Kin of Merlin Swirlin' as One - Introducing the Kin to Hive
(Edited)
Authored by
@elamental
In case you missed the post by ELAmental from back in late January, here's a quick intro/update to who and what WE are. Kin of Merlin is currently a 13 Artist Hip Hop Krew of Emcees mostly reigning in Cascadia (the pacific northwest of the U.S., i.e. Washington, Oregon, & California - check the "Meet the Emcees" section of our website with links to all the core members). We also have several secondary names like Paladin's of Awen, which we mention in our rhymes quite frequently in new music releasing this year.

Some members also wear multiple (or several) hats for us like producer, sound engineer, event organizer, promoter, graphic artist, merch designer, director, video editor, etc. We have gone on TWO tours in 2023 thus far (winter international Mexico Tour for The Greater Reset AND our Spring "West Coast Love Tour"), but many of us are hanging back the rest of 2023 developing our compositions for publication and developing our backend-desk work for the bigger picture stuff for Kin of Merlin in 2024.

We Have SOOOO much amazing content to share here... more happening constantly - currently developing our Kin hardware cloud to share show/tour/promo footy with each other privately.
A few of us are also simultaneously developing physical land in Washington state right now so we may truly resurrect Camelot and what is becoming known as "New Avalon" (more on that later).

Some of our artists are however branching out more this summer for us as Rhymewave & Samoreye are about to take off for ReKinection Festival in Missouri to perform in front of a HUGE crowd...reppin' the Krew HARD.

We have done so much as a Krew so fast that it's almost unreal to think about... but it is very real, and we are all doing our best to continue harnessing this intense wave of energy, emcees, and rhymeflowz... while we continue to develop our Electronic Press Kit ("EPK" for professional booking references - examples, links, logos, info, etc.), which should be completed in the next few weeks post-release of our new music video (later this week), and our group interview from Mexico in January.
Kin of Merlin OG logo 4 month evolution
The evolution of our OG KoM logo even just in the past 4 months is a perfect representations of our rapid rate of growth, evolution, and expansion as a Krew.
Easter Eggs of Hive Influence in this Design - NEW KoM logo making it's Hive Debut soon in addition.
We look forward to holding a greater presence here on Hive as @ELAmental returns to the blockchain after a solid 8 months of Music Group/Record Lebel construction with help from Group members that are now being trained and onboarded (@emilyra333 just hopped on this weekend.. tricklin' down the Training). It is our hope we are accepted and flourish in synergy with this world-wide community, while achieving ANY amount of financial support to fund our projects of music synergy for Gaia, Humanity, REAL TRUTH, and REAL HIP HOP.
Check out the Fly Priestess @emilyra333 's blog & 1st post here
Our next post will be sharing our first music video recorded on the last Sagittarius supermoon in 2022, from Kin of Merlin's first single, "ELAvate" - now featured as song #2 on Kin of Merlin's debut album: "Axis of Mythic Imagination {Part I}", Part of a double LP release (part II releasing later this summer after our Mexico EP project releases later this month).

It's quite refreshing to experience Living Dreams Actualized from constant intention setting and persistent evolution.. it's not impossible, it's just not necessarily "easy". We Live the Proof (of concepts evolved with context).
A few of us our doing an event for the "Soulstice" in Portland, OR on the 22nd, but our next major gathering is a private 3 day campout river-retreat in New Avalon (Washington) with the Kin to discuss and finalize our collective Sound governance, decision making, and voluntary designation of stations. We hope to collectively manifest an optimized system of self-governance with installed failsafes and protections that will evolve over time, and eventually serve as an in-practice case-study and example to be adopted on a larger scale for a more evolved, and mutually beneficial existence for all... outgrowing outdated ways degradating our sacred birthright of harmonic synergism.

P.S. - Kin of Merlin was born in the Forge Fires of Collaboration... we continue to feed that spirit in everything we do - so don't ever be afraid to reach out if you have something to bring to the table.

MANY more updates OTW... along with hopefully some PR/management soon as well - we are good at it, but there are so many tasks and only so much time in each day. Delegation imminent to redirect consistant artistic focus. Thank you everyone for all your support and co-creationz. #blessthemethod
