Description
Up for auction is a streaming-driven catalog featuring current heavyweights from the hip-hop team Dreamville Records including label-creator J.Cole, Bas, K-Quick and more. Streaming earnings make up the majority of the earnings, contributing to over 85% of revenue historically. What’s good news for the winning investor is over the last two years, streaming earnings have remained consistent.
It’s no surprise streaming drives this catalog’s earnings. On YouTube alone, this collection’s highest-earning work “Lit” claims over 10 million spins, contributing to 41% of earnings in the last year. Released in 2014 to the label compilation album Revenge of the Dreamers, the track benefits from placement on the album alongside all Dreamville Records artists. The Bas track features labelmate J.Cole who alone, currently claims over 25 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
In addition, the J.Cole track “Rich Niggaz” contributes to 36% of earnings in the last 12 months alone. Featured on J.Cole’s certified Platinum 2013 album Born Sinner, the album itself debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200, eventually climbing to a number one seat in its third week on the chart.
Additionally, this track benefits from one new release in Bas and A$AP Ferg’s “Boca Raton.” Released in 2018, this track has only just begun to earn. As the winning investor, you are entitled to all future royalties generated by the new release.
Key Drivers
Streaming/Hip-Hop. This catalog is a perfect example of two trends: hip-hop and streaming's growth worldwide. According to BuzzAngle's 2018 Year End Report, hip-hop is the most popular genre of music in the U.S. The driver for the increase is streaming. Hip-hop/rap tracks accounted for more than a quarter of all on-demand plays on music streaming services in the US in 2018. Streaming accounts for 99% of this catalog’s earnings over the last 12 months.
