Jay Z’s Tidal streaming service can count the likes of Beyonce, Coldplay, Usher, Madonna and Rihanna as just a few of its supporters.
So, keen to make the most of their A-list support, the mogul has called on them to share exclusive content with the platform to drive their respective fan bases to the service.
Today, he has succeeded in doing just that by joining forces by one of the world’s brightest stars to release an album many will agree has been hotly-anticipated.
Who the mystery artist behind the surprise release is?
Hint: Their “rain” is unlikely to ever let up.
It’s the artist currently known as Prince!
The star surprised the world with the LP ‘HITNRUN PHASE TWO’ on the platform minutes ago!
Packing exciting new material the album made its way to the world eleven years after he joined forces with Beyonce (one of TIDAL’s celebrity endorsers) to deliver a moving rendition of his classic number ‘Purple Rain‘ and her then one-year-old cut ‘Crazy In Love’
at the 46th annual Grammy Awards.
How his new LP compares to these jams?
Prince’s Pop LP dropped before the Grammy award winning force that is Rihanna is to release her new LP on the same platform.
A release date has never been set for the set but fans had been expecting it to reach retailers by the November of this year following the release of its buzz cuts ‘FourFiveSeconds’, ‘American Oxygen‘ and ‘Bitch Better Have My Money.’
It will mark her eighth studio album and her first since her departure from Def Jam where she moved over 10 million albums in the United States alone.

