Fractionalized NFTs are NFTs that have been broken down into pieces allowing for them to be sold individually. Each individual buyer of these pieces would then possess only a small portion of the NFT’s overall value.

Octopizzo has recently launched his latest studio album titled ‘Fuego.’ The album has been described as one that will help put the Kenyan hip hop scene on the African hip hop pedestal bringing Kenya the glory it deserves around the globe.

HoneyCoin started out as a borderless payments app supporting transfers between several countries such as Kenya and Nigeria, and diaspora regions like the U.K and U.S. It has however continued to diversity its offering.

The partnership with Octopizzo is a demonstration of its service to helping artistes and other creative workers monetize their work.
