Artists are consistently looking for new ways to innovate, and for many, the rise of Non Fungible Tokens opened the door to a variety of exciting opportunities. Today, Benny The Butcher has confirmed that he’ll be launching his first-ever NFT collection commemorating two years of The Plugs I Met, originally released on June 21st, 2019.
For the occasion, The Butcher will be delivering The Plugs I Met – 2nd Anniversary Edition, available exclusively at the UREEQA Marketplace. The auction is set to take place on Thursday, August 12th, granting fans the opportunity to personally connect with The Butcher and more.

“This NFT collection is a chance to give back to the fans that have been down with me since day one,” explains Benny the Butcher, speaking on his motivation behind launching his first NFT. “I wanted to do something that would be exclusive to my core fans and connect with them in a way that hasn’t been possible until now.”
