5,555 Generative Mixtapes representing hip-hop culture on the Ethereum blockchain. The Mixtapes is a collection of 5,555 generative NFTs, representing a love of hip-hop, and the culture surrounding it! This project highlights the 4 Elements of hip-hop; the graff writer, the b-boy/girl, the MC, and the DJ, plus the lesser talked about, but equally important, 5th Element, the photographer. Those such as Ernie Paniccioli, Janette Beckman, Danny Hastings, and the late great Chi Modu and Ricky Powell, had the foresight to document the growing movement, and helped to bring it to the rest of the world’s attention. All 5 Elements are essential to the culture that is known as hip-hop, and this collection aims to pay tribute to the greats! Every trait, with the exception of the backgrounds, are composed of 5 layers, allowing for a multi-layered stencil to be created for a physical copy of your NFT to be produced. There are special editions which get you full or partial access to all utility, including free merch, access at shows, and physical art, among other things to be announced.
