“#JAY-Z Auctioning Reasonable Doubt NFT at Sotheby\u2019s<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a new item on auction at Sotheby\u2019s<\/a>: a non-fungible token created to celebrate the 25th anniversary of JAY-Z\u2019s debut Reasonable Doubt<\/em>. JAY-Z commissioned the NFT from the Baltimore-born, Brooklyn-based multi-disciplinary artist Derrick Adams<\/a>. It\u2019s called Heir to the Throne<\/em><\/a>, and you can preview a static image of the NFT below. The bidding starts at $1,000, and the auction closes on Friday morning, July 2; a portion of the proceeds from the auction will benefit the Shawn Carter Foundation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith this NFT project, we jointly embrace the opportunity to further the conversation about how artists of different mediums contribute to a more inclusive society,\u201d Derrick Adams said in a statement. \u201cMy portraits aim to capture the sensibility, optimism and beauty of urban life, and in JAY\u2019s work I\u2019ve found tremendous kinship.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cassandra Hatton, Sotheby\u2019s Global Head of Science<\/a> and Popular Culture, said, \u201cIt\u2019s fitting that JAY-Z\u2019s pioneering lyrical brilliance is commemorated through the iconic vision of acclaimed artist Derrick Adams in a bold new medium.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last week, Roc-A-Fella Records sued co-founder Damon Dash, alleging that Dash could not sell or auction his own Reasonable Doubt<\/em> NFT, as the rights to the record belong to the label. Dash claimed<\/a> that the lawsuit was filled with inaccuracies, but, days later, TMZ<\/a> reported that a federal judge found JAY-Z and Roc-A-Fella Records\u2019 claims to be \u201ccredible and correct.\u201d The judge also said Dash \u201chas no right to sell the album or any rights to it,\u201d according to Music Business Worldwide<\/a>.<\/p>\n
