NFTs have become one of the persistent trends of the cryptocurrency market since the 2021 bull. Digital artworks and investment opportunities have caught the attention of investors around the world. In the rest of the article, we included 5 crypto money and NFT projects in cooperation with legendary rapper Snoop Dogg, one of the advertising faces of the NFT market.
Here’s a look at all the cryptocurrency and NFT projects Snoop Dogg is involved in
Leading celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Justin Bieber, Cristiano Ronaldo, Mike Tyson have focused on crypto and NFT projects in recent years. However, one of the prominent names in crypto circles is Snoop Dogg. The superstar rapper, actor, and entrepreneur has announced several NFT and crypto startups over the past few years and is slowly building a Web3 empire.
One of his first forays into the cryptocurrency market was an NFT collection called “A Journey with Dogg.” The collection was created by Crypto.com and was released in March 2021. It consisted of eight original artworks inspired by Snoop’s iconic life memories. It also included an original song called “Diamond Joint” and a limited edition “Snoop Dogge Coins”. The collection was also for a good cause, with some of the sales proceeds going to emerging artists in the Web3 space and the rapper’s Youth Football League.
Sandbox and Snoopverse collaboration
A few months after the above NFT launches, in September 2021, Snoop Dogg partnered with metaverse gaming platform Sandbox to build a private virtual world called Snoopverse. The project would create a mini virtual world in the Sandbox ecosystem with Snoop-Dogg inspired avatars, 122 parcels of digital terrain and 67 premium terrains and NFT packages available for purchase.
One of these plans was a virtual version of Snoop’s real mansion in California. According to reports, a user paid $450,000 for one of these plots just to be Snoop’s neighbor in this virtual world. By December of the same year, Snoop had released early access ‘passes’ to this virtual world. These transitions allowed users to be involved in the development of this virtual world, including early access to their avatars, plots, and more. The crossovers found 3,000 buyers.
Snoop brings Death Row to Blockchain
In February 2022, Snoop Dogg announced that he had purchased Death Row records. At the same time, the rapper also announced the release of his twentieth studio album BODR (Bacc On Death Row), which was released on a chain. The songs in this album were released as “Stash Box” NFTs. Each NFT was 1 of 17 songs on the album. The collection was also extremely special and the Stash Box NFT count was 25,000.
Snoop’s NFT collection on Cardano
In April 2022, Snoop announced a collaboration with Clay Nation to launch an NFT collection on Cardano. The collection was called “Baked Nation” and consisted of 10,000 visual representations of handmade Snoop-Dogg-inspired clay figurines. The partnership also saw the creation of a custom map within the Clayverse.
Thanks to the project, Snoop-Dogg became one of the first to launch an NFT collection on Cardano. At the time, Ethereum was the leading platform for NFTs, and other networks like Solana and Cardano are still finding their footing in the NFT space.
Doggies NFTs
In his second collaboration with Sandbox, Snoop Dogg has released an NFT collection called The Doggies. It consisted of 10,000 human, alien, zombie, dog and other avatars modeled after Snoop himself. The base price of each NFT was $460, which was quite modest at the time. Therefore, the entire collection was sold out in a short time. The collection also featured a rare 1-for-1 artwork that sold for 29 ETH, which is around $47,657 at current prices. Snoop Dogg also auctioned off his special NFT #6098 from the collection and donated the proceeds to Ukraine.
Other notable and recent efforts
On March 1, Snoop Dogg announced his partnership with Roobet, a crypto casino gaming platform. Through this partnership, Roobet hopes to leverage the rapper’s fan base to increase the platform’s user base. There are also plans for various raffle events as part of the collaboration.
