he Impact of Streaming Platforms on Hip Hop - A Double-edged Sword?

With the rise of digital streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and Tidal, the music industry, and specifically, hip hop, has seen a significant transformation. These platforms have certainly democratized music access, allowing lesser-known artists to reach global audiences.

However, it's also led to an oversaturation of the market, with an overwhelming volume of music being released every day. This could potentially make it harder for artists to stand out. Additionally, there's the controversy surrounding the fairness of streaming royalties, which often seem to favor the platform over the artist.

What are your thoughts on this? Has the rise of streaming platforms been more beneficial or detrimental to hip hop?
