Eddy Cue, Apple’s services chief and a well-known NBA fan, was involved in the deal. He said Apple is excited about the partnership and that the playlist is designed to support emerging and established independent “urban artists.”
Although Apple will manage the playlist, most of the songs come from UnitedMasters, a new music label that works with over 190,000 indie artists.
