Square will pay $297 million in a mix of cash and stock for a majority stake in the company, allowing the artist stakeholders who initially partnered with Jay-Z and Tidal to keep ownership stakes as well. Jay-Z will join Square’s board of directors, and Square’s hardware lead Jesse Dorogusker will serve as the interim head of Tidal upon the closing of the deal.

I launched my Blog site in 2010, inspired by platforms like Complex Networks, Nigel D's RealTalkNY, NahRight, MissInfo.tv, Elliott Wilson, and Brian "B.Dot" Miller. (Rap Radar) It started as a passion project -sharing hip-hop videos, music, interviews, and more, just for the love of the culture. Fast forward to today, I'm still at it, driven by the thrill of discovering fresh, unique hip-hop and cultural moments to share with others. My goal? To help people uncover some real dope content. - Yaosoner View all posts by YaosoneR
