A fresh digital chapter for a rap legacy

With a rich history tied to West Coast culture and basketball, the opportunity arose to create something fresh and engaging.
01 Project Overview
Death Row Records, a globally renowned music label, marked their 30th anniversary with a desire to reconnect with legacy fans who were growing weary of the constant re-releasing of old material. With a rich history tied to West Coast culture and basketball, the opportunity arose to create something fresh and engaging.
02 Challenge
The challenge was to design a campaign that would not only re-engage with the label's loyal fan base but also capture the essence of Death Row Records' cultural significance. The campaign needed to be innovative, appealing, and reflective of the brand's roots in West Coast culture.
03 Our Solution
Sidekit designed an 80s retro basketball game to capture both data and the imagination of fans. Winners were rewarded with specially-designed NFTs that served as unique collectibles. The success of this anniversary campaign led to further collaboration, including branding and a website project for a West Coast IPA beer launch. With the product not yet ready, 3D renders of the cans were swiftly produced, and a website was designed and built to showcase the launch. The result was a multi-faceted campaign that not only celebrated Death Row Records' 30-year legacy but also introduced innovative elements that resonated with fans old and new.
The best part about working with Sidekit is they really want to understand the project and goals we are trying to achieve. Using this information, they work closely with us to create unique and dynamic experiences that bring the project to life.
