Description
Up for bid is a group of recently released hip-hop tracks, giving you early access to public performance royalties from up-and-coming artists.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:
Domestic streaming is the top contributor to this offering’s returns, bringing in 80% of royalties in the last 12 months. The top streaming platform is Spotify with 29% of total earnings last year. International sources are the next highest-earner with 15% of royalties.
You’ll notice significant growth rates for domestic streaming and international earnings. This is a result of heavy streaming from the five newest releases: “I Love,” "ISIS," "YouTube Rapper," "Code Red," and "Flamingo."
These five tracks accounted for 73% of returns in the last 12 months. The top single is “I Love” (2018) with 33% of earnings over the last four quarters.
ABOUT THE CATALOG:
This collection features tracks from two budding rappers: Joyner Lucas and Token.
The top song is “I Love” from Joyner Lucas. “I Love” was the lead single (released in October 2018) on Lucas’ forthcoming debut studio album ADHD (released in March 2020). The album entered the Billboard 200 at No. 10 and was Lucas’ first top-10 record. “I Love” is certified Gold and to date, has nearly 124 million streams on Spotify, making it Joyner’s second-most popular song on the platform.
Also from Joyner Lucas is “ISIS” featuring Grammy-nominated Logic, accounting for 21% of last year’s royalties. The unlikely collaboration was a result of the two artists marking the end of a rivalry. The track was released as the third single from ADHD in 2019 and debuted at No. 59 on the Billboard Hot 100, Joyner’s highest-charting song as the lead artist. “ISIS” is Joyner’s most popular song on Spotify with 155+ million spins.
The remaining top tracks in the catalog come from artist Token and combined bring in 19% of earnings in the last 12 months. Both “YouTube Rapper” featuring hip-hop veteran Tech N9ne and “Flamingo” are from Token’s 2018 album Between Somewhere, along with a freestanding single “Code Red.”
