artist development program that funds and supports artists from all around the world so that they can create content that reaches a bigger audience and creates a greater impact . The Class of 2021 includes Seedhe Maut , a Hip-Hop artist from New Delhi , India . The spirit of celebration of artists and building of communities can be highlighted through this program and YouTube Music has made a huge name for itself through this .
YouTube Music allows Chromecast connectivity but unfortunately isn ’ t compatible with many devices . It seems to have the potential to grow bigger than its competitors . It will be exciting to see what Google does with this new platform .
Is there a winner in this war ? These clashes of technology and business in the music space have been going on for a long time but these three rivals always end up rising to the top . That is because each of them has something fresh to offer and it seems like they balance the boat of music streaming
with their perks and lurks .
It feels like this war will only result in all three platforms putting their best foot forward , bringing new innovations occasionally to get ahead in this neverending race .
Who needs a winner when you have three tech giants fighting for your attention right ?
