Hip-hop Standouts Buda & Grandz to Drop NFT Collection With Enticing Utility on the UREEQA Marketplace October 19th
A hip-hop producing/mixing duo based out of New York City, Buda & Grandz have been hands-on in the East Coast and West Coast hip-hop scene for decades at almost every level, from underground to the mainstream. Together, the team has produced hit songs for popular artists like 2Chainz, Rick Ross, Young MA, Dave East, 50 Cent, Wyclef, The Game, Lloyd Banks and the legendary Nipsey Hussle, just to name a few.
And now, they’re taking their talents to the NFT realm with an upcoming drop on the UREEQA Marketplace that will be devoted heavily to offering fresh and unique experiences to their loyal fans.
Buda & Grandz’s NFT collection will focus on providing exclusive utilities that allow fans to engage with them as Creators while they do what they do best — produce! In fact, you could even gain an opportunity to produce alongside the dynamic duo!
Perks include the following:
● A one hour virtual production session with Buda & Grandz themselves
● One fully-produced mixed and mastered production (track will be pitched to A&Rs and artists for possible placement)
● One 15-second commemorative audio .wav clip attached to the NFT
● A Steel Sessions Hat
● A Steel Sessions hoodie (sequential numbering)
● A Steel Sessions t-shirt
“This NFT drop is designed to give back to our community through the opportunity to work with us directly in the process of creating,” the B&G team said in a statement. “Our NFT is very special to us. Purchasers will own a piece of our creative history, which means everything to us. And we’re involving the consumer personally, which makes this very personal in the creative space of intellectual property and ownership.”
Buda added that the duo has had plenty of its music stolen and used without their permission. He and Grandz are dropping with UREEQA because they respect what the platform is doing for Creators in this and every other creative industry.
“UREEQA is a trailblazer in the NFT space,” Buda said. “The versatility in their portfolio of releases is impressive, and they’ve taken a big step in supporting the hip-hop community.”
The drop comes on the heels of historic UREEQA-validated releases from popular Brazilian guitarist Kiko Pereira of Roupa Nova, acclaimed rapper/songwriter Benny the Butcher and the legendary Império Serrano samba school, which released the world’s first Brazilian Carnival NFT on the UREEQA Marketplace.
“We’re heartened that so many talented and renowned Creators continues to utilize our platform and our Marketplace to validate and release their NFTs,” UREEQA CEO Kirk Fergusson said. “Buda & Grandz are special talents, and we’re fired up about this drop. We look forward to helping them and their fans connect in a whole new way, and there’s plenty more of that to come in the coming weeks and months.”
About UREEQA
The UREEQA platform strives to protect Creators’ work, their rights and their revenue by harnessing the power of blockchain technology.
Established in Canada in 2020, UREEQA will modernize the inefficient and bureaucratic systems currently in place for copyright, patent, industrial design and trademark protection. By building a robust and compelling Package of Proof for source creative work, UREEQA only mints Validated NFTs to represent creative rights. This helps keep buyers safe by giving them confidence that the work they are purchasing was minted by the smart contract approved by the Creator of the work and is therefore authentic.
