Jay-Z's company has been illegally streaming all of Prince's
music since June 2016, according to TMZ. Nearly every song Prince ever recorded
is currently available to stream on Tidal.
However, before Prince's death, an agreement between NPG
Records, which represents the late Purple Rain hit-maker, and Jay-Z's Roc
Nation agreed that Tidal could stream one album.
Permission was given to Tidal to stream 'Hit N Run: Phase
1', which was the last album Prince ever recorded, according to court
documents.
However, NPG claims Roc Nation took this to mean it could
stream all of the singer's music but the record label disputes this.
NPG claims this was never authorized but Roc Nation says it
has 'oral and written' permission, although it has yet to produce the material.
