Rakim Launches New Notes AI-Powered Fintech Platform
Written by djfrosty on January 28, 2025
Rakim is responsible for changing the way rappers approach rhyming in the 1980s and is regarded as the greatest living MC of all time. Now, Rakim is moving into the fintech space via his new AI-powered Notes platform.
The God MC’s new platform, Notes, combines “music, money, and knowledge” aimed at empowering independent musicians and aiding them in their quest for financial freedom. Further, Notes exists to provide its users with financial literacy, music business education, and more to help them in their creative aims.
Among the features of the Notes platform are connections to find loans or credit providers to raise capital, AI-powered financial literacy, and entrepreneurial education content, membership-focused access, and an “Ask RA” feature, which is an AI-powered vocal rendering of Rakim that serves as your online assistant within the Notes community.
“Independent urban music artists and creators often struggle to gain financial stability despite their market impact,” Rakim shared in a statement. “With Notes, we’re building a community- and lifestyle-driven platform that combines cultural connection, technology, and empowerment to give them the tools they need to thrive.”
The Notes platform is headed up by Rakim and his longtime associate Divine, who also offered a statement of his own.
“The opportunity to partner with Rakim and build a platform like Notes, to empower and support artists and creators in the urban community who have been underserved and exploited for so long, is unprecedented,” Divine says.
While still in its early stages, Notes will continue to develop the platform to include business banking, debit cards, peer-to-peer payment services, and more.
