Beeple Spring NFT Collection 2021
American digital artist Beeple @beeple, best known for his $69 million NFT auction, is releasing his spring/summer NFT collection in a raffle style drop, with tickets starting at $1. Different from a normal NFT auction, participants must answer questions about the Everydays project before their entry is accepted.
“This is my 13th year of everydays without missing a single day. Each one of these pictures was done start to finish that day and posted on the internet before midnight,” writes Beeple. To see more information about the NFT drop, visit the official website here.
Eminem $1.78M NFT Collection
American rapper Eminem @Eminem has dropped his first NFT collection which generated over $1.7 million. Titled ‘Shady Con’, the collection features digital action figures based on characters in some of Eminem’s best-known music videos.
“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,” said Eminem. The drop also includes an original instrumental beat produced by Eminem himself, specifically for this release. The track titled ‘STANS’ REVENGE’ was sold at auction for $100,000.
