Eric Bellinger’s “G.O.A.T” - Songwriter Royalties

This catalog features “G.O.A.T.” and “G.O.A.T. 2.0” by Grammy Award–winning songwriter and R&B artist Eric Bellinger, along with “We Not Lazy” by Money Man.

In 2017, the catalog generated about $1,250 — a quiet start before breaking out in 2018 with $5,272. It held strong in 2019 at $5,120 and peaked in 2020 at $5,728, before cooling to $3,579 in 2021. Then came the reset. Earnings rebounded to $4,497 in 2022, followed by $4,201 in 2023 and $4,840 in 2024, with 2025 continuing to generate income. Not explosive — resilient. Over time, the swings begin to level out into something steadier.

Zoom out, and the deeper signal appears.

With a 9+ year dollar age, these songs have already moved through nearly a decade of market cycles. That kind of longevity matters. And across the most recent five-year stretch, the catalog has delivered a nearly flat 0.27% CAGR. In music, that kind of equilibrium often signals something powerful: the songs have settled into durable listening habits.

“G.O.A.T.” was released on September 30, 2016 as part of Eric B. For President: Term 1 and features Aroc, an R&B vocalist who collaborated with Bellinger during this period. The song earned RIAA Gold certification and has generated more than 292 million streams on Spotify and over 40 million views on YouTube. In 2017, it sparked the viral #GOATChallenge, encouraging fan-created dance and performance videos that expanded the song’s reach across social platforms. Its performance has been driven by sustained streaming activity and direct audience engagement.

Building on the momentum of the original, “G.O.A.T. 2.0” was released on November 17, 2017 as an official follow-up remix featuring Grammy-nominated rapper Wale and later associated with Eric B. For President: Term 2. The remix elevated the song’s profile through a high-visibility collaboration and a cinematic music video starring Teyana Taylor, a singer, actress, and choreographer known for her work in contemporary R&B and visual performances. “G.O.A.T. 2.0” also earned RIAA Gold certification and has generated more than 35 million streams on Spotify, reinforcing the franchise strength of the original release.

The catalog also includes “We Not Lazy” by Atlanta-based rapper Money Man. The song was released on March 6, 2020 as part of his mixtape State of Emergency. The track reflects Money Man’s signature melodic trap style, pairing steady production with his laid-back delivery.
