According to reports, the NFT will give fans the chance to obtain streaming royalty rights to Nas’s King’s Disease and King’s Disease II tracks, “Ultra Black” and “Rare.”
Nas shared a comment via Complex on the partnership.
“I am always looking for new and unique ways to connect with the people. So I am excited to partner with Royal on their new endeavor in order for the world to connect with my music in a new way.”
In total, the Hip Hop legend will be giving up 50-percent of his streaming rights for each of those songs.
