The ever-expansive world cryptocurrency continues to have an influence in the hip-hop community.
In the latest development, it's been announced that the estate Ol Dirty Bastard is teaming with Link Media Partners to launch Dirty Coin, and ODB-branded form cryptocurrency and blockchain technology-based products for the estate's future musical projects, specifically, those involving ODB's rapper son Young Dirty.
The ODB token is also set to go live on the TAO Network Symbol: XTO] and be traded on AltMarket, which is Link Media Partners' exclusive cryptocurrency partner.
“Music thrives creatively and financially when it’s in the hands the artist themselves," said AltMarket CEO, Bryce Weiner. "By removing the price tag experimentation, we’re able to deliver for both the artist and their fans."
Soon, fans will be able to use the Dirty Coin to get access to shows, tours, exclusive merchandise from both the estate ODB and his son, who supports Bitcoin wholeheartedly.
"Bitcoin is the future money and all the fans want a part the future Ol' Dirty Bastard. In the past, Dad's music was ahead its time, so it makes sense that he would be ahead the technology money now,” Young Dirty said in a statement.
The folks at Link Media Partners' "music and infrastructure" without the help a record label. His new projects will be announced this summer, and the release plans surrounding his debut album will be among the revelations. Keep an eye out for that.
