Ice Cube said that many tried to rush him into the NFT space last year when the market was just beginning to take off but that he preferred to take his time and create something he would be proud of.
"While people tried to rush me into the NFT space when they first exploded almost a year ago, I wanted to do something legitimate and create artwork I would be as proud of 20 years from now as I am about these pieces today," said Ice Cube.
Ice Cube's collaborator and digital artist, Trevor Jones, said that Ice Cube's powerful message combined with his paintings has created a significant piece of art.
"With Ice Cube's lyrics and powerful message combined with my tech infused portrait paintings, this work is incredibly topical and culturally significant. It's been an absolute honor joining forces with Ice Cube and the result is an insightful testament to what can be achieved through creative collaboration."
The NFTs can be purchased on the Nifty Gateway platform using Ethereum, fiat, credit, debit or a wire. Those who win one of the four exclusive portraits will even get a 15-minute video call with Ice Cube and Jones.
