Hip-Hop Icon Moves Away from Spotify to Embrace Web3, Announces Exclusive Release “Spaceship Party” on Tune.FM

Snoop Dogg is making a bold statement about the future of music streaming, stepping away from Spotify and embracing Tune.FM, the blockchain-powered platform that pays artists instantly per second streamed—offering up to 100x more than traditional streaming services. As part of this partnership, Snoop has released his first exclusive single, “Spaceship Party,” available only on Tune.FM.

Snoop believes in Tune.FM’s mission and wants to support it by actively moving his music to the platform. The collaboration originated from a direct connection between Snoop and Tune.FM’s founder, Andrew Antar, at the Crypto Ball. But this isn’t just a business deal—it’s an artistic alliance. Antar, a classically trained violinist, even joins Snoop on “Spaceship Party,” playing violin on the track. The collaboration underscores Tune.FM’s core philosophy: a streaming platform built by artists, for artists—one that prioritizes musicians’ earnings and creative control.

Tune.FM is redefining the streaming economy with instant per-second payouts, and JAM, The Official Currency of Music—a fully tradable cryptocurrency built on the Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR) network. Unlike major streaming platforms, where artists must wait months for royalty payments, Tune.FM ensures real-time micropayments for every second of a song played, dramatically increasing artist earnings.

Snoop isn’t stopping at just music—he plans to introduce fan experiences and VIP giveaways, including the possibility of private events and exclusive merchandise drops. His vision includes expanding Tune.FM’s marketplace to integrate unique artist-fan interactions, digital collectibles, and NFT-backed ownership models that further blur the lines between music consumption and direct artist support. As part of this strategy, Tune.FM is actively engaging with major labels, distributors, and top-tier artists to bring more exclusive content to the platform.

Already, Tune.FM has attracted hundreds of thousands of active users, reinforcing the demand for a fairer, artist-first streaming model. The platform has been home to exclusive releases from respected artists like Nappy Roots and the Summer of Love compilation, featuring rare and never-before-heard tracks from legendary musicians.

Unlike traditional platforms where users merely rent access to music, Tune.FM enables true ownership of digital music assets, including NFT-backed files that can be collected, traded, and resold. The platform also provides lossless, high-fidelity audio, giving serious music lovers a superior listening experience compared to the compressed formats of mainstream services.
