BIG LOCO x THE CRYPTO HOMIES
BIG LOCO is an icon in Barrio Quien Sabe and a cousin of Hollywood. Unfortunately, he didn’t stay out of trouble like his pretty boy primo. Big Loco spent most of his youth in-and-out of incarceration, from juvenile hall to California Youth Authority to San Quentin, Loco knows about doing time. Using his OG status in the hood, Big Loco now helps keep the young Homies away from crime and gang banging, and hopefully out of the pinta. He works as a youth counselor at Homies Outreach.
The Crypto Homies aims to bridge the gap between traditional collectibles and the emerging world of blockchain technology, offering a unique and modern twist to the iconic Homies characters. The Crypto Homies not only brings the Homies characters into the digital era but also allows fans to explore the potential of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies in a fun and engaging way. By blending the nostalgia of the Homies brand with the cutting-edge world of crypto, Crypto Homies have become a remarkable fusion of pop culture and digital innovation, capturing the imagination of collectors and enthusiasts alike.

SAPO x WORD
SAPO is Spanish for toad, which is what this short, droopy Homie looks like. Sapo is a happy guy who just wants to laugh and check things out. He loves Mexican food and tends to have a lot of gas that he passes uncontrollably. He also burps a lot. He is gross but thinks it’s funny. The girls are all disgusted with him, but the fellas think he’s funny as hell.
The word "Word" holds immense importance and significance in street and hip-hop culture, serving as a powerful form of affirmation, agreement, and expression of solidarity. It has become a staple in the vocabulary of urban communities, representing authenticity, understanding, and connection. Sidney Richlin, co-founder of the Crypto Homies, recognized the cultural resonance of the word and, along with his partner Ronny Mirel, took the unique step of trademarking it. This action not only showcases their understanding of the cultural impact of the word but also highlights their dedication to preserving and honoring the language and expressions that shape street and hip-hop culture. By trademarking "Word," they safeguard its cultural significance while celebrating its enduring influence on urban communities worldwide.
SMILEY x SID TECH
SMILEY is a happy soul who loves to have fun and party. Smiley has no problems with anyone and is game to try absolutely anything. Smiley falls in love with every girl he meets. He is a woman-chasing hound dog and can’t control it. He drives a ‘64 Chevy Impala convertible that is world famous as a record-holding “Hopper.”
