Although Apple Music is another large competitor, the streaming service still carries all of Jay’s catalog minus The Blueprint and Reasonable Doubt, for which he owns the masters.
To appeal to a larger audience, Sprint purchased a 33 percent share of Tidal for 200 million in January. The new partnership will allow Sprint’s 45 million customers to receive exclusive content for customers who subscribe to Tidal.
