Tidal, the music streaming service started by Jay-Z, has been purchased by Twitter, the payments firm, of which CEO Jack Dorsey is a significant investor. Tidal co-owner Jay-Z took a 33% stake in the company and will now be a member of the board of directors. He better gets some time off the clock if he’s inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It was said that artists would be “empowered” by this agreement. This contract is designed to support artists and help the industry as a whole. As he has said in other tweets, it’s a big deal for many people; the fact that Jack and I have discussed TID’s possibilities only serves to make me more optimistic about its future. This universal desire makes me all the more eager to be a part of the Square board.
While the concept was uncomplicated, it took a long time to put together; Dorsey claims the project actually started when he stumbled upon new ways for artists to fund their own endeavors. “With what we’ve been able to do for the cash-for-transaction vendors, we also feel we can help the artists we represent now,” he noted We’re going to start with the small and concentrate on the most essential fan bases. Dorsey also stated that Jay-Z will serve on the advisory board, which will span the company’s entirety, not just Tidal. And as well as Tidal’s “celebrity and creative spirit,” such as songs like Drake’s “Started From the Bottom” and Puff Daddy’s “Come Fly With Me,” we’re all included in his public social media posts on the same day.
Tidal confirms that rapper Jay-Z and other artists, including Rihanna and Kanye West, purchased it as an artist-owned streaming service in 2015. Per Forbes, Jay-Z had previously sold a third of the company to T-Mobile; last week, he re-bought the shares he had once sold to Sprint, now taking control of the company. Dorsey and Jay-Z first discussed the acquisition of Tidal with the press a few months ago.

Impressive streaming figures from over a hundred million plays attest to the legitimacy of Sacramento, California, rapper and RUNWAY CHALLENGE queen Stunna Girl’s claim that she is an elite MC who commands respect in the industry. Her latest mixtape, “Stunna This, Stunna That,” is available for download today.
In the preceding weeks, she set the stage for the project’s arrival with the lead single and the first track on the album, “Still Smoke,” which she freestyled in the studio. Before moving on to a new album, we decided to sample the Axel Foley classic song. She shredded through the REEFA produced beat, with teeth bared and powerful verses. It also reached #11 on Spotify’s premier hip-hop playlist, “Rap Caviar,” in addition to ranking in the top ten across all streaming platforms. While this song solidifies Rihanna’s position as one of the newest waves of fire female rappers, the story suggested that she had already lost that battle to Tyga and Rae Sremmurd’s former singer (Kid Zucc).

The U.S. House of Representatives passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act on Wednesday Night in a 220-212 vote, bringing forth a number of police reform measures that are much needed to protect the lives of citizens from police brutality. After all of the resilient efforts, days in to months into years went by. Social injustice put on a the main news feeds of America, a stance made by the people of America again makes a step forward in victory. The Act is looking to create a data base to keep track of police misconduct, ban neck restraints and kneeling to suppress individuals, and a series of other irrational methods of detainment. An expected neck and neck race to the finish still upsetting some feel these acts are just, but that did not stop the mission. Through sports, politics, music, any outlet possible assisting in voicing their stance with Black Lives Matter. Artist like Y.G., Lil Baby, stars like Lebron James and a long list of others forcing the hand of the world.
“My Daddy Changed the world” Daughter of the late great George Floyd says with joy as she watches the masses go to war for his justice. Peaceful protest across the globe, some remained peaceful others disrupted by more hate and unjust tactics, but still we stand together. What a time in history where everyone heard the call and stood tall for an on going cause that needed a voice and it was heard.
Millions of people around the world watched footage filmed Monday of a white Minneapolis police officer kneeling on the neck of George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, as he cried out that he couldn’t breathe. He later died. The video — and scenes from the chaotic protests against police brutality that have unfolded over the ensuing week — found purchase and provoked responses across the globe. Some leaders took the opportunity to express solidarity with marginalized communities in the United States.
For the first time in american history a civil dispute has brought the country together with a record number of peaceful protest across the nation. The announcement came more than a week after Floyd was killed while in police custody in Minneapolis, sparking nationwide protests that call for the end to police violence against black citizens.
The new standard has been set we must continue to hold this in America to prevent these reckless happenings. We feel a officer sworn to protect should be held at a higher standard of responsibility and be subject to the highest charge and punishment. We as black citizens have been victims fighting off max sentencing, high rates of the death penalty and life sentences, unfair trials and tampered with or lack of evidence. The battle against mass incarceration and fair trials have forcefully conditioned us to be ok with having the most prisoners in the self proclaimed best country in the world. The U.S. incarcerates more people than any nation in the world, including China. And the U.S. is also the leader in the prison population rate. America’s approach to punishment often lacks a public safety rationale, disproportionately affects minorities, and inflicts overly harsh sentences.
Overstatement is impossible when speaking of The Notorious B.I.G. as he forever changed the art of rhyming, storytelling, and charisma, revolutionized the commercial aspects of rap stardom, and embodied the rough-and-tumble hustle of his Brooklyn neighborhood. He was just Christopher Wallace before he became Biggie Smalls, but he was an ambitious, sweet if a bit of a troublemaker. The apple of his mother’s eye is a loyal friend.
This new documentary, Biggie: I Got a Story to Tell, focuses on the man behind the myth rather than on his glittering and glamorous career. The film recounts an untold story of Biggie’s desire to leave his troubled life behind. It is interspersed with rare archival footage and interviews with those who knew him best — his mother, Voletta Wallace, his business partner, Sean Combs, his girlfriend, Faith Evans, and friends from his neighborhood in Bed-Stuy, such as Lil Cease.
Executive-produced by Biggie’s mother Voletta Wallace and Sean Combs, and directed by Emmett Malloy, the new doc is jam-packed with fascinating stories and nuggets that will interest both longtime Biggie fans and newcomers alike, helping to explain Biggie’s diverse musical background, which incorporated hip-hop, dancehall, and jazz (thanks to his neighbor and musical mentor Donald Harrison). The new doc also sheds light on some of his most celebrated pieces of work, such as “Respect,” “Warning,” and “Miss U.”
Biggie: I’ve Got a Story to Tell allows fans to get closer to knowing and understanding Biggie Smalls the way he was known and understood by those closest to him.
Biggie: I Got A Story To Tell is available to watch now on Netflix.
