Dennis Jia (also known as Dennis Tok), co-CEO of Toaku, said, 'We are thrilled to partner with Russell to create content that represents the culture of hip-hop music. Our goal is to give original artists more confidence and recognition.' 'I always think of the early days of recorded hip-hop, when it was just a performance art. Rappers and DJs are pioneers in this field and they are the ones who have made it so popular. But I don't think these people have been given their fair share of credit, so I'm going to take this opportunity to reintroduce them in a new way.'

'Masterminds of Hip Hop' is divided into two stages - pre-recorded and early recorded, releasing no less than 40 exclusive NFTs.
