4 min readMar 3, 2021

On Thursday March 4, multi-platinum recording artist Tory Lanez will drop 3 unreleased songs as NFT’s, powered by Bondly Finance. This unorthodox approach prior to Tory’s album, “Playboy,” pairs rare digital art with music where fan’s and NFT collectors are able to prove ownership of these items through the blockchain.

By taking this approach, Tory becomes the most popular artist to release songs as non-fungible tokens (NFT’s) prior to the album’s release on other digital platforms.

Who is Tory Lanez?

Tory Lanez is an independent Billboard 100 rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer from Canada. He received initial recognition from his early mixtapes, quickly gaining fame and recognition for his mix of hip-hop and R&B. His music receives over 18,000,000 monthly listeners on Spotify alone and his recent collaborations include Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, and more.

“This album is one of the biggest releases of my career, so I had to make the release strategy bigger than ever” says Tory Lanez. “This meant getting the tracks to my superfans early before the album hits on Friday. So I’m dropping my first NFT, allowing 450 fans to get 3 unreleased tracks from my discography and a chance to meet and hang out with me digitally.”

What NFTs is Tory Lanez Selling?

Bondly is partnering with Tory Lanez to release limited edition NFTs for Tory’s upcoming album, Playboy.

Tory will be releasing 3 Limited Edition NFTs, each paired with full length unreleased songs.

The first 2 tracks are unreleased records from Tory’s upcoming album, Playboy, which releases Friday, March 5th. The final track is an unreleased record off Tory’s future 80’s themed album, which is yet to be announced.

Each of these NFT’s will give exclusive access to his unreleased music and ownership of unique art before it’s shared with the world.

This is just the start of the relationship between Bondly Finance and Tory. Bondly expects to release additional unreleased Tory Lanez tracks in the future and are excited to execute the initial release of 3 songs.

Quotes:

“Tory and Bondly only came together a few days ago,” says Bondly CEO Brandon Smith. “This two day campaign turn around is unprecedented but our visions align and we didn’t want to miss the opportunity to release a few of his tracks before “Playboy” comes out and felt like this was a great time to start building Tory’s foundation in the NFT collectible space. These steps will shine a light on Tory and position him as a pioneer in dropping limited NFT songs prior to album releases.”
