      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">While inspiring youth to dare to DreamCrazy, the artist raises awareness for the trailblazing NFT project of the same name.</p><p>Jacksonville, FL -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 02/25/2022 --  Every song has a message, but not always a purpose.<br />
<br />
For the award-winning artist and EVAC Movement co-founder Seven J, finding a way to support the song&apos;s namesake, the DreamCrazy JITS NFT collection, while also inspiring youth to #DreamCrazy, was more than an ambition, it was his purpose.<br />
<br />
"I wrote DreamCrazy JITS to show that the path out of the struggle is to #DreamCrazy, no matter how hopeless your situation may seem," Seven J said.  <br />
<br />
But DreamCrazy JITS, which drops February 25th on all music streaming platforms, is also an anthem for the DreamCrazy JITS NFT collection. A trailblazer in decentralizing the fight for equity and empowerment, this generative, Black youth-developed collection engages NFT-holders in a social justice movement to empower youth everywhere to become at-HOPE instead of "at-risk", transforming their life challenges into superpowers for positive change.<br />
<br />
The message of the song and the NFT project is especially powerful as they both arrive to wrap-up Black History Month. <br />
<br />
"It&apos;s a time to look up and back at those who came before, as we continue the work to build a better future," Seven J said. "DreamCrazyJITS is a rallying cry for people to come together, hear each other, and learn from the sharing." <br />
<br />
A full 50% of the profits from both the song and the DreamCrazy JITS NFT collection will go to the EVAC Movement, an organization Seven J co-founded and has been proud to support.<br />
<br />
The EVAC Movement began in a high school leadership class in Jacksonville, FL – hence the term JITS, from the local colloquial for someone younger – where students learned the value of sharing their life stories in an effort to create understanding. Making a list of their "craziest" dreams led them to meet with President Obama and present at the White House, TEDx (tinyurl.com/EvacTedTalk) and four times at Harvard University. They designed the DreamCrazy JITS NFT with a roadmap aimed at empowering other youth to dare to dream big, too - this time powered with the support of the vibrant NFT community.<br />
<br />
"I grew up in an environment where kids didn&apos;t have the capacity to dream," said Nick Shubert, another EVAC Movement co-founder. "Survival was the only thing on our minds. We want to nurture and grow kids&apos; ability to dream." <br />
<br />
"Our biggest dream is that kids everywhere grow up with the freedom to pursue their craziest dreams," Seven J said. "It&apos;s my mission to make that ideal a reality, and the DreamCrazy JITS NFT and community will do just that," he continued.<br />
<br />
NFT and Hollywood film producer John Manulis added, "You&apos;re not just buying a one-of-a-kind piece of art, you&apos;re actively making a difference by investing in positive change in the communities that need it the most. The funds from this NFT could mean a brighter future for countless youth and generations to come."<br />
<br />
Public sale of the DreamCrazy JITS NFTs is expected to open soon, with the collection&apos;s exclusive Pre-Sale List, which authorizes purchase before the public sale, already filling rapidly. For the initial drop, the price per NFT is expected to be between .05 and .1 ETH.<br />
<br />
Seven J encouraged everyone to "sign-up on the Pre-Sale List as soon as possible…it&apos;s the only way to guarantee you&apos;ll get one before the collection opens to the public." <br />
<br />
As part of supporting the mission of the EVAC Movement, rewards will be unlocked by the producers as the NFT&apos;s sales goals are met.<br />
<br />
* 10 % – They take their moms to Ruth Chris. "Seriously, this is where it all started, so we&apos;re starting by thanking them."<br />
* 20 % – They purchase a screen print machine to produce "I Am Not A Gang Member" hoodies for low-income Jits who need clothing in their home town of Jacksonville.<br />
* 40 % – They airdrop a "super-cool and rare JIT" into the wallets of three random DCJ-holders.<br />
* 50 % – They launch an online, national conversation to help empower youth everywhere.<br />
* 60 % – Special DreamCrazy JIT merch will become available to NFT-holders<br />
* 70 % – With community support, they bring the EVAC Movement into the classroom in at least three schools around the country, as a pilot program for a broader national rollout.<br />
* 80 % – They make donations to ten non-profits, who are doing great work to empower at-HOPE youth in communities across the country.<br />
* 90 % – They develop a gamified initiative to engage and educate youth about crypto and NFTs.<br />
* 100 % – An in-person and virtual DreamCrazy JITs Houseparty is anticipated.<br />
<br />
Then, they say "we&apos;ll dream up a crazier list!"<br />
