The collection will feature 3D avatars inspired by his life and work, and will uniquely include the right for each NFT holder to collectively license the audio of Biggie Smalls’ most famous freestyle, filmed on a street corner in Brooklyn when he was 17. Until now the freestyle has never been officially released or made available for other musicians to sample and use in their songs.
With the approval and oversight of the collective (and estate), musicians will be able to license Smalls’ iconic freestyle and include it in their own recordings. The song can also be released on music streaming sites with a “featuring The Notorious B.I.G.” credit in the song title.
The Sky’s The Limit is the first official NFT collection from Christopher Wallace (aka the Notorious B.I.G.) and comprises 3,000 unique generative art pieces featuring Biggie’s authentic styles from his life and lyrics. Each NFT grants holders membership to the Sky’s The Limit Collective where members hold 100% voting rights on which artists, DJs, and musicians can remix or sample Biggie’s iconic “Fulton Street Freestyle”. All licensing, sales, and streaming revenue from the use of the freestyle will be returned directly to the Collective to invest in future music projects, NFT collections, IRL events, other VIP activations, and more.
In this project, I not only contributed, but also oversaw the design and production of these individual assets, but the combination generative render of hundreds of one-of-a-kind digital assets.
