The first official Notorious B.I.G. NFT collection has been announced and a percentage of the proceeds will be going to the Christopher Wallace Memorial Foundation.
Green Web3 company OneOf is honoring Biggie’s life and legacy in collaboration with the Christopher Wallace Estate for a collection that will be minted on Tezos, which describes itself as “significantly more energy efficient” than competitors in the NFT space.
Voletta Wallace, Biggie’s mother, said in a statement, “We are excited about our partnership with OneOf and their expertise to memorialize my son Christopher with this first official NFT drop to allow his fans to participate in and honor their love of him and his music.”
The Biggie NFT collection concept was created by Willingie, Inc.’s Elliot Osagie and Voletta’s manager Wayne Barrow.
A press release stated that more details about the collection would be revealed soon, although a landing page has already been made live allowing fans to sign up for further updates.
According to OneOf co-founder and COO Josh James, it was an honor to work with Biggie‘s estate on a project honoring the rapper’s “incredible legacy“.
“Using NFT technology, Biggie’s legacy and his outsized impact on music and culture will be forever cemented on blockchain, to be honored and shared with fans around the world and for generations to come,” James added.
