Jay-Z's new album is coming to Apple Music in a few days

On June 19, we echoed a rumor that Jay-Z's new album would arrive exclusively at the Tidal music service, of which the rapper is one of the main owners. But it seems that This exclusive is limited in time and the exclusivity period will end on July 7, the date on which the 4:44 album will begin to be available not only on Apple Music, but also on other streaming music platforms such as Spotify. Although Jay-Z is one of the owners of Tidal, he knows that with such a low number of users, about 3 million, it is impossible to make money, hence he has surrendered to the evidence and offers his new album prune after its release. official.

Since Jay-Z took over Tidal in early 2015, there have been three different CEOs who have tried to take the company to a better port than they are currently in, but due to differences with the top managers of the company, there has been no way to get the ship out of port. At the beginning of this year, the American operator Sprint acquired 33% of the company in exchange for 200 million dollars.

Since then, the operator offers the majority of its customers, whatever they have the most expensive rates to say the least, access to the music service it owns, which has not allowed the actual number of subscribers to have increased and it has served the company to become a real option before Apple Music and Spotify, despite the fact that only Tidal offers the option of High Fidelity sound, a quality much higher than that offered by its maximum rivals, but which is only used by a very small number of users.
