Yesterday afternoon, Jay Z continued the press run for his music streaming service , Tidal , at NYU for an informative Q&A session at the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music. Alongside Tidal executive Vania Schlogel ?, Hov talked with students about the ins and outs of the company, from how it's put together to how they handle their artist royalties different from Spotify and other services. On the subject of royalty payouts to artists, Jay said they plan to change the industry with how they go about the system. Maybe the most interesting part of the discussion came with the topic of how labels would interact with Tidal and if they plan to cut any ties at all. Jay said that if an artist has a deal with a label then they of course can't exclude the company, but he also noted that if an artist's contract expires, they can work out a deal on their own with Tidal.??
