JAY-Z x Derrick Adams - Heir To the Throne - An NFT, A Celebration of the 25th Anniversary of Reasonable Doubt
2021-07-21
On June 25, 1996, JAY-Z unleashed his platinum-plus debut album Reasonable Doubt, the searing autobiographical opus of a young kingpin from Brooklyn’s Marcy Houses as he stands on the precipice of surviving and – then - rewriting the game; upping lyrical antes across generations and genres; applying hustle to building empires; and unveiling an explosive new blueprint for greatness for the hip-hop world and beyond. Full of brash bravado, scorching wit, and sober reflection, Reasonable Doubt is widely acknowledged not only as a stunning debut, but as a powerful and influential document that continues to resonate 25 years after its release. From 25 June – 2 July, Sotheby’s and Roc Nation will celebrate the 25th anniversary of Reasonable Doubt with Heir to the Throne, a distinctive and original artwork created by renowned artist Derrick Adams and presented as a one-of-one NFT. Adams’ work reinterprets and recontextualizes the album cover to create a new contemporary take on a portrait that defined an era – as a comment and reminder that Reasonable Doubt remains vital and new today. Heir to the Throne marks the first-ever NFT for both JAY-Z and Derrick Adams. The one-of-one Heir to the Throne NFT is composed of a single animated digital artwork. The sale opens on June 25 at 10:00am ET with bidding starting at $1,000 and ends on July 2. A portion of the proceeds from the auction will benefit The Shawn Carter Foundation and support its mission to help individuals facing socio-economic hardships further their education at postsecondary institutions. Heir to the Throne is the only official event authorized by JAY-Z to commemorate Reasonable Doubt’s historic 25th anniversary and is being presented as a standalone online auction.

Then we painted it on the side of the London transport system while dodging laser tripwires, razor-sharp fences, Spit, Police & the mighty electric rails Then came the 90s & we were exploring high-rise London tower blocks to set up our pirate radio stations 🔊 to broadcast our music over London while 1000s of happy people were raving in dark sweaty clubs & muddy fields to REAL DJs with boxes of 12" vinyl Now we are here in Decentraland and we bringing our street art & music royalty to the mighty Metaverse Kingdom urban colorful artworks will be blasted over the virtual walls by many world renowned underground street artists who have been in the game since the early 80s & are now ready for the blockchain limelight.
