Schlogel admitted that the relaunch distracted from initiatives like Discovery and Tidal Rising, both of which highlight and promote bourgeoning artists. Lil Wayne's 2015 record Free Weezy Album will celebrate its five year anniversary on July 4, and to celebrate the record is finally available outside of TIDAL. On his Free Weezy Album, though, we meet a version of Wayne who still shows signs of.
Tidal has been working to make up ground after its star-studded rollout drew heavy criticism, with many claiming its supposedly artist-friendly structure would only benefit the industry’s 1 percent. I own most of the Dedication series on my phone along with his greatest tape (IMO), 2009’s No Ceilings. i appreciate the album weezy, i jam to it all the time, u went HAM on all. I had just spent a good portion of my day in the clutches of Apple Music, the latest entrant in an ever-expanding game of dodgeball where the only goal is to pelt consumers with exciting new features until they collapse on the ground. I found out FWA was a Tidal exclusive at the worst possible time. When streaming music services are involved, nothing is free. He’s trying to escape, but Weezy is not free in either sense. For now, though, the artwork for “Glory” still bares the Young Money logo, signaling it, and ostensibly the Free Weezy Album as well, will remain attached to its parent label, Cash Money.Ī Tidal representative did, however, confirm Wayne’s ownership involvement in the streaming service to Rolling Stone, while senior executive Vania Schlogel hinted at the rapper’s participation in an upcoming Tidal X performance. FWA available anytime, anywhere on TIDAL. It’s an expression of independence and a reclamation of legacy. Its a Tidal exclusive, an inaugural release.
Considering Wayne’s label woes, his decision to join Tidal could signal a significant shift in how the rapper releases future material. Tha Carter V is still in release date limbo, so Weezy went against Cash Money with the Free Weezy Album on July 4.
