Drizzy’s fourth studio album will just be the most recent example of artists presenting their work on a certain platform.

Fellow rhymer Kanye West premiered his The Life Of Pablo on Tidal. In addition, the Jay Z led company had initial exclusivity rights for Rihanna’s Anti and Lil Wayne’s Free Weezy Album.
