An NFT of a track titled “Big Boy (One-Derful Version),” by Michael Jackson, will hit the blockchain through the music platform Anotherblock. The track is the first-ever studio recording of a young Michael Jackson.
The track was recorded in 1967 when an eight-year-old Michael Jackson recorded his inaugural studio session at One-Derful in Chicago with his brothers. Anotherblock CEO and co-founder Michel Traore told Cointelegraph that dropping the track on-chain will elevate the song beyond being a commodity.