Last ALBUM? Yes, Diamonds. Words mean things h**. 🙂

You just worry about Iggy and that explicit movie she’s been trying to hide dear. Rihanna’s sales will be just fine. I’m lying, they won’t. ??????????
You want to talk about hoetry when Drake is touring NBA locker rooms? Try again hookah.
Still no credibility ?
An August Alneverseenher Stan coming for Iggy is an absolute joke considering they are both eligible for starring roles in The Real Escorts of Atlanta. Neither of them are to be taken seriously so fall back and buy queen Demi’s masterpiece Confident today.
Speaking of flops does anyone know what Monica is going to sell with Code Rediculous?
I see a lot of people coming for IGGYstan ! The navy is so desperate! Rihanna album is a HUGE Kii and are album sales will be an even bigger Laugh! Navi of navy what ever the hell YALL call yourselves HAVE A SEAT
surprised Anti isn’t on milk cartons yet. “Have You Seen This Album?” DYING ?????? don’t be mad at me I didn’t say it
The shade???? TGJ is messy as hell. I’m starting to think that the same people that runs Mediatakeout and oher messy blogs run this site too lol Kii at the SELECTED photo with the topic of a release of an ALBUM! Smh lol
David likes her so I doubt it’s shade but where is the album girl?
Rihanna’s album is still lost in the sauce I see.
No one cares.
I’m surprised Anti isn’t on milk cartons yet. “Have You Seen This Album?”
That’s because the ad I put out to find your missing walls took up all the space. #NowhereTobefound
Still no Antisocial? I can’t and I shant ??????. Tinashes Joyride got her running scared.
Darling, has AqWhererius been certified double polystyrene yet?
Damn you’re a delusional bitćh if you think Tinashe has anybody scared. Joystick will open at 10k
The only b**** here is you b****. Care for a bone?
Screaming!!!!!
Y’all hating on Rihanna but how many of your faves can sell over 100k first week? I’ll wait.
Trey is basic and reductive and you know it. He’s shown no growth and he’s about to be slain by Francine Rivers’ return to the scene. #DealWithIt
A lot of them! One MAJOR QUEEN to say the least! Your fav surely can not lol
Poor Navi!
Your fave has an album out and no one know or cares. 10 years in the game and you’re in the backstage of the AMAs presenting the tweet fan award? What a joke.
Almost a year since E.T.hanna released the first single and anti still has no release date….now THATS a joke. Kiii.
And Aaliyah’s movies feature 3rd rate actresses
Talking about “she deserves a major film”
Kiiii!
Ciara still has a legacy and a thriving career both in (only female R&B certified single this yr) and out (coach, top shop, cavalli) of music.
Now what are your faves receipts?
One doesn’t have a Release date after 3 yrs
The other couldn’t even win a Grammy in 7
?
Kii I f****** LIVE for Faf. She always gathers the girls and leaves them speechless.
To think that Fugly A** Fäg (FAF) and #JackieTheMajorFlop are stanning for Ciara the Serial Flop and think that Ciara’s receipts are more than Rihanna’s is the most delusional kii ever
Well I’m still not getting a Tidal subscription for Prince.
‘
Jay Z launched Tidal the wrong way, Tidal’s focus seems to be on benefiting the artist, what he should have marketed Tidal on is how it benefits the consumer. So far I see no reason to dump my Spotify premium subscription for Tidal.
‘
Get it together Jigga.
Ohh you can now buy music on Tidal? Well we’ll see how this goes.
Princes music hasn’t been good since the 80’s.
He’s a god.
Aren’t you dead yet, damn. Hopefully your do it on your fav’s anniversary, or if we’re lucky, you’ll do it sooner. Also I heard your ugly ass got exposed on that KKK list by Anonymous
How classy hey wishing death upon another human being but then again you’re just another mindless Internet troll hiding behind a computer screen. Get a life and you need Jesus
Stfu b****, he’s a racist piece of s***, he won’t be missed.
And I’m guessing you are an angel straight from heaven?? Have several seats you punk ass you’re just as worse as a red neck racist ill be praying for you today
Stfu b****. Word of advice, before coming for anyone, work on your sentence structure you illiterate f**.
Yes profanity and picking on non existent typographical errors just shows that you lost this round. Now run along you little c*** fàg before I drag you back into the torn hole you crept out of☺☺☺
Lol Me pointing out your grammatical errors will help your illiterate ass in the future “You’re welcome”, this way, you won’t look like you were at the bottom of special ed program. Secondly, what round did I lose, the only thing I am losing though, is my patience with you riding my d***. Now hop off, and on to your father’s.
*the
I knew something was wrong when I seen the word “rain” won’t let up. Poor TGJ, you guys can’t get hits because of these lame @ss, Molly current employment Mc D pop ups and the Slave_HIVe cheap prepaid android phone pop ups.
.
As for Prince, get money. He’s the main example of taking control of your music and keeping THEIR money out of these greedy J3ws hands.
I’m sorry but you had an article about Prince that starts and ends with Rihanna. It shows your desperation, and disrespect for Prince as you are making it a post about Rihanna and not him. Terrible journalism
I don’t think it’s poor journalism. It’s click bait and I’m ok with it because nobody really uses Prince on here.
Baiting is poor journalism,, it’s tacky.
AqWhererius
Joystick
You guys are so wrong! lol
y’all need to fix the ads before everyone deserts this site
Please these b****** ain’t going nowhere, most of them can’t go a full day without checking TGJ. I heard their were a lot of meltdowns when the site was facing some technical difficulties.
Bwahaha phone home Rihanna….phone home!!!
who? prince? tidal?
.
good night
Lol how misleading. Anti is still a figment of our imaginations.
Prince is a legend at this point he puts out music because he loves it.
Y’all mutherfvckas had in cardiac arrest over this bullsh*t! Fvck yo click baiting ass trying to get some hints, and I’ll see y’all when the album drops
Tidal will never succeed. Young people don’t have $20 to give waste every month. Jay-Z & co spectacularly over-estimated the value that their fans put on their material. If urban artists on this platform think their fans are going to be seduced by words such as “exclusive” then I’m afraid they’re sorely mistaken. We must pay for your songs, your CDs, your concerts now this??? I like madonna & beyonce on this tidal, I don’t care much for all the others. If they persist with releasing new material on here before making it public then they had better brace themselves for some very disappointing first week sales. For the life of me I cannot think why on earth Rihanna agreed to be part of this. Or maybe that’s what’s holding up the release if her album, the first week tidal-only exclusivity. Maybe Rihanna wants its available to everyone but the dictator might not be in agreement. Anyway, tidal just doesn’t make sense.
Tidal is not $20 for a basic subscription, and its actually only $5 for a student.
The roll-out of this album is quite interesting…. He’s taken some major risks by allowing Tidal to have a week of exclusivity, by releasing exclusive content on Spotify and by putting music out on his soundcloud. Arguably he is isolating his target audience, But after releasing nearly 40 studio albums and reaching legendary status he can do whatever tf he wants and still WIN… unlike other basic yodelling creatures that can’t get a release date.
Prince is my favorite artist of all time so not gonna hate but TIDAL tho,ugh
I just remembered the Boy George debacle…. ugh revolting! I know My Prince would NEVER!
Prince is one of a very few PERFORMERS who writes, plays, produces and OWNS nearly every single one of his music. He receives royalty cheque after royalty cheque for it. Shaun probably begged him to put his music on tidal as a lure. But I’m afraid not even the power of prince is going to force young people to fork out $20 EVERY MONTH. I really wish I was a fly in the boardroom. The word is that Rihanna and Kanye West want OUT of Tidal. Rihanna apparently is said to be very vocal about wanting to leave Tidal. But those are just rumours what do it know.
…just ? at this entire album campaign, it’s been almost ONE YEAR since FFS and still nothing. LMAO.
TLDR but the other night I was on Twitter and people were dragging Gigi Hadid (deservingly so). Maybelline, who sponsors Gigi posted a gif of her walking (stomping lmao) down the runway with a caption like “Have you EVER seen a better walk than this?” And like 473939 people replied with the same Rihanna VSFS video from 2012. And yet I barely see any, if that, hype from the GP for ANTi. Only time I see her mentioned is for her fashion and ~being a bad bish!!1
A mess. A model is all she is to them at this point.
its like yall G- Listers waited on each other to make a drag fest
.
just look at the top comments

Anyway your draggings >>>>
