Description

This catalog is on the rise! Up for auction is a unique opportunity to earn from the hit single “Fruit Punch” from up-and-coming hip-hop artist Kaiydo, and more. After gaining recognition through the online streaming platform SoundCloud, Florida native Kaiydo came onto the scene in 2016 with this hit. The track has tallied up over 1 million views YouTube video, and made up 83% of this catalog’s earnings in the last 12 months.

This listing also includes the track “Atlantis (Remix)” which features both Kaiydo and Bridgit Mendler, known for her early 2000’s start as an actress on Disney Channel. Mendler claims an impressive following on Spotify, averaging over 1.6 million listeners per month. Stereogum called “Atlantis (Remix)” one of The Top 40 Pop Songs of 2016. The song alone contributes to 19% of this catalog’s royalties to date.

Kaiydo has since appeared at such music festival as Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, the Firefly Festival, and Electric Forest during 2017. Live performances expose Kaiydo to a variety of new fans, and benefit you as the winning investor.

Key Drivers

Hip-Hop & Streaming. Hip-hop overtook rock in 2017 as the most popular genre of music in the U.S. Now, in the first half of 2018 it accounts for 31% of all music consumption. According to the Nielsen report, total consumption of Urban songs (Hip-Hop/Rap and R&B) grew by 18% in both sales and streams.

This catalog is a perfect example of these two trends: hip-hop and streaming's growth worldwide. Streaming accounts for 81% of this catalog’s earnings over the last 12 months and these earnings are growing!

On Spotify, artist Kaiydo has over 213,000 monthly listeners. The track “Fruit Punch” alone has over 19 million streams and counting. In the last 12 months, “Fruit Punch” collected over double what it earned in the preceding year.
