Lil Baby, 42 Dugg + More Songwriter Royalties

This listing features Lil Baby’s multi-platinum hit “Grace,” featuring 42 Dugg, and more.

In its first year, the catalog generated just over $40,000. By Year 5, earnings had adjusted to about $22,000. The biggest shift came in Year 3, when revenue declined by nearly 25%. After that, the changes became smaller, suggesting the catalog wasn’t in free fall—it was settling into a new level.

With a dollar age of more than 5.5 years, this catalog has been earning across multiple cycles. And the most recent data tells an important story. Over the last four quarters, payments ranged from about $5,365 to $5,641, averaging roughly $5,498 per quarter. That’s only about a 2% difference between quarters—a relatively tight band for royalty income.

“Grace” by Lil Baby featuring 42 Dugg was released on February 28, 2020 as part of Lil Baby’s second studio album My Turn. Upon release, “Grace” debuted at No. 48 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached No. 23 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, while also climbing to No. 17 on the Rolling Stone Top 100. It quickly achieved commercial success, earning 2× Platinum certification from the RIAA. The music video, released on March 13, 2020, drew widespread attention due to its powerful visual narrative. Set in church pews and prison corridors, the video paired themes of street life and redemption with intimate, real-life context.

“Bankroll” by Rich The Kid and NBA YoungBoy was released on October 16, 2020, as the lead single from their joint mixtape Nobody Safe. The song pairs aggressive trap production with confident verses centered on wealth and power, showcasing the chemistry between the two artists.
