Posted by While Tyler, The Creator and Polo G can’t see the appeal of getting involved in NFT’s, Snoop Dogg has been the cryptocurrency’s biggest Hip Hop supporter, announcing in February that as the new owner of Death Row Records he’d be turning the label into the first-ever NFT label.
“Death Row will be an NFT label,” he announced during a conversation with Weinbach Media founder Will Weinbach. “We will be putting out artists through the metaverse. Just like we broke the industry when we was the first independent to be major, I want to be the first major in the metaverse.”
Now, it seems Snoop Dogg is getting even deeper into the NFT game. MakersPlace, a crypto marketplace described as “the premier marketplace for rare and authentic digital artworks,” announced on Tuesday (March 15) they’re teaming up with the legendary West Coast rapper for a massive NFT collaboration called SUPERCUZZ. The NFT collection includes original artwork designed BossLogic that features animated comic book covers of Snoop Dogg as a beloved superhero.

Snoop stars as SUPERCUZZ, a flying superhero born in the streets of “Angel City.” According to the press release, Snoop is by day a “self-made crypto-trillionaire,” but by night he’s out on the street as SUPERCUZZ, “smoking the forces of evil and weeding out crime.” Cordell Broadus, Snoop’s son, handled the creative direction of the five creative covers. The NFT drop will also consist of unique voice animations created by Snoop Dogg as well as five graphic stills.
“Snoop Dogg and BossLogic are two iconic forces in their respective crafts and are both pioneers in the NFT space,” MakersPlace CEO Craig Palmer said in a statement. “We’re honored to host the release of SUPERCUZZ collection on MakersPlace and give art enthusiasts accessibility in purchasing NFT’s from their favorite creators.”
The NFT’s are set to drop on Thursday (March 17) at 3:30 p.m. PDT. Check out the covers below, and go to the MakersPlace website to learn more about the dop.
