Gucci Mane, Yo Gotti, + more - Songwriting & Publishing Royalties

This catalog sits at the intersection of credibility and cultural momentum, and the names behind it - Gucci Mane, Yo Gotti, Lil Baby, Lil Durk, Moneybagg Yo, and others - aren’t fringe contributors. They’re foundational voices in modern hip-hop, artists who’ve shaped the sound of the last decade while continuing to operate at scale.

Gucci Mane’s “Serial Killers” and “Bluffin” have generated tens of millions of streams and sustained digital traction, while Yo Gotti’s “Steppers” landed during the Gangsta Art campaign, which debuted Top 5 on the Billboard 200. Instead of isolated singles, these songs sit within active catalogs and commercial ecosystems that continue to drive attention and consumption.

And beneath the headline tracks, there’s real structure. Nearly 30% of last twelve months’ earnings came from outside the top five songs. That tells you this isn’t dependent on one moment or one record. 

With a Dollar Age of just over three years, the catalog feels current, but it’s already proving it can convert that relevance into recurring income.

Gucci Mane is an Atlanta trap pioneer whose prolific catalog and influence have helped define modern Southern hip-hop, both through his own releases and his role in elevating emerging artists. Among his recent standouts, “Serial Killers” (2022) has surpassed 25 million Spotify streams and generated over 75 million YouTube views, serving as a consistent digital performer, while “Bluffin” (2023) is approaching 35 million Spotify streams with strong playlist support. While neither track marked a major standalone awards or headline chart moment, both demonstrate sustained streaming traction and reinforce Gucci Mane’s continued relevance in the current consumption cycle.

Yo Gotti is a Memphis-born rapper, executive, and founder of CMG who has built a career spanning more than a decade, earning multiple Billboard 200 top-10 albums and platinum-certified singles while helping elevate artists like Moneybagg Yo and 42 Dugg. His 2022 track “Steppers” reflects his signature sound - gritty production, street-focused lyricism, and a commanding delivery, and arrived during the rollout of the CMG collective project Gangsta Art, which debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200. The track contributes to that broader commercial run and reinforces Yo Gotti’s sustained relevance as both an artist and label head in today’s hip-hop landscape. The track achieved an RIAA Gold Certification in Feb 2026.
