Cherish, ACRAZE, DaniLeigh, and more - Publishing Royalties

Some catalogs capture a moment in time. This one continues to shape it.

At its core are publishing earnings from contemporary hitmakers like Cherish, DaniLeigh, Acraze, Maeta, Julie Bergan, Eric Bellinger, and Chris Brown, artists whose music moves easily between R&B, pop, and dance floors around the world.

The story begins with steady momentum and early promise, then finds its spark in 2021 when Acraze’s remix of “Do It To It” reignited a mid-2000s anthem for an entirely new generation. That single event sent earnings surging by more than 118% in Year 3 and expanded the catalog’s international footprint, reaching billions of listeners across Spotify, TikTok, and YouTube.

Since then, the catalog has maintained strong visibility through major streaming platforms. “Easy (Remix)” continues to resonate with hundreds of millions of plays, while “Do It To It (Acraze Version)” has crossed the 950-million-stream mark, proof of songs that listeners keep returning to.

With a Dollar Age of 5.87 years and a five-year CAGR of 5.19%, this body of work reflects both maturity and ongoing cultural relevance. Its enduring presence across global playlists and social platforms suggests a catalog that, even years after release, continues to pulse through modern music culture.

Cherish is an American R&B girl group from Atlanta, Georgia, known for blending smooth harmonies with the energetic “Crunk&B” sound of the mid-2000s. They first gained attention on Da Brat’s “In Love Wit Chu” before breaking through with their 2006 debut album Unappreciated, which debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and went Gold. Its lead single, “Do It to It” featuring Sean P of YoungBloodZ, became their signature hit, peaking at No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spending 21 weeks on the chart while topping BET’s 106 & Park countdown. The track’s playful hook and dance-floor swagger made it a defining anthem of the Crunk&B era, blending Southern hip-hop rhythms with R&B melody. Decades later, the 2021 ACRAZE remix re-introduced “Do It to It” to a global audience, turning the original’s catchy refrain into an international club hit and cementing its legacy as a timeless crossover between R&B and dance music.

DaniLeigh is a Dominican-American singer, songwriter, dancer, and choreographer from Miami, Florida, known for fusing R&B, hip-hop, and Latin influences with smooth, melodic delivery. After starting as a dancer and working with artists like Prince, she gained recognition for her confident style and slick choreography. Her 2018 single “Easy” from the EP The Plan became a breakout moment, showcasing a softer, more vulnerable side through laid-back production, airy vocals, and intimate lyrics about effortless love. The “Easy (Remix)”, featuring Chris Brown and released in 2019, elevated the track further, Brown’s verse added a flirtatious back-and-forth dynamic that amplified its sensual tone while broadening its mainstream appeal. The remix charted on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay list and became one of DaniLeigh’s defining hits, praised for its chemistry, sleek visuals, and smooth blend of contemporary R&B and classic slow-jam allure, solidifying her reputation as one of the genre’s fresh, modern voices.

Maeta is an Indianapolis-born R&B singer signed to Roc Nation, known for her smooth blend of soul and electronic influences. Her 2023 track “Questions”, produced by Kaytranada, highlights her vulnerability and emotional depth, while their continued collaboration on the 2024 EP “Endless Night”, especially the standout “DJ Got Me”, showcases a more dance-driven, hypnotic sound. With lush production and effortless sensuality, Maeta has emerged as one of R&B’s most forward-thinking voices.
