They’re Not Like Us: Why Recordian Stands Apart in the Music Industry
In Kendrick Lamar's song "They Not Like Us," he emphasizes the difference between the true innovators and the rest. This theme perfectly captures Recordian’s unique position in the music industry, distinguishing it from both Web2 and Web3 competitors. Unlike other platforms, Recordian is built with a deep understanding of the music industry and a commitment to keeping artists' futures at the forefront.
Web2 Competitors: Not Artist-Centric
Web2 giants like Spotify and Apple Music have transformed music distribution, but they often fall short in supporting the artists themselves. These platforms are primarily business-centric, focusing on maximizing profits rather than ensuring fair compensation and support for artists. The result is a system where artists receive only a fraction of the revenue their work generates, often struggling to make a sustainable income.
These platforms are not designed to empower artists; they do not offer the tools for artists to have full control over their work, nor do they provide transparency in revenue distribution. Instead, they rely on complex contracts and middlemen, leaving artists in the dark about their true earnings. This lack of artist-centric focus hinders the potential for artists to thrive independently.
Web3 Competitors: Lacking Industry Experience and Connections
On the other hand, Web3 music platforms are built on promising decentralized technology but often lack the necessary experience within the music industry. Many of these platforms have industry advisors but no real insider knowledge or personal stakes in the music world. They struggle to navigate the intricacies of the industry, build genuine connections, and establish trust with artists.
Most Web3 platforms are driven by tech enthusiasts rather than music industry veterans. They may understand blockchain and decentralization but often fail to grasp the nuanced needs of artists and the dynamics of the music industry. Their lack of deep-rooted connections and firsthand experience results in platforms that, while technologically advanced, do not fully address the practical challenges artists face.
Recordian: Positioned to Dominate
Recordian, however, is different. We combine the best of both worlds—cutting-edge Web3 technology and profound music industry experience. At the core of Recordian is E.D.I Mean from 2Pac’s Outlawz, not just as an advisor, but as a driving force behind the platform.

This core team brings a wealth of experience and expertise, ensuring that our platform is not only technologically advanced but also deeply attuned to the needs and realities of the music industry. We also have major industry advisors who provide valuable insights and connections, further solidifying our position in the industry.
