Method Man jumps into the worlds of comic books and non-fungible tokens at the same time. 

According to a Friday (Aug. 6) report from Rolling Stone, the Wu-Tang Clan rapper is launching a comic series called Tical World through NFT. Artist Alex Smetsky is handling the illustrations, which are Killer Beez-inspired. The NFT features 3D digital animation and an unreleased song from Meth. All in all, it sounds pretty dope.

Method Man is far from the first musician to jump into NFTs. Back in June, JAY-Z celebrated the 25th anniversary of his debut album, Reasonable Doubt, with a special NFT auction. Last month, SZA teamed up with American Express to unload her own special NFT collection that included exclusive concert footage and rare photos. A few months before that, The Weeknd released his own NFT that included included exclusive music. 

This new venture is another sign of Meth trying out new things. Since bursting onto the scene with Wu-Tang Clan nearly 30 years ago, he’s flexed an inimitable package of style and substance that’s made him a superstar. In the intervening years, he obviously jumped into an acting career and various other ventures. Recently, a couple of those ventures would be converging into one another. 

In May, it was reported Method Man’s entertainment production company SIX AM would be producing How High 3, a sequel to two previous Meth and Redman-starring stoner flicks. How High 2 starred Lil Yachty and DC Young Fly. Now, at some point in the future, Meth and Redman will be teaming up on the big screen once again. 

Now, Meth’s got a new comic series and he’s releasing it in a way no one expected. Salute, and stay tuned for more updates on the rap legend.

The Scion
A young figure caught in a moment of distraction, aware only ephemerally of his unconscious being, as it engages in psychological and psychedelic layer spaces. His right arm casually cradles a moray eel; the figure is comfortable but not truly aware of the potentials for danger in such negligence. His shirt reads “Bello” in Pokemon style font, harkening back to a childhood straddling the millennial threshold. To his right side, out of the unconscious deep, shrouded alien heads propagate as a fractal totem, each new iteration a more sophisticated rendering of emotional masking over the cold mystery of the greys. As the scion of the Budgie-Sattva, the young man, in his distraction, is also simultaneously aware of higher levels of self discovery. To his left a psychological topology sets beneath the oracle side of an 8 ball ,hovering; its message a purest concept of acceptance. The “Scion” lettering is in 80’s HeMan style bold declaration. The lower right side of the painting is like a hybrid of melon, feathers, and seeds. The crystals in the background bring light; conducted, refracted, reflected, and dispersed, to balance the dark shadow of the figure’s physical body. The aura of the scion succeeds in layers to point, with a finger, and the crown chakra, toward a center of a mandala existing as nigh pure application of strokes, in essence painterly abstraction, but also revealing hints of the Aura of migraine, and the bi-hemispherical nature of the brain–noting concerns of the possibility of inherited mental disease. Yet the flourish of chakra as it sets against that center is robust, active, coherent, and reveling against all fear. Fundamentally, the piece speaks to the activation of one’s potential to begin to “Know Thyself”, and find greater awareness out of the enigmas of the mind–as an inculcated seed given to the rich soil of one’s own birthright.
