[With his popular “No Small Talk” season two streaming exclusively on TIDAL, comedian Cipha Sounds tells us why it only made sense to team up with hip-hop mogul Jay Z’s entertainment platform.]
Eventually I plan on doing [platforms like Netflix] but the thing is Roc Nation and TIDAL are like hand-in-hand.
I got this term I’ve been using lately, it’s like a mantra. Go where you’re celebrated, not tolerated. There’s no other comedy original programming on TIDAL. I’m known as the comedy guy of Roc Nation and around the TIDAL people.
It’s not the normal route most people go, but whatever the normal route is now wasn’t always the normal route. The first person to do a Netflix comedy special looked crazy. The first person to do an HBO special back in the day looked crazy.
I love music. Music is my life. Combining comedy and hip-hop is my main goal in life. So bringing a comedy show to a musical platform only makes sense.

This isn’t even a tenth of the talent that I have or can expose. People are like, “Why do it on there? It’ll be a waste.” But it’s not a waste but a stepping stone.
I want this to get more comedians and comedy on TIDAL. I want more sketch shows, stand-up shows, comedians doing their own thing on TIDAL. I want to do more hour-long specials.
This is just to open up the door to comedy to that world.
