Rap superstar
Jay Z launched his own subscription-based music-streaming service called Tidal
on Monday, with the support of other titans of the music industry including his
wife Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, Chris Martin of Coldplay, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna,
Kanye West and Deadmau5.
The ad-free
service will feature music and video and will be priced at $9.99 per month for
the basic version, Variety reports. A high-definition version called Tidal HiFi
will cost $19.99 per month. Users will reportedly have access to about 25
million tracks and 75,000 music videos.

Jay Z, whose
real name is Shawn Carter, bought Sweden-based Aspiro — the company that
created Tidal — in January. The rap mogul plans to compete with existing
streaming services like Spotify, Pandora and the streaming service widely
expected from Apple following the tech giant’s acquisition of Beats Music.
Other artists
involved in Tidal include Usher, Madonna, Arcade Fire, Daft Punk, Calvin Harris
and former White Stripes front man Jack White.
