Jay Z's Tidal Donating $1.5 Million From Charity Concert to Black Lives Matter

Tidal announces that they're donating $1.5 million to Black Lives Matter, On what would have been Trayvon Martin's 21st birthday.

Jay Z's streaming service revealed to Mic that they're going to give out the hefty sum acquired during their charity concert last year to several other local and national social justice organizations.

The streaming service raised the $1.5 million at the first Tidal X: 10/20 charity concert, which was held in Brooklyn last October, and featured performances by Hov, Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Prince, Usher, Lil Wayne, T.I., Damien Marley, Indochine, Fabolous, Thomas Rhett, DJ Cipha Sounds and a lot more.

"The process of acquiring recommendations (for nonprofits) was collaborative and inspired by the message that speaks to racial and social inequities and injustice in our society," Dania Diaz, managing director of philanthropy at Roc Nation, told Mic. "Each year we will support a different initiative. Our ideology is to have a hifi level of consciousness in everything we do."
