Notorious B.I.G. Immortalized in Ethereum Metaverse Game The Sandbox
The estate of 90s rapper The Notorious B.I.G. is doing another crypto collaboration—this time, with the metaverse platform The Sandbox.
There’s now a Notorious B.I.G. experience in The Sandbox metaverse, thanks to a collaboration between the game, the late rapper’s label Warner Music Group, and his estate, the metaverse platform announced Monday.
The Brooklyn, New York-inspired area in The Sandbox pays homage to the late rapper, born Christoper Wallace, who rose to fame in the 1990s before his death in 1997. The Sandbox B.I.G. experience, dubbed “Breakin’ B.I.G.,” allows players to meet the rapper’s non-playable avatar likeness in a “2D, arcade-style world” and navigate various quests as an up-and-coming rap star, according to the announcement.
Quests include tasks like helping out around the virtual Brooklyn community and confronting B.I.G.’s rivals in The Sandbox, to name a few.
