Features of NFTs Launched by Eminem
Additionally, the NFTs collection consists of Eminem’s original beats explicitly produced for the launch. The announcement stated that there are three types of NFTs up for sale. The first two NFTs have 50 editions each. They are titled “TOOLS OF THE TRADE” and “STILL D.G.A.F,” and they cost $5,000. The eventual buyers of the NFTs will receive physical prints, autographed by Eminem.
Speaking on his NFTs launch, Eminem said it has been “a lot of fun” coming up with ideas for the NFTs collection.
“I’ve been collecting since I was a kid, everything from comic books to baseball cards to toys, as well as every rap album on cassette I could get my hands on. Not much has changed for me as an adult…I’ve attempted to re-create some of those collections from that time in my life, and I know I’m not alone. I wanted to give this drop the same vibe of ‘Oh, man I gotta get just that one or maybe even the whole set!’ It’s been a lot of fun coming up with ideas from my own collecting passion.”
Ahead of the launch, Eminem released a guide titled “A GUIDE TO BUYING NFTS DURING EMINEM’S NIFTY GATEWAY SHADY CON DROP.”
Ashley Ramos, the senior producer at Nifty Gateway, expressed her excitement while welcoming Eminem on the platform. She said the platform is delighted to house the NFTs collection amid the growing demand for NFTs globally.
