This week Nas, one of the most prolific lyricist and successful artists in the music industry, sold his firs first digital music royalty drop in seconds on Royal. The demand was so overwhelming that their site crashed minutes after the drop.

Is music the industry that will be the most disrupted by NFTs? What about the movie industry? Publishing? Real Estate? the list goes on and there may be many industries that will be shaken thanks to this technology.

What is an NFT"?

Personally I define it as “A way to digitally register ownership of an Asset.” It used to be a form of registration for digital assets, but now physical assets can be register and traded as NFTs just as well.

🎹 Music Royalties via NFTs

Nas just sold royalty rights to two of his songs (‘Ultra Black’ and ‘Rare’) as NFTs.

Royal – a song ownership platform that Nas invested in last year, alongside other musicians, made 760 tokens available for ‘Ultra Black’, the lead single to Nas’ 2021 Grammy award winning-album ‘King’s Disease’.

Three tiers of tokens were made available, offering different levels of ownership.

• ‘Ultra Black’ song tiers:Gold: 0.0143% streaming royalty ownership for $50Platinum: 0.0857% streaming royalty ownership for $250Diamond: 2.14% streaming royalty ownership for $4999

• ‘Rare’ song tiers:Gold: 0.0113% streaming royalty ownership for $99Platinum: 0.0658% streaming royalty ownership for $499Diamond: 1.5789% streaming royalty ownership for $9999

This is indeed a great opportunity for creators to get funding for their projects via NFTs and to create another stream of direct income. Additionally, this is an amazing grassroots strategy to communicate directly with their fan base and recruit an organic marketing team. “NFT owners under a revenue share model will make money the more your art sells.”

🧩 Fractional Ownership

Any industry that can benefit from fractional ownership can be quickly disrupted by NFTs. Real estate could be transformed with the proper use of tokens and smart contracts. Currently, you have to buy an entire apartment or house to reap the benefits of real estate ownership. NFTs can allow fractional ownership of any real estate asset by selling tokens programmed under a smart contract that dictates the owner’s responsibilities, revenue share, and how the token (NFT) can be sold in the future if the owner desires to cash out. I can own 5%, or any percentage, of a property and have that percentage written on my NFT smart contract dictating my revenue percentage and my duties as an owner of X%.

As we have seen, the world of Art has been rapidly changing due to NFTs. Not long ago, it was unthinkable to own a Picasso or any extremely expensive piece of art. Today, I can own a percentage of any art piece, hold it for it to appreciate, and re-sell it in the secondary market for a profit if / when I wish. I may also have voting rights written into my token’s smart contract which will allow me to be part of the decision making process of that particular piece of art.

2022 will be the year when we witness businesses of all sizes jump into the NFT action to bring extra revenue and get rid of the middle-man. NFTs will also allow enterprises to connect directly with their audience and audiences will be able reap the benefits of exclusive rights, access, and/or content.
