In partnership with Gemini owned Nifty Gateway, rapper artist Eminem has unveiled his first series of NFTs at Shady Con. The renowned artist that goes under the name Marshall Mathers, is the latest celebrity joining the NFT craze. Eminem’s first NFT collection was released on Sunday.
Three types of NFTs were up for sale. Each of the NFTs offer high-quality animations and an original beat produced by Eminem himself. Two NFTs have 50 editions available, and these are titled “TOOLS OF THE TRADE” and “STILL D.G.A.F”. They were priced at $5,000 each. These editions include a physical print and are autographed by the artist. The third NFT is called “STAN’S REVENGE,” and is a limited edition and will auctioned to the highest bidder.
Eminem confirmed the release of his NFTs in a statement on his official website.
“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,” the rapper said.
Senior Producer at Nifty Gateway, Ashley Ramos commented on the cooperation:
“We’re thrilled to welcome Eminem to our platform. Demand for NFTs continues to grow and we’re excited to bring this collaboration to our community and give them access to new artwork and music on Nifty Gateway’s marketplace.”
On his Twitter page, Eminem shared a recent Saturday Night Live (SNL) skit which featured the rapper being played by one of the SNL cast. The skit explained NFTs to the tune of Eminem’s classic ‘Without Me’.
Eminem joins a rich line-up of musicians that have already released NFTs. Some of who went before him include Snoop Dogg, Weezer, Aphex Twin, The White Stripes, and Kings of Leon.
