The popular file-sharing platform in the 2000s, Limewire, now rebranded as an NFT marketplace, teams up with musicians like Travis Barker, Dillon Francis, Nicky Jam and others to launch NFTs.
The other artists who are going to drop their own unique NFTs in the Limewire marketplace are Grammy-winning singer Brandy, 7 Aurelius, A$AP Mob’s A$AP TyY, and British rapper Aitch.
In March, LimeWire announced that it is returning as an NFT marketplace primarily focused on music, after shutting down in 2010. The new marketplace is offering a range of original songs, visual artworks, backstage passes, and other in-person opportunities.
In his first-ever NFT collection, Travis Barker will feature the behind-the-scenes video of himself working in the studio, providing NFT collectors with an inside look at his creative process.
If the holders acquire the Travis Barker NFTs, they will also receive a brand-new song as a reward.
Additionally, Barker will release a one-of-one NFT that is a 3D model of his drum set and the lucky holder will also receive the physical drum set he used at shows, during practice, and at home.
Barker noted “I hope that my NFT collection will inspire aspiring artists and fans who want to learn about my creative journey and how I make music. LimeWire has created a platform that makes exciting content like this accessible to all of my fans – even ones who are unfamiliar with Web3.”
Likewise, Aitch’s collection is themed around his upcoming debut album ‘Close To Home,’ and the NFT artwork will depict each track in his record, with some vague cues of music features.
Today Limewire is going to witness the first NFT drop from Grammy-winning producer 7 Aurelius from this massive lineup of musicians.
Limewire is also launching its own “Originals”, NFT collection comprising 10,000 NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain. These NFTs will be issued in stages, and currently, there is a waiting list.

LimeWire owners, Paul and Julian Zehetmayr, added “LimeWire presents a new commercial opportunity for artists of all sizes and genres to engage with their fans, gain more exposure in a unique way, and retain more of their earnings.”
