Description
This hip-hop catalog is made up of songs released in the last two years and includes established names such as Puff Daddy and Jason Derulo along with up-and-coming artists Zoey Dollaz and DeJ Loaf. In the last 12 months, this catalog of seven songs generated $5,823 in royalty income.
Making up over half of this catalog's income is Zoey Dollaz's breakout single, “Blow a Check.” The Miami rapper released the hit single in August 2015 and the song immediately gained traction in the Miami club scene. It caught the attention of Puff Daddy who remixed the song with rapper French Montana and included it on his 2015 mixtape MMM. Both the original and the Puff Daddy remix are included in this auction, as well as an unreleased remix of the song featuring Rae Sremmurd. Zoey Dollaz will be a part of fellow rapper Future's upcoming tour, “The Nobody Safe Tour” which will allow him to gain popularity and expand his fan base. There are over 30 tour dates scheduled throughout the United States in May and June. If Zoey Dollaz performs “Blow a Check” on this tour, you earn public performance royalties.
DeJ Loaf is another artist who has been gaining traction in the hip-hop world. DeJ Loaf had a whirlwind of fame when she first came on the scene in 2014 with her hit song “Try Me.” She was then signed to Columbia Records, released her All Jokes Aside mix tape, and then the well-received EP #AndSeeThatsTheThing. Her song “Been On My Grind” was on that EP and is included in this catalog. DeJ Loaf is scheduled to release her long-awaited solo debut, Liberated, this year. Also included in this catalog is “Naked” by established hip-hop artist Jason Derulo. “Naked” was released in 2016 and today the song has over 5.5 million YouTube views. Derulo is getting ready to release his upcoming single “Swalla” with Nicki Minaj and Ty Dolla $ign and has plans to release a new album this year.
