JME is offering fans a share in his streaming revenue.
He’s been building a direct to consumer business empire through Boy Better Know for decades and in the latest move has been using a platform called Stradebase to allow fans to become investors.
His latest freestyle for GRM Daily’s “Invite Only” series, sees him responding to fans asking why his music isn’t on streaming platforms. He frames the argument in simple terms: a £10 monthly subscription. “You gotta run this over 2000 times for me to see £10 a month.” It’s a blunt distillation of a broken system, one that makes the economics of streaming something anyone can understand.
His stance has stayed consistent. “Streaming is where music goes to die,” he once said, and when you look at the numbers, it starts to make sense. Streaming now accounts for over 80% of total recorded music revenues globally, reshaping how music is consumed and, critically, how little of that value filters back to the people who make it.
