Description
This catalog features a mix of hip-hop singles from a variety of artists
LISTING HIGHLIGHTS:
- 30-Year Investment Term
- Over 4 Year Dollar Age
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:
Streaming is the top driver for the catalog, bringing 63% of the last 12 months’ earnings, which is consistent with emerging trends across the hip-hop genre.
The observable spike in earnings on the track “Breathe” is the result of international live performance payments. Although this is not expected to be repeated, as the winner of this auction you are entitled to any future one-time payments.
ABOUT THE CATALOG:
This collection features early work from Kevin Gates, Joey Bada$$, and Paris Jones (PJ), among others. What’s more, the track “I’m on 2.0” features Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, and B.O.B.
The highest-earning track in the last 12 months, “Around Me” by Kevin Gates, appeared on Gates’ breakout mixtape The Luca Brasi Story—a mixtape that dropped just prior to his deal with Atlantic Records.
