LISTING HIGHLIGHTS:

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:
Domestic streaming earnings grew 9% compared to the prior year and generated 32% of total royalties over the last 12 months. International royalties are the leading-contributor with 42% of last year’s earnings and showing very stable year-over-year returns.
The top income-producing songs date from 1998 through 2015, which provides built-in diversity through the mix of older and newer releases.

Royalties for the second highest-earning title, “Definition,” grew 14% last year, which is noteworthy for a 22-year-old release.
ABOUT THE CATALOG:
This catalog earns royalties from critically-acclaimed artists Anderson .Paak, 50 Cent, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Hi-Tek, Common, and others, with over 200 tracks spanning two decades.
Anderson .Paak’s “Come Down” anchors this offering with 59% of last year’s earnings. The funk-influenced single was released on .Paak’s 2015 Malibu. The record received widespread praise from critics and fans, a Grammy nomination for Best Urban Contemporary Album, and peaked at No. 9 on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Album chart.
“Come Down” has been licensed and used in various TV programming, as well as the 2018 feature film Pacific Rim (and its accompanying soundtrack). To date, the track has nearly 80 million spins on Spotify.
This collection also features tracks from well-respected hip-hop acts of the late 1990s/early 2000s. This includes Black Star’s 1999 critically-acclaimed album Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star. Notable titles from the record include “Respiration” (featuring Common) and “Definition.” There is also “Blast” from Reflection Eternal's 2001 album. And the No. 1 rap single “Move Somethin’” from Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek, dating back to 2000.
Rounding out top-earners is “Get In My Car” (2005) from rapper 50 Cent. The track is off the No. 1, Grammy Award-nominated album The Massacre.
Key Drivers
Dollar Age. This catalog has a Dollar Age of 8.73 years. This means the majority of royalties earned in the last 12 months came from songs that have collected royalties for nearly nine years. A high Dollar Age like this suggests stability and longevity. This can help sustain a catalog's earnings moving forward.
Hip-Hop & Streaming. This catalog is a perfect example of two trends: hip-hop and streaming's growth worldwide. According to BuzzAngle's 2019 Year-End Report, hip-hop is the most popular genre of music in the U.S. The driver for the increase is streaming. Six out of the top 10 streamed songs were hip-hop/rap and 52 out of the top 100 most streamed songs were hip-hop/rap. This can be seen in this catalog as streaming grew 9% year-over-year.
