\nSPECIAL NFT COLLECTION FOR CHARITY\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Metaverse Creative Studio and\u00a0Hip-Hop Legend\u00a0Team Up on
\nBIT BUTTS NFTs to End\u00a0Colorectal Cancer\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

META-X Studios, the\u00a0Metaverse-native development home to NFTs, blockchain games, and film and television projects has partnered with hip hop legend, Sir\u00a0Mix-A-Lot to launch a collection of 6,666 unique, hand-drawn NFTs.\u00a0BIT BUTTS<\/em>\u00a0is a fun and irreverent NFT drop that\u00a0unites some of Hollywood\u2019s top creative talent with\u00a0the Billboard-topping rapper and producer to raise money for and awareness of colorectal cancer research and\u00a0prevention.<\/p>\n

BIT BUTTS\u00a0<\/em>is a \u201ccheeky\u201d bit of good-natured collectible fun\u00a0that also celebrates the 30th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary of Sir Mix-A-Lot\u2019s iconic #1 single \u201cBaby Got Back\u201d and benefits one of the most under-funded cancer charities. Unlike BIT BUTTS, colorectal cancer isn\u2019t funny; it impacts more than 150,000 Americans each year. Black communities are at particular\u00a0\u00a0risk, facing the highest incidence and mortality rates. With\u00a0BIT BUTTS<\/em>, baby gives back a portion of each proudly minted tush to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to ending this life-threatening disease.<\/p>\n

BIT BUTTS<\/em>\u00a0will be released later this month at NFT-LA in a limited collection drop of 6,666 hand-sketched, hand-colored and hand-assembled, completely unique digital derri\u00e8res created by world-class animation artists.\u00a0\u00a0Sir Mix-A-Lot, the hip hop icon who once proudly announced to the world that \u201che likes big butts, and he cannot lie\u201d, has personally designed the rarest\u00a0BIT BUTTS<\/em>\u00a0in the collection.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the team at META-X showed me what they were doing it was a no brainer for me,\u201d laughs Sir Mix-A-Lot. \u201cAnd as an artist entering this new medium of NFTs, the idea of designing my own branded butts was exciting.\u00a0\u00a0Add to it the benefit of raising funds for a great cause like Colorectal Cancer, and wow! I hope everyone enjoys grabbing onto some nice NFT booty while helping others at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNFTs are a supercharged media for storytellers\u201d says META-X Studios CEO Joe Sichta. \u201cWe chose\u00a0BIT BUTTS<\/em>\u00a0as our debut launch because we all need a good laugh right now for a good cause.\u00a0\u00a0Working with Sir Mix-a-Lot and the Colorectal Cancer Alliance was the perfect fit to showcase our firepower as an NFT creative factory, while raising awareness of a serious issue that can be embarrassing to talk about. We\u2019re out to de-stigmatize colorectal cancer with a bit of ridiculous fun, and to donate a portion of the proceeds to support the work of the Alliance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are honored that META-X Studios has chosen to support the Alliance and a cause that touches millions of lives \u2014 the mission is to end colorectal cancer through preventive screenings and cutting-edge treatment.\u00a0BIT BUTTS<\/em>\u00a0will start conversations, heighten awareness of this disease, and support programs for patients that will save lives,\u201d said Michael Sapienza, CEO of Colorectal Cancer Alliance.<\/p>\n

NFT collectors, music fans, art and animation lovers, and all those who don\u2019t take themselves too seriously are encouraged to join the META-X Studio\u2019s\u00a0Discord channel<\/a>\u00a0for special whitelist access to mint when the collection is released during the NFT-LA event, taking place March 28-31.<\/p>\n
