Now, the streaming platform has a revenue model for artists, and they are quite proud of what they've been able to build. SoundCloud has had a huge role in the development of hip-hop, and for many, the success of SoundCloud is pivotal to the entire music industry. Unfortunately, with change comes various challenges, and SoundCloud understands this all too well.
