There’s now a Notorious B.I.G. experience in The Sandbox metaverse, thanks to a collaboration between the game, the late rapper’s label Warner Music Group, and his estate, the metaverse platform announced Monday.

The Brooklyn, New York-inspired area in The Sandbox pays homage to the late rapper, born Christoper Wallace, who rose to fame in the 1990s before his death in 1997. The Sandbox B.I.G. experience, dubbed “Breakin’ B.I.G.,” allows players to meet the rapper’s non-playable avatar likeness in a “2D, arcade-style world” and navigate various quests as an up-and-coming rap star, according to the announcement. 

Quests include tasks like helping out around the virtual Brooklyn community and confronting B.I.G.’s rivals in The Sandbox, to name a few.

“No artist represents the style of the 90s more than Biggie,” said Notorious B.I.G. Estate Chief Strategy Officer Elliot Osagie, in a statement. 

“By bringing the appeal of the 90s style side-scrolling game, starring Biggie’s music, to an innovative Web3 platform, we are ensuring that the world he built will continue to be enjoyed by day-one fans and discovered by today’s new generation of fans in fresh innovative ways that remain authentic to Biggie’s brand and goals as an artist,” Osagie added.
