Description
Up for auction is a hip-hop catalog featuring Atlanta's own T.I., along with other well-known names. In the last 12 months, this asset has produced $5,233 in earnings.
The highest earning track in the collection is “ASAP” from T.I. The song accounts for 65% of historic earnings, and was the third single from his third album, Urban Legend. Released in 2004, “ASAP” peaked at No. 75 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 18 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The song is Gold-certified and featured on the soundtrack to the 2005 video game, Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition.
Another catalog highlight is “J O D D” from Trick Daddy, featuring Khia and Tampa Tony. Originally released in 2004, the song brings in 13% of the catalog's income. What's interesting about this track is that the majority of its earnings come from TV and film. “J O D D” was used in the 2005 Steve Carell film The 40 Year Old Virgin. Every time the film plays on TV, a royalty is generated. In fact, it's scheduled to play on IFC this Thursday... as the winner of this auction, you'll collect those royalties.
Finally, other tracks included in the catalog are: “I'm About To Get Her” by LL Cool J featuring R Kelly, "Life Is Life" from Cap 1, “Wonderful Life” by T.I. featuring Akon and “Last of A Dying Breed” by Young Jeezy featuring Trick Daddy.
Key Drivers
Recently, hip-hop overtook rock as the most popular genre of music in the U.S. Hip-hop accounts for 25.1% of all music consumption with rock right behind it at 23%. Digital streaming is the driver for the increase, outlined by Nielsen's report.
What's exciting is that this catalog is a perfect example of these two trends: hip-hop and streaming's worldwide growth. Although just 8% of the catalog's income currently comes from streaming, streaming's contribution to overall earnings grew 14% over the last four quarters. Specifically, the track “Last of a Dying Breed” is seeing a 57% growth rate in the last 12 months as a result of increased earnings from three streaming sources: Pandora, Apple Music and Spotify.
