Well if you haven't heard by now the big news from the week in music as far as artists and independent labels are concerned is Jay Z pulling his catalog from Spotify that is big news  considering that Jay Z is a big name in the business also being as he is also a major investor in Tidal music streaming service Jay Z has long been a champion for artists getting what is rightfully theirs which is always a good thing as an independent artist and also Ceo of an independent label it is always good to see some of the heavy hitters in the business who knows how hard an artist works to get their music out here now of course there is always two sides to every story according to the different stories that you may find online Jay Z only decided to do this because Spotify is at the top of the heap when it comes to streaming while Tidal is further down on the list however if enough heavy hitters follow suit then it just might change the way music will be streamed in the future as streams have become just as important for artists as being seen and doing shows are you can be in the streets and in the clubs and on videos but if your business side isn't right then financially it doesn't make much sense unless you value popularity over money it will be interesting to see what this will mean to the music business in the future as streams have become more prevalent but streaming services are trying to low ball artists for their streams as they believe if it wasn't for them no one would hear your music well while that may be true if it wasn't for the artists they wouldn't exist either so who knows what this will mean we can only watch and see how all of this will unfold
