Sound Recording Royalties for M.C. Mack

In its early years, this catalog carried the same spirit as the Memphis streets that shaped it—raw, restless, and determined. It wasn’t chasing mainstream charts or industry accolades. Instead, it built its footing slowly, piece by piece, anchored by the underground pull of M.C. Mack’s uncompromising sound.

The turning point came when “EZ Come, EZ Go,” originally released in the mid-90s, found new life. What began as a regional anthem suddenly reached international ears when it was featured on Grand Theft Auto V. That placement didn’t just bring a spike in listeners; it showed the staying power of a track that had already been earning for more than two decades. For a catalog with a Dollar Age of 26.16 years, the GTA feature was proof that longevity can still produce fresh relevance.

Underneath the surface, this catalog shows the quiet strength of endurance. With streaming driving 96% of earnings—led by Spotify and Apple Music—the catalog’s reach is firmly planted in today’s listening habits. Anchored by a signature track that continues to pull in audiences worldwide, it demonstrates how a single cultural touchstone can serve as the engine of long-term value while still leaving room for supporting works to contribute.

Today, this catalog stands as more than just numbers on a royalty statement. It’s a reminder that underground music with authentic roots can achieve both resilience and reinvention. For investors, that makes it a rare mix—historic in age, proven in durability, and still alive in the digital era.
