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.
One of Notes’ standout features is “Ask RA,” an AI voice assistant that emulates Rakim’s iconic voice to answer questions and offer guidance. The app’s primary goal is to help artists understand and manage their finances, empowering them to make informed decisions that support their long-term success.
Rakim and his longtime associate Divine created Notes to address the financial struggles that many independent artists face. “Independent urban music artists and creators often struggle to gain financial stability despite their market impact,” Rakim explained. “With Notes, we’re building a community- and lifestyle-driven platform that combines cultural connection, technology, and empowerment.”
Interested users can join the app’s waiting list on its website. Notes are poised to be a powerful tool for artists seeking both financial support and education in the fast-evolving music industry.
