The Story

Badazz Bears is a NFT Project backed by Jim Jones - an American rapper, artist, television star, producer, and entrepreneur - based on original concepts from his Uncle. Jim’s Uncle spent much of his time in prison and turned to Art as a point of connection and healing with his family.

A major focus of this project is to empower communities and create awareness for criminal justice reform through support of organizations like the REFORM Alliance and the Alliance for Safety and Justice (ASJ). The first mint in the Bear Cave will be for 1801 Bears synonymous with the address where Jim and his uncle grew up. There will be 9,005 Bears sold on Disrupt Art.

The Fashion and accessories of the Bears resonate with hip hop culture - Coogi sweaters, bright colors, and self-expression influenced by Music Icons 2Pac, Biggie, Snoop Dog, Wu-Tang Clan, DMX, Missy Elliot, Da Brat, Outkast, and many others.

GOALS

  1. 1. Build a Badazz Community
  2. 2. Provide Access to In-Person and Online Events.
  3. 3. Providing Resources to Returning Citizens.

UTILITIES

Badazz Bears will be minted through Disrupt Art with the Dapper Wallet, and will be able to be sold on the Rarible marketplace. Bear Owners will also have access to exclusive Behind-the-Scenes Experiences with Jim Jones and drawings for chances to Meet Jim in-person at one of his events.

A Build-a-Bear system is planned for this project. Those in the Bear Cave will be given early access to mint on June 20, 2022. Our Badazz holders will be able to customize their Bear(s) to add 90s themed Traits & Accessories. Later in the project the community will even be able to help create new traits and leave their mark on this project.

The 3rd Batch of Bears will be the final group of Bears minted and will complete the collection of 9,005 mints. The fun doesn’t stop here.

TBD

Build-a-Bear Utility Launch

The Ultimate goal is for collectors to be able to change out traits on their Bears, so that every Bear is influenced by their owner. We will build tools so that collectors can switch out traits and drip out their Bears whenever they want. We will plan out trait drops and community voting on new traits.

TBD

Badazz Bears 2.0 Announcement

Badazz Bears 2.0 will be officially announced with details on how the community can help build drip for the future of the Bears. Custom community traits and accessories will be developed for the Bears. Some community favorite traits will be retired from circulation to give more value to OG traits from the first 50% of the mints. Not to mention the announcement of how collectors will now be able to pick out traits and customize the look of their Bears.

TBD

Badazz Bears 2.0 Release

The release of the community created drip for Badazz Bears. These custom traits and accessories chosen by our Badazz community will be available to equip, sell, and trade as this community sets the trends for the Metaverse and beyond.

TBD

The Future and Beyond

Badazz Bears doesn’t end when we are sold out. We are also planning on continuously supporting the community and our partners through the combined efforts of everyone in the community. We will have Merch Releases, NFT Giveaways, New Trait Drops, and much much more. Let’s Disrupt the Metaverse!
