Snoop Dogg NFT passport lets fans tour with the rapper in digital form

Rap icon and entrepreneur Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., more commonly known as Snoop Dogg, dives into Web3 once again with a nonfungible token (NFT) project that will allow his fans to follow his life on tour.

In an announcement, the rapper unveiled the Snoop Dogg Passport Series, an NFT collection that provides access to various content, such as behind-the-scenes videos and photos uploaded by Snoop Dogg while on tour. Holders of the NFT passport will also be eligible for future releases like artwork and merchandise.

According to the rapper, he’s long been “pushing things forward” and believes digital merch is a part of the future. He also encouraged other artists to follow his steps: “I’m hoping other artists can see what I’m doing and continue to innovate on their own,” Snoop Dogg said in a statement.

The project was developed in collaboration with the Web3 platform Transient Labs. Chris Ostoich, the company’s chief operating officer, said that it is always looking for ways to leverage blockchain to “offer unique experiences,” and the partnership with Snoop Dogg enables it to do this.
