Each epoch has its own heroes, but some personalities are above time and space, and their legacy lives much longer than the person who left it. This can be perfectly applied to Christopher Wallace aka Biggie Smalls or The Notorious B.I.G. – one of the most prominent representatives of the hip-hop scene of all times. Although his bright life was too short, his music keeps lighting up the hearts of his fans of all ages.
So now, to give a nod to Biggie's creative genius, the eco-friendly Tezos-powered NFT platform OneOf and The Christopher Wallace Estate teamed up to deliver The Sky’s the Limit: The Notorious B.I.G. NFT Collection to the masses.
NFT series, comprising three exclusive 3D Biggies avatars named after his famous lyrics, including Richer than Richie, Business Instead of Game, and Brooklyn Bandit are launching on July 26th. Each NFT features gorgeous images of Notorious B.I.G. dressed in exclusive wearables to his style. Each clothing item boasts its own rarity tier (common or uncommon), infusing top-notch rarity mechanics into the drop. The clothing pieces and accessories perfectly reveal Biggie's style, like, for example, ABE Teflon DON coat or Midnight Flat Cap.
On top of that, The Sky's The Limit NFT holders get the right to collectively license the exclusive Biggie's freestyles filmed on a Brooklyn street corner in 1997, which have never been mastered or published.
Furthermore, all minters are given access to the new Sky’s The Limit Collective. This community will decide together what artists, DJs, and musicians will be able to feature the rhymes in their own creative endeavors. All the proceeds from freestyles' licensing, sales, and streaming will go to fund the Sky’s The Limit Collective's initiatives.
In addition to licensing rights, the NFT provides its holders with VIP access to The Brook Metaverse, the VR space where all the Biggie's fandom can come together for exclusive parties, events, and experiences. The Brook Metaverse was designed to recreate the exterior of the street of Brooklyn, looking exactly as in B.I.G.'s times.
“Our platform puts fans in the driver’s seat of Biggie’s music and allows for endless creativity,” OneOf COO, Joshua James, commented on the initiative.
Are you one of Biggie's most avid fans? If so, mark your calendars for July 26th to be among the first NFT buyers.
