Since the launch of music streaming service TIDAL, there’s been a lot of chatter regarding Jay Z‘s involvement and how hands-on the Brooklyn mogul would be. It appears that the rapper born Shawn Carter is going above and beyond his duties by personally calling TIDAL subscribers and thanking them for signing up.
UPDATE: After giving TIDAL 10 days of exclusive use, Rihanna releases her video for “American Oxygen” on YouTube.
Since the launch of Jay Z‘s TIDAL streaming service, prospective subscribers and critics alike have been scrambling to offer their opinions. English singer Lily Allen took aim at the service, saying that it will most likely move fans to head back to illegal downloading and pirate websites.
The year was 2009, and Spotify wasn’t close to the streaming juggernaut it has become since it only launched about a year prior. Jay Z had a new album to promote, The Blueprint III, so the Brooklyn rapper teamed with Rhapsody for a marketing boost.
Some of TIDAL’s allure lies in its promise to house exclusive content. And what’s more exclusive than a new track from Beyoncé?
Rihanna premiered her new single “American Oxygen” during a live performance at the March Madness Music Festival in Indianapolis, Ind.
Those of you looking for a quick fix of “22 Twos” or “Can’t Knock The Hustle” Jay Z on Spotify are going to be short. Hova’s Reasonable Doubt debut has been pulled from the music streaming service, but it is on TIDAL, though.
Jay Z’s TIDAL has yet to prove it self as a reputable force within the music industry, but it seems like financial benefactors are already sold.
Only a potentially monumental business move like purchasing TIDAL can make Jay Z not only tweet but give a rare interview.
Jay Z‘s new streaming service, TIDAL, had an epic rollout Monday afternoon (Mar. 3o) at the James A. Farley Post Office building in New York. As one can imagine, comments on social media have been swirling in since the conclusion of the star-studded news conference and reactions have been mixed.
