The official UREEQA posting details the available content, which includes a making-of video, an autographed CD with a personal message, a live stream during an upcoming Burden Of Plugs concert, a one-on-one Zoom call with Benny, and the grand prize — an all-access pass during one of the final Burden Of Plugs tour (selected by The Butcher’s team), which includes a personal meeting with The Butcher.

“This NFT collection is a chance to give back to the fans that have been down with me since day one,” explains Benny the Butcher, speaking on his motivation behind launching his first NFT. “I wanted to do something that would be exclusive to my core fans and connect with them in a way that hasn’t been possible until now.”
