There's been a few serendipitous moments over this last year that I've been curating this Opepen set. None more than today, the official day I hand over the keys for my small business that I've worked at for two decades, landing on the exact day that the stage opens for set 081.
It's been a surreal time in my life as I reorganize it to pursue a future aligned with my creative strengths. Collaborating with over 30 artists on this collection has been such a meaningful signal of the opportunities ahead of me.
Thank you to the community for believing in me at such a timely moment in my life and thank you @jackbutcher and @jalilwahdat for creating this incredible platform for artists, big and small. 👇
The Eighty First idea will mean so much more if it is set 081. I think I can have it finished within the week. Until then, I humbly ask that no one drop any banger sets or holders not rush to opt-in to anything new so that Eighty First can have its chance at consensus in the fitting spot. 🙏
