Jay Z's debut album "Reasonable Doubt" disappeared from Spotify yesterday. But you can still listen to the classic release on the Jay Z owned TIDAL streaming music service.

TIDAL has promised high profile exclusives, including this week's Beyonce Tidal-only release, as a major drawing card. Record contracts and other deals will often get in the way, but you can expect more and more exclusives over time.

**Jay Z Says Fans Will Be Forced To Chose**

When asked last week during a Q&A at the Clive Davis Institute, if fans would be forced to between chose services, Jay Z replied,

"At some point, they’ll be faced with that decision. Again, there will be other things. This isn’t just about music; it’s also about concert ticketing. It’s a holistic place where the artists will live in. You may be able to download a song for free, but you’re not getting into concerts for free. There are different things that we offer. It’s not just songs – we’re offering value.”
