It’s hard not to draw the parallel between the new initiative of the native of Philly and that of Jay-Z. Even though Beyoncé’s husband seems to have had all the trouble in the world to compete with Spotify, Deezer and Apple Music via his TIDAL, Meek Mill announces wanting to hit even harder.

Meek Mill against platforms?
Ambitious, Meek Mill certainly is. The rapper just announced want to launch their own music streaming platform, with the idea of paying artists more fairly. While the details of this project are still relatively unclear as of this writing, it looks like names like Lil Baby, Lil Durk and 21 Savage are already ready to follow Meek. It seems that the general idea is to allow artists to own a share of the platform in order to enjoy a greater share of revenue from their listening. Visionary, Meek Mill? On Twitter, after announcing his intention to upgrade the rights of artists in his own way, he nevertheless spoke of the need to surround himself with some of the talents of Silicon Valley.

A costly and complex investment
Because casually, a platform of such a scale, it does not build itself, as he himself detailed: «Myself, Lil Baby and Durkio are trying to find someone in Silicon Valley to build a music platform in which we would be the majority shareholders. We need Silicon Valley! 21 Savage is on an adventure, we’re going to need options on the app, we’re looking for the best ones to build the platform. We will try to start in 2021.»
