Legendary Rapper Integrates AI Voice Assistant to Educate Creators on Money and Financial Literacy
Hip Hop icon Rakim is stepping into the world of financial technology with his new app, Notes, designed to support independent artists in navigating the often complex world of finance. Aimed at urban music creators, the app connects users with lenders and creditors while offering AI-powered financial literacy content tailored to their needs.
