A new fintech platform, “Notes,” is generating buzz in the music industry for its potential to empower independent artists in the urban music scene. Founded by legendary Hip-Hop/Rap recording artist, pioneer, and icon RAKIM. Along with fellow rap pioneer and fintech entrepreneur Divine Lombard, who founded Solvent, the world’s first ‘super neobank’, Notes aims to provide artists with the financial tools, educational resources, and community support they need to thrive.
RAKIM emphasized the platform’s holistic approach: “With Notes, getting ‘paid in full’ is beyond just the money, it’s also about the knowledge and understanding of the urban music game from a position of being conscious of how it all works as a business, and how to leverage that to thrive and succeed as independent urban music artists and creators.”
While details are still emerging, Notes is expected to offer a range of features, including financial management tools, educational content, and music distribution capabilities. Industry observers are particularly interested in how the platform will integrate financial tools with educational resources to provide artists with a comprehensive understanding of the business side of music.
Notes is also anticipated to foster a vibrant community of artists, providing opportunities for collaboration, networking, and mutual support. The platform’s potential to revolutionize the music industry for independent artists has been noted, and many are eagerly awaiting its official launch.
