in Brown. Additionally, there will be 6,000 gift jars of the candies, available TODAY to fans in the U.S.”
That’s proper, US readers can nonetheless get them on M&M’s special landing page for the collaboration.
What Do M&M’s And 10:22PM Say About The Project?
The press launch accommodates two quotes from the geniuses that conceived this entire company orgy. The first one comes from Jane Hwang, Global Vice President at Mars Wrigley:
“Consumers’ expectations for what they want from their favorite brands has shifted, and at Mars, we know we need to be more innovative than ever with such a culturally famous brand like M&M’S. We’re excited to continue our Mars foray into the metaverse through this partnership with 10:22PM and KINGSHIP, as a way to engage our fans in a new and exciting space.”

The second one is courtesy of Celine Joshua, founding father of 10:22PM and the creator of KINGSHIP:
“KINGSHIP is a group dedicated to the art of storytelling, so it was a great opportunity for us to both pay homage to rock’n’roll history, and one of the greatest bands of all time, but also create a unique fan experience for those that have joined this community at the start of their journey.”
They created an entire story round KINGSHIP’s rider and the legend that, at their peak, Van Halen had a clause that prohibited brown M&M’s backstage at their live shows. The factor is, KINGSHIP’s story is terrible. We received’t trouble you with it. Let’s go straight to the NFT enterprise aspect of issues.

About KINGSHIP’s Key Card NFTs
The band has not launched any music in any respect, however final month KINGSHIP bought “5,000 access-enabled Key Cards” in NFT format in 24 hours. And that is the primary perk that holders received, they “were the first to know about this exclusive collaboration and were given an early opportunity to access the products.” That’s modern and reveals potential.
The band has additionally made progress, KINGSHIP recruited “animator Jack Lanza” and “Grammy Award-winning music producers and well-respected NFT collector Jimmy McNelis.” Will we hear music quickly? Bitcoinist actually hopes so.
