Music career
Initially, Jay-Z sold the record from the car's trunk. He has no record deals and no autographs, so he does everything he can to try to sell his music.
He founded the record company of Roc-A-Fella Records with Damon Dash and Kareem Biggs, which led them to a priority deal. This led to Jay-Z's release of his debut album “Reasonable Doubt” in 1996.
Fast forward to today, Jay-Z's solo artist on the Billboard 200 in the United States owns records on most albums, including 14 of them. He also has four albums in Billboard Hot 100.
Tide Sales
In 2015, Jay-Z acquired a Norwegian streaming service called Aspo for $56 million. After the acquisition, he renamed the platform to Tide and labeled it as “the artist's first fan-centric music streaming platform.”
Jay-Z is not the first musician to express dissatisfaction with traditional streaming platforms. After rebranding in 2017, he released his album 4:44 exclusively on Tide Platform and removed his entire catalog from Spotify.
Despite the controversy surrounding Tidal's financial and operational procedures, Jack Dorsey's Square acquired 86.4% of the company for $297 million, reaching a deal. The deal involved a mix of cash and stock options on the square, with Jay-Z and several other artist investors retaining a few stocks on the platform.
