Please Like Me: Justin Bieber And Kanye West's Different Approaches To Image Rehab

Tidal Should Change The Future Of Music, But It Probably Won't

A couple months ago, Jay Z bought a Scandinavian version of Spotify for $56 million with the intent of making a monthly music service that would pay its artists. This comes in the face of the infamously low cuts given out by current stream hubs, and…
