Hood Heroes is a collection of 5,000 avatar NFTs, inspired by the vibrant life of the man and artist Ștefan Mihalache aka Connect-R. They are developed in partnership with CLAPART – Rarissime and bring to the fore lots of benefits, from access for 2 years to a pool of attractive incentives, to the possession of 1% of the income obtained by the artist from the sales of the songs “Lasa -mă sa te…” and “Vara nu dorm”. The collection serves as a bridge between the artist and his fans.
The motivation behind the collection
The Hood Heroes collection is based on Ștefan’s strong desire to create a better connection with his fans. CLAPART will make this possible, by replacing the traditional roles of artists and fans and making them real and direct partners. The desire is to create a model that will benefit everyone involved – musicians, fans, and more.
It is intended that as many artists as possible can take advantage of it, and not just other established artists, but emerging artists who want to bypass traditional compromises and sacrifices and launch themselves as artists in the Web 3 space.
The goal is to tokenize artworks to fund the artists, increase interaction between fans and artwork, and eliminate unproductive middlemen. Connect-R sees it as a more democratic and inclusive way of creating music.
The ARC Academy involvement
The goal of Hood Heroes and its partner ARC Academy is to bring blockchain adoption to a new level, an impossible fact without awareness and understanding. The strong partnership created between the two parties allows NFT owners to benefit from fabulous discounts on ARC Academy courses, ranging from 25% to 60%, and to participate in educational events in the company of Connect-R and other music stars. The educational journey is also enriched with the provision of educational materials (articles, videos, other dedicated contents), and interesting podcasts.
