Tidal - Jay Z

Jay Z barely let the ink dry on his latest music venture before making some major moves for the headlines. For fans comfortably streaming Jigga’s Reasonable Doubt on Spotify or Youtube, you’ll be forced to relive the classic solely on Tidal.

During his New York University Q&A, the rapper-mogul discussed one of the major reasons artists are tacking on to Tidal is due to the unbalanced profit-sharing system with artists.

“You guys may have seen some of the stats like, Aloe Blacc had a song that was streamed 168 million times and he got paid $4,000,” he said. “For us, it’s not us standing here saying we’re poor musicians. If you provide a service, you should be compensated for it. And not just artists — just think about the writers and the producers.”

Alongside Jay Z, Taylor Swift has also pulled all her music in 2014 from Spotify. The artist driven company is also separating itself from its competitors by providing exclusive content like Beyoncé and Rihanna’s new songs.

Will you make the Tidal switch?
