06/08/2021 Tory Lanez to Sell 1 Million Copies of New Album ‘When It’s Dark’ Through NFT

Tory Lanez is not shying away from making sure he continues to do business as usual, despite the controversy surrounding the Megan Thee Stallion incident.

Today, it has been announced that the rapper-singer will release his new album titled When It’s Dark as the “first-ever music streaming NFT.” The collaboration is with Emmersive Entertainment, a subsidiary of Vinco Ventures, Inc., founded by FloRida, David J. Kovacs and Erik Hicks.

Fans will be able to pre-order his album beginning at 5 pm today (August 4th) on e-nft.com ahead of its official launch on August 10th. The price of the album is set at $1 and will be inclusive of 7 new songs along with 7 art pieces.

Only one million copies of When It’s Dark will be sold. After that, the album will only be available if buyers resell their E-NFT rights in the album. From there, the market will determine the price depending on the re-sale value.

“First and foremost, I put blood, sweat and tears into creating my music, because delivering the highest quality of music is paramount for me,” said Tory Lanez about the venture. “I couldn’t be more excited to have a platform from Emmersive Entertainment that allows my fans and collectors alike to not only hear my music, but become entrepreneurs as well if they choose to, by having the ability to resell and set their own price on the open market. This allows for a completely different kind of fan engagement, which is the next iteration of the music industry, an absolute paradigm shift. I’m proud to be in partnership with a team that fully supports my vision.”

Last week, Tory dropped an EP called We Outside to celebrate his birthday. Earlier this week, Cassidy dissed Tory because he thinks the Canadian artist stole his lyrics for Funk Flex freestyles.

Block Chain Dungeon
Once upon a time... a little boy named Leo loved to paint, draw and experiment. He also loved to play with blocks and chains, which drew him again and again into the rooms of his friends Michel and Angelo. Often they also met in virtual rooms of Cryptovoxels, Decentraland, Somnium Space or Sandbox to create new inventions, read books about new technologies, or just swing the brushes. But on this day something gigantic happened. A good friend of Leo came to visit and brought his girlfriend Mona, who wanted a piece of Leo's art on her skin. This was the birth of the NFT's, as Leo developed Non Fungible Tattoos in the Block Chain Dungeon of Michel and Angelo. From that day on people from all over the world came to get NFT's from Leo or one of his students, like "Skeenee the rat", who controls the NFT machine with his laptop. A new age began.
Genesis
José Delbo sent me his striking pencil sketch and powerful inked work, which I then interpreted in oil on canvas. I wanted to create a very painterly piece with obvious brush marks etc, but I was also aiming for a nostalgic feel, a kind of 1980’s superhero comic book look, the kind I grew up with. My goal with this animation was to try to recreate, in part, the creative process that both artists went through with the visual information I had. I was able to showcase my painting process more accurately as I could take photographs of my progress throughout. Consecutive images could then be layered like brush strokes over José’s drawing to create the impression that this was one continuous artwork from pencil, to ink, to completed painting. The representation of the line sketch at the beginning, then pencil/ink and lastly the paint layers being applied demonstrate both artists’ struggle for the right lines, tone, form, and colour until the work is finally completed. As the oil was still wet with each photograph the glare of my studio lights can be seen in the brush strokes. Eventually, the figure emerges and as it does, our hero comes to life, looking directly at the viewer -- but is he grimacing in approval or disgust? We will never know for sure as just before he can say anything, white paint is brushed across the canvas entirely and the process begins again. Only the bat is quick enough to escape.
