Future Escape Plan Music Video Features Bored Apes

Later this year, the Bored Ape duo will release many songs with Francis. The artist told Decrypt in an interview that all of the duo’s videos will feature many Bored Apes and are animated.

“I had to have an Ape so that I could be in the music videos with Escape Plan,” Francis said.

As a DJ duo, they already released their debut single “Jungle” with the rapper Rich the Kid. With WME, the two NFT avatars will work with the agency with different endorsements and other projects using their IP.

The duo’s manager, Tim Bonito, sees Escape Plan as the fusion between Web2 and Web3. He told Decrypt that electronic artists are among the most receptive to NFTs. In addition, he said that the NFT industry continues to move n such a fast rate.

“Things change so quickly on Web3 that I think that in six months from now, the world is going to be completely different,” Bonito said.
