<p><a href="https://twitter.com/NakamotosOnBTC" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">NakaPepes</a> has tuned in with Wu-Tang Clans <a href="https://twitter.com/GhostfaceKillah" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Ghostface Killah</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/ScrillaVentura" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Rare Scrilla</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/ordinalsbot" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Ordinals Bot</a> to airdrop 10,000 music-infused Bitcoin Ordinals on April 11 (about an hour after this story is published).</p>
<p>NakaPepes North American-based team, <a href="https://twitter.com/TeddyBitcoins" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Teddy Bitcoins</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/JimmyToussaint" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Jimmy Toussaint</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/MblingBrdFrk" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Mumbling Bearded Freak</a>, are the lead creators and executive directors behind the famous rapper inscribing his latest tracks on the Bitcoin network.</p>
<p>We have always tried to pay homage to Bitcoin history and culture in our collections. What better way to combine these two than one of the premier Bitcoin artists collabing with one of the most iconic cultural figures in recent decades? says NakaPepes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>NakaPepes expresses how these free-to-mint collectibles are Open Editions, owing to the drops limited supply, with one piece of art and music attached.&nbsp;</p>
<p>It is the original NFTs on Bitcoin where both Scrilla and Ghostface started in the NFT space, the team adds.</p>

<p>Interestingly, these NFTs open up novel avenues for owners, who will gain Creative Commons (CCO) rights. This means they can build, use and share Ghostface Killahs music however they wish, provided its utilized in the blockchain space.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://twitter.com/SaraSBaumann" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sara Baumamm (Sparky)</a>, the creative mind behind <a href="https://womenandweapons.io/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Women and Weapons</a> (WaW), is an artist advocating for real-world utility and change through NFTs.</p>
<p>Though some viewers may initially perceive WaWs artworks as expressing violence, owing to showcasing images of women holding weapons a bit too close to faces and necks for comfort, the hidden agenda of these digital assets is, in fact, the opposite. Or at least different.</p>
<p>Through juxtaposing the harsh imagery of weapons with traditional femininity, the WaW collection delves into the inherent strength and symbolic power of women, exploring the deeper, often unseen, forces they wield in their daily lives, Sparky explains.</p>
<p>Since WaWs 2021 debut, the project has witnessed notable success. Early sales donated $170,000 to the <a href="https://malala.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Malala Fund</a> to aid womens education, with secondary sales currently amounting to an impressive $18.8 million on <a href="https://opensea.io/collection/womenandweapons" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">OpenSea</a> and still expanding.&nbsp;</p>
<p>As an avid NFT collector herself, Sparky has a collection of NFTs that align with WaWs ethos, like <a href="https://twitter.com/worldofwomennft" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">World of Women</a> (WoW) and <a href="https://twitter.com/veefriends" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">VeeFriends</a>, in her wallet.&nbsp;</p>
