The album HitNRun, which was written and recorded in just three months, will stream on Jay Z's service from 7 September (15), Rollingstone.com announced on Friday (07Aug15).

The album, which will feature the singer's backing band 3rdEyeGirl, comes after single Hardrocklover was released last month (Jul15).

The Purple Rain hitmaker previously withdrew his back catalogue from other music streaming sites - including Spotify - in early July (15), citing low royalty payments.

Prince said in a statement on Friday, "After one meeting, it was obvious that Jay Z and the team he has assembled at Tidal recognise and applaud the effort that real musicians put in 2 (to) their craft 2 (to) achieve the very best they can at this pivotal time in the music industry... Secondly, Tidal have honoured us with a non-restrictive arrangement that once again allows us to continue making art in the fashion we've grown accustomed 2 (to) and we're extremely grateful 4 (for) their generous support. And lastly, in the tech-savvy, real-time world We all live in 2day (today), everything is faster. From its conception and that one & only meeting, HitNRun took about 90 days 2 (to) prepare its release. If that's what freedom feels like, HitNRun is what it sounds like (sic)."

Tidal previously worked with Prince on his Baltimore Rally 4 Peace concert in memory of Freddie Gray, whose death in police custody in April (15) prompted riots and protests throughout the city.

Jay Z said of the music streaming site's collaboration with Prince, “Prince has always been a visionary, a free-thinker. We're honoured to offer his breadth of work, 1999, Purple Rain, etc., music that has inspired so many, on Tidal. We're also excited to be the home for his new upcoming album, HitNRun. Both Prince and Tidal share the belief that all creatives should have the opportunity to speak directly to those that love and support them. This partnership with Prince represents Tidal's philosophy in its truest form, a 1 to 1 connection and direct delivery of artistry to the world."
