I'm happy it won. I kind of expected and I think it is quite cool too.
However, this lawsuit. Woah. I was suggested to get Tidal to stream his music, (which I did), for other reasons; however, I forgot to stream his music on the apps. But woah, that's something else. I thought Tidal had control over his whole discography but I guess not. Woah.

Local record stores started selling "4ever" over the weekend so "Moonbeam Levels" has leaked in HQ it's basically a mastered version of the bootleg recording that's been around for ages. I guess that's why WB snatched all the links from YT when they announced "4ever".

Jay Z's Roc Nation Wanted To Manage Prince's Music, Court Documents Show By Associated Press | December 07, 2016 1:09 AM EST
Court documents show that Roc Nation, the entertainment company founded by rap mogul Jay Z, tried but failed to get chosen to manage Prince's musical assets in the weeks after the rock superstar's death.
The documents stem from a dispute between Prince's record company and Jay Z's music streaming service Tidal, which is playing out in both state and federal court in Minnesota.

The trust company overseeing Prince's estate says the dispute belongs only in federal court, where PRN Records is suing Roc Nation for copyright infringement for making a large part of Prince's catalog available to its subscribers, allegedly without permission.
A closed hearing is set for Thursday (Dec. 8) in Carver County probate court. Roc Nation has not formally responded to the copyright lawsuit, which NPG Records filed last month.

Prince's 'Purple Rain' Reissue Packed With Unreleased Music, Concert FilmsTwo albums of unearthed songs from Prince's vaults and two complete concerts to accompany remastered 1984 masterpiece By Daniel Kreps February 12, 2017 With Prince's music on the verge of returning to all streaming services, Warner Bros. Records announced Sunday that the long-awaited reissue of the 1984 classic Purple Rain will arrive this June packed with previously unreleased music and concert films from the Paisley Park vault. "The first thing [the studio] said was, 'Is it possible to ask if John Travolta can play Prince?'" recalls Albert Magnoli The Purple Rain reissue, the first posthumous Prince release since the Prince 4Ever compilation featuring the unearthed "Moonbeam Levels" arrived in November, is due out June 9th. The reissue pairs the newly remastered Purple Rain with "two incredible albums of previously unreleased Prince music and two complete concert films." The exact contents of that bonus material have not yet been announced. "When we make any of Prince’s music available to fans - from the hits to unreleased gems - we are committed to upholding Prince’s high creative standards and we know fans will be thrilled when they hear these albums and see these films," Warner Bros. Records CEO Cameron Strang said in a statement. After 18 months as a Tidal exclusive, Prince's catalog will return to all digital music services by the time the Grammys air, Warner Bros. Records stated, with the music starting to appear on streaming services as early as noon Sunday. On Sunday night, the Grammys will pay tribute to Prince with a special musical performance. "Prince recorded his most influential and popular music during his time with Warner Bros. and we are deeply aware of our responsibility to safeguard and nurture his incredible legacy," Strang continued. "Warner Bros. is thrilled to be able to bring Prince’s music to his millions of fans around the world via streaming services, fittingly on music's biggest night." www.rollingstone.com/music/news/princes-purple-rain-reissue-packed-with-unreleased-music-w466431

I hope The Black Album and Gold Experience get released or at least on streaming. I know the former was on Tidal for awhile. It's a shame that TMBGITW has been omitted from all compilations because of the weird label release that Warner Bros. agreed to - it's his only UK #1 single and his last hit - no offense to IHU.

"Deliverance" is getting airplay at Urban AC and Triple A (among the greatest gainers at both formats). I'm surprised they're not issuing cease and desists.
