“NEWSFLASH: UMG’s next-gen label 10:22PM forms 𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏, the First-Ever Group Consisting of NFT Characters from Bored Ape Yacht Club,” the company tweeted earlier today.
The group will consist of three bored apes and one mutant ape. All of the groups members are owned by J1mmy.

“10:22PM, one of Universal’s labels, has hired a team of crypto artists and animators to turn the two-dimensional apes into three-dimensional beings, Bloomberg news reported earlier today in its article “The World’s Largest Record Company Is Creating an NFT Super Group.”
“The company will record music for Kingship that it releases on streaming services. The “band” will perform and participate in video games, virtual-reality applications and across the constellation of digital experiences known as the metaverse.”
