Ghanaian rapper and singer Kwesi Arthur has dropped his latest project, This Is Not The Tape III. However, unlike his previous releases, this one comes with a catch — fans have to pay $5 before they can stream it.

The project is currently only available on EVEN, a direct-to-fan platform that allows artistes to sell their music directly to fans before distributing it to mainstream streaming platforms.
