Poised to usher in a new edge in the music and overall art scene, the NFT trend is fast picking up big momentum in the contemporary music industry. A rising number of music artists are fast embracing the NFT world and some of them are even generating millions of dollars with NFT collections. The latest to join the NFT bandwagon is none other than world-famous rap star Busta Rhymes. The rap icon has forayed into the NFT scene with a cutting-edge music-based NFT portal, The HUSL, and has already launched his maiden NFT collection on The HUSL, namely “Dungeon Dragon”. The HUSL is owned by NFT expert Varun Bajaj and Busta has joined the team as one of the chief advisors.
One of the most loved and revered names in the hip-hop world, Busta Rhymes is certainly one of the greatest visual music artists to be born ever. He claimed fame with his platinum-selling album (released in 1996), “The Coming”. His other much-loved projects are “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See”, “Woo Hah! Got You All in Check”, “Gimme Some More”, “Dangerous”, and more.
His latest NFT launch, “Dungeon Dragon”, is a homage to the rap star’s illustrious journey and has been exclusively released for The HUSL.
It’s to stress here that Dungeon Dragon is an extremely special release for the rap icon. The hip-hop great came to be known by this special moniker, Dungeon Dragon when he got separated from the previous band (read 16 bars). The special name brought the young musician immense success as well as empowered him to evolve into the rap legend that he is today.
Speaking on Dungeon Dragon, Busta said that the composition defines a very important part of his life and represents the star that people know of today. As mentioned before, the moniker was adopted by Busta during his initial days as a young emerging musician and hence the recent release too echoes the same passion and fire that made him a rap icon over the years.
The Dungeon Dragon NFT Collection includes as many as 3 NFTs- Silver, Gold, and Red. The three versions have been priced differently as well as carrying a bunch of amazing hidden rewards. Besides, 10 percent of every Tier collector would be rewarded with exciting perks such as Busta’s autographed memorabilia, Zoom calls with the great himself, and so on.
NFTs are Non Fungible Tokens that serve as “distinct” and “verifiable” representation of assets that are linked to them, say music singles in this case. The NFTs are based on immutable blockchain infrastructure which assures the asset linked to it can’t be hacked or manipulated. Another great advantage is that The NFT platforms facilitate a direct connection between artists and fans. In other words, revolutionary NFT portals like The HUSL have removed the concept of middlemen, enabling direct communication between legends like Busta Rhymes and his fans.
Busta took to Twitter to announce the launch of his NFT collection and his recent foray into the NFT scene has been embraced widely across the crypto scene. Leading crypto expert Sydney Ifergan was one of the first ones to buy the NFT collection.
Expressing his love and admiration for the rap legend, Mr. Ifergan posted on Twitter that he has always been a great fan of Busta Rhymes and wanted to give his NFT collection a shot, out of his deep reverence for him. Busta appreciated Sydney’s tweet and the rap legend even replied back to Mr. Ifergan expressing his appreciation.
