Music mogul Jay Z‘s TIDAL entertainment service is doing much more than just putting out Beyoncé’s Lemonade in 2016.

According to reports, Young Hov’s growing streaming platform recently donated $1.5 million to pro-Black organizations and movements like Black Lives Matter.

The announcement was made on the same day that Trayvon Martin would have turned 21 years old. The Trayvon Martin Foundation will get a portion of these funds. Other recipients will include organizations created by families of police brutality victims, such as the Michael O.D. Brown We Love Our Sons and Daughters Foundation and the Oscar Grant Foundation.

Recently, comedian/producer Cipha Sounds spoke to SOHH about joining the TIDAL platform for his popular “No Small Talk” stand-up series.

“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.” (SOHH)

TIDAL is currently one of the only places to hear late music icon Prince’s audio collection.

Prince’s backing of Tidal was deliberate. For all the flak the service has gotten from potential subscribers, he supported its pledge to pay artists for their content. On the day of his death, it’s the only subscription streaming service on which fans can listen to his music. (The Daily Beast)

R&B singer Beyoncé’s new Lemonade album is exclusively streaming on TIDAL.

Tidal holdouts can now experience Beyoncé’s latest. Lemonade is available to download on both iTunes and Amazon, after being sold exclusively on Tidal for 24 hours. The visual album, released Saturday, will continue to stream exclusively on Tidal, and will not be released to Apple Music or other streaming services. (USA Today)
