In fact, the NFTs are paired with exclusive tracks from the two artists that are based on the Bored Ape Yacht Club collection. However, it is not specified whether the songs will carry any streaming royalties.

The sale for the SnoopAndWiz collection will end approximately 17 hours after this article has been published.

While most rappers choose to ride the BAYC wave, other artists decided to build their own NFT projects. Back in January, New York’s rap legend Nas launched his music-based NFT collection with a percentage of streaming royalties given to the owners.

ApeCoin has been on a quite stable trajectory since its release, with a 3.58% decrease over the past 24 hours, averaging $13.29 per token.
