The Hard Hedz / White Paper V2.0
The Hard Hedz is a group of multi-talented professionals spanning several generations. Each member brings to the table various artistic and professional talents. They have all worked together in some shape, form, or fashion over many years. They are all artists and represent over 30 years of experience in the entertainment industry alone. This being the case, The Hard Hedz has decided to fuse their love for arts, entertainment, and cryptocurrency to create their current NFT project (Hard Hedz Hip-Hop NFT Collection) as well as future projects to come.

Hard Hedz Mission Statement
To create a space where creators and lovers of the arts can come together and show appreciation while building a community where members can share ideas, and build wealth and relationships spawning new innovative projects.
Project Overview
The Hard Hedz Hip-Hop NFT Collection consists of a base collection of 5,000 unique NFTs that will be released over five drops. There are ten base characters displaying different hip-hop styles, each flaunting unique sets of characteristics, which means no two NFTs will be the same. This NFT collection is created for people who love hip-hop, and artists who want to gain exposure for their skills. These recording artists want to use their skills to win their own recording studio and for NFT investors looking for a project that will have longevity and increase in value. The Hard Hedz (Hip-Hop) NFT collection is also the gateway to the Hard Hedz next NFT Project and Social Membership – The Milez High Club
The Milez High Club
The Milez High Club is our next NFT project but it’s also a Social Membership that will be connected to not only the HiP-Hop NFT Collection but all future NFT projects to come.
So, if you want in on huge exclusive giveaways, if you want to be a part of an exclusive group that will bring value to its members through metaverse, cryptocurrency, and merchandise investments. If you want to party, perform as an artist or just hang out with us in our future metaverse locations and have spaceship-level access during our exclusive events. The Milez High Club is where you want to be!
Your early access gateway to the Milez High Club is hinged on your participation in the Hip-Hop Collection NFT project. Once you meet all the qualifications – you will automatically be given Milez High Club status. Your Milez High Club NFT will offer you access to exclusive member-only giveaways, spaceship-level access during events, merchandise, musical resources, exclusive meetups, and more.
This is only the beginning! Imagine accessing exclusive member-only perks and then when and if you wish, you can sell your Milez High Club NFT for the value you paid or potentially make money as the value increases over time.
The Milez High Club qualification process will officially open during the second release phase of the Hip-Hop Collection NFT project. However, anyone meeting all of the qualifications ahead of time will automatically be given Milez High Club Status.

Video Challenges
The video challenges will take place during the first release phase of the Hip-Hop NFT Collection project. Once 95% of the available NFT’s are sold during the first release, the video challenges will begin. The Video Challenges are where we will be awarding random people we roll up on (who are willing to attempt and complete the challenge presented) one of our Hard Hedz Hip-Hop Collection NFT’s or a Hard Hedz Hip-Hop Collection Visa card. These challenges may be recorded and shared via our Youtube channel. So be on the lookout – We could be pulling up to a spot near you!
The Cypher Contest
The Hip Hop Cypher Contest will take place during the third release phase of the Hip-Hop NFT Collection project. Once 95% of the available NFTs are sold during the third release, the Hip Hop Cypher Contest will begin.
The contest’s Preliminary Phase will consist of 100 slots for participating artists. The slots will be filled on a first-come-first-serve basis. The time frame allotted to fill the slots will be one month or until all slots are filled, whichever happens first.
The Hip Hop Cypher Contest is where several Hip-Hop artists will compete by submitting a 16-bar verse using tracks provided by The Hard Hedz. All submissions will be judged by The Hard Hedz and a bracket system will be used to show the progression of the winners through each phase of the contest. Each time an artist progresses to the next bracket, they will be awarded one of our Hip-Hop Collection NFTs. Ultimately, there will be one grand prize winner, who will walk away with their very own studio recording equipment.
Note: In order to participate as an artist, you must be a holder of at least one Hard Hedz Hip-Hop NFT.
But Wait! – There’s more. We didn’t forget about the fans. Throughout the contest there will be a couple of voting events where those who are not artists but love Hip-Hop will get a chance to vote for who they think will win during certain brackets. As a result, 50 Hard Hedz NFTs will be randomly dispersed to voters who chose correctly.
So, all participating artists be sure to alert your fan base as they will have an opportunity to win a Hard Hedz Hip-Hop NFT as well. For more specific details regarding The Cypher Contest, please visit our website at: https://hardhedz.com/hip-hop-cypher/
Music Trivia
The Hip Hop Music Trivia challenges will take place during the fourth release phase of the Hip-Hop NFT Collection project. Once 95% of the available NFTs are sold during the fourth release, the Hip Hop Music Trivia challenges will begin.
The Hip Hop Music Trivia challenges are where we will be awarding random people we roll up on as well as members of our discord (who are willing to attempt and complete the trivia challenge presented) one of our Hard Hedz Hip-Hop Collection NFTs, a Hard Hedz Hip-Hop Collection Visa card or straight Hbar. Some of these challenges may be recorded and shared via our Youtube Channel. So be on the lookout – We could be pulling up to a spot near you!
