Platform issues on 3lau founded Royal have delayed the highly anticipated Tuesday drop of NFTs for two tracks by Nas,

“Due to the amount of excitement and support, our website went down,” explained Royal, It’s a very visible failure for Royal’s first drop by a major outside artist.

The drop is now scheduled for January with the sale of NFTs that includes a share of streaming royalties for Nas’s tracks ‘Ultra Black’ and ‘Rare’ set for 1 PM ET and 9 PM ET, respectively.
