ENTER TO WIN

Check out this exclusive interview with TLC about why they chose to do this partnership with SongVest!

Why sell shares of royalties for individual songs versus the whole catalog? 
TLC: It’s all about giving our fans the freedom to choose. Some groove to “Creep” while others relate to “No Scrubs.” By offering individual song shares – “Creep”, “Waterfalls” and “Diggin On You” – we let our fans pick and choose what resonates with them.  
 
What’s appealing about selling to retail customers versus institutions? 
TLC: It’s about that genuine connection. Plus, when our fans become stakeholders in our songs, it’s like a musical partnership that goes beyond the charts. We’re in this together, working hand in hand.  
 
How has the experience been so far? Any big surprises? Any big hurdles?  
TLC: Working with SongVest has been smooth sailing. But, you know, every adventure has its challenges. One of the hurdles we’ve faced is explaining this unique concept to our fans, but so far, the journey has been exciting and we’re just getting started. 

Will people be able to stream the re-recorded songs on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music? 
TLC: Absolutely! These new renditions of our classic tracks are available for streaming right now. We want our fans to groove to our beats wherever they are, and these songs are ready to hit your playlists. 
 
Why re-record? 
TLC: Having the ability to re-record gives us the freedom to innovate and share the love with our fans. Re-recording also opens exciting opportunities for our music to be featured in TV and film, and we have complete ownership. 
 
How come every artist isn’t doing this? 
TLC: TLC has always been about finding the perfect fit with our fans. We are always looking for new and innovative ways to connect with our audience and we believe that we are one of the first to do this. We’re setting the stage, and excited to see who’s ready to join us in this musical adventure! 

The Contest ends on February 29, 2024 at 11:59 PM CT (the “Contest Period”).

Last May, SongVest offered fans the chance to win a phone call with TLC, with prize lots of signed posters and t-shirts for runners-up.

Although the “Diggin’ On You” single shares have sold out, there are SongShares® remaining for “No Scrubs” and “Creep“, to enable your chance to be part of TLC history and own a portion of their streaming royalties!

Get Involved!

The performance will be taped as part of a new TNT reality TV competition called “The Sum: All-Star Music Battle.”

“We created ‘The Sum’ as not only a show, but a multifaceted platform for sport, entertainment and music lovers,” Alex Katz, co-founder of Anagram Studios, said. “While most concert goers may not sing as well as their favorite artist, singing alongside other fans creates a beautiful bond, and in turn, a heartwarming sound. Our company believes in the power of togetherness, and we look forward to The Sum uniting fans and artists in song around the world.”

Per “The Sum’s” description, “‘The Sum’ is an original concept based on the best part of any concert — fans singing along with the artists, also known as ‘the common chorus effect.’ In ‘The Sum,’ fans share the spotlight with their favorite music stars by performing a song together.”

TLC seem to be getting comfortable with endorsing sports establishments as of late. Last week, the legendary group were surprise special guests at the Altanta Falcons v New Orleans Saints game on November 26, where a number of the biggest hip-hop stars from Atlanta performed together to celebrate 50 years of hip-hop!

T-Boz and Chilli were honored to participate and represent for their sister, the late, great Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, whose talents and contribution to hip-hop did not go unmissed, as she paved the way for many other rappers that came after her.

TLC graced the pitch at the end of the first quarter and graciously performed a segment of their global smash, “Waterfalls“, with Left Eye’s rap playing out beforehand.

Who will you choose to perform with LIVE in Las Vegas?!

TLC Exclusively Release Free NFT with OneOf with a Chance to See Them Headline VeeCon Concert

Leon@TLCArmy's avatarLeon@TLCArmy Leave a comment

OneOf has announced a TLC: Lookin’ Like Glass genesis NFT collection. The series launches with a free green-tier CrazySexyCool NFT which gives holders one entry into a very exciting sweepstakes for crypto and TLC fans alike!

If you go by pure chart success, the “it” girl group of the 90s, TLC, would be a contender for the “best girl group of all time.” If you go by sales, they are, in fact, the biggest. Their iconic song, “No Scrubs” released on February 2, 1999, set the tone for nearly all future women empowerment anthems to come.

After it launched, it quickly secured the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 for four weeks and stayed on the charts for months. Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas just knew it was going to be a hit because even though the term “scrub” was regional, the idea was universal.

“A scrub is just a bum guy, you know? You don’t want to bring him home…” she shares.

Now in 2022, TLC hits Web3 as one of the headlining performances at VeeCon 2022. What’s more, in collaboration with OneOf, TLC brings to you their genesis NFT collection, “Lookin’ Like Glass”. The collection comprises a free green-tiered NFT that will give holders a chance to win a pair of tickets to VeeCon 2022 in Minneapolis, May 19th-22nd.

TLC will be performing their headline set at VeeCon 2022 on Friday May 20th.

The free green-tier NFT will be available to claim from now until Sunday May 22nd, 11.59pm EST.

A winner will be selected on May 10th, so act fast!

On May 20th, 2022, to celebrate TLC’s performance at VeeCon, the remainder of the collection will drop with gold, platinum and diamond editions that will grant holders ownership of a percentage of the master streaming royalty rights for the band’s re-recording of “No Scrubs”, “Waterfalls”, and “Creep”. The NFTs will also come with chances to win TLC VIP concert tickets, signed posters, zoom parties, and more.

OneOf was designed specifically to create an environmentally sustainable, artist-and-fan-friendly experience. Built on the Tezos blockchain protocol, minting a NFT on OneOf’s platform uses two million times less energy than other proof-of-work networks. Dedicated to charitable causes, OneOf offers artists using their platform the option to donate portions of their NFT proceeds to charities of their choice. OneOf also enables fans to pay with credit and debit cards as well as cryptocurrencies.

All VeeCon Tickets are NFTs, purchasable on the secondary market. The current collection floor is 0.223 ETH, approximately $600.
