Hip Hop Sportz is a suite of mobile games set in a stylish metaverse designed around the “5” elements of Hip Hop. Using real map data, play Sportz together anywhere in the world.
ABOUT
This is a new era of gaming in the metaverse, taking traditional concepts of popular sports and expanding them into a virtual world that includes 3D avatars, augmented reality, and virtual reality. The game has an in-game economy where players can buy, sell, and customize creations and land as NFTs, creating a cultural phenomenon where the rules are redefined for entertainment, recreational, and educational purposes.
Hip Hop Sportz features a world generated from real map data that allows users to buy virtual plots of land and other in-game assets as NFTs using a cryptocurrency called DKT. Journey into stylish locations and join others as a player or a spectator for a game across the globe, up the street, or in a neighboring city. With Hip Hop Sportz, play where you want to play.
AR
In Augmented Reality mode, Special Courses courses are generated based on the user’s current location. Similar to the popular AR game called Pokémon GO, players must use their mobile device to explore and traverse the real world to interact with their virtual golf ball in order to complete each hole.
VR
The addition of VR expands the Hip Hop Sportz brand to use a virtual reality headset which fully immerses players into a 3D world where each game allows players to take on the form of a custom avatar and physically perform the motions of their favorite sports.
UGC
The added support for user generated content (UGC) allows artists and content creators to showcase their music, share custom levels, and upload original creations into the game which can be bought and sold as NFTs.
Digital Deeds
A Digital Real Estate system within all Hip Hop Sports will divide the territorial US by zip code and by residential and commercial lots which can be bought and sold within the metaverse. When purchased, the “player owner” now has the right to customize, personalize, sell or lease the residential and commercial lots to other players through an in-game NFT marketplace.
THE SPORTZ
5 Elements of Hip Hop
Hip Hop, a global cultural phenomenon, originated in the Bronx, one of five boroughs in NYC in the 1970s. Hip Hop’s music was used as a powerful medium to protest injustices. The Hip Hop culture, not to be confused with the respected Hip Hop Movement, mixed it’s message using five elements consisting of DJing, Mcing, Beat-Boxing, Break-Dancing, and Graffiti. Through these methods of expression, notable artists emerged as pioneers, giving voice and volume to marginalized communities.
Generational values and cultural virtues have since changed, priorities have seemingly shifted and Hip Hop as we knew it then has in many ways turned into a Pop Culture. Hip Hop’s legacy can only be survived by a working and ongoing knowledge of its origins and original purpose.
