The famous crypto-punk rapper Spottie Wifi uses his new album The King’s Alpha as a declaration that solidifies his presence in rap culture beyond the metaverse. In 2021, Spottie caught the attention of the rap world when he sold 2000 NFT albums generating $192K in under sixty seconds as an independent artist. Last year, he proved his time in rap is more than a “fifteen minutes of fame” scenario by releasing songs with the likes of Bun B and Bart Oatmeal (NBA legend Baron Davis metaverse character).
The King’s Alpha is a ten-track biography of how Spottie influenced the metaverse/cryptocurrency wave into the rap industry. The opening track has Snoop Dogg giving his praise to Spottie Wifi as an inspiration for getting him familiar with blockchain and NFTs. Bun B flips the term NFT as he rapped “To me an NFT means Nobody Fuckin’ Triller” and raps about making financial moves in the cryptocurrency sector.
Prior to the album release, Spottie and Jim Jones released the visual for their collaboration “Buy The Dips”. Jim Jones is a known supporter of the cryptocurrency space and even premiered a video for “We Set The Trends” with Migos in 2022 in the metaverse. “Buy The Dips” is a message to the hip-hop culture that the metaverse and cryptocurrency can last in the post-COVID world.
Additional features include Gold-Rilla, DJ Mal-Ski, Champ Medici, October London, We$, Alan Kingdom, Alec King, Bart Oatmeal, and Psalm One.
