Ski Mask The Slump God, Sha Gz + More Publishing Royalties

This asset is anchored by two high-energy hip-hop tracks from different corners of the genre: Ski Mask the Slump God’s breakout hit “Nuketown” (2018) and the gritty New York drill record “New Opp” (2023) by Sha Gz. Together they capture two waves of modern rap—from the explosive SoundCloud era to today’s viral drill scene.

With a Dollar Age of nearly six years, these tracks have already demonstrated their ability to generate royalties over time while still sitting relatively early in the lifecycle of streaming music. For investors, this balance can be attractive: the songs have moved beyond the uncertainty of a brand-new release, yet remain young enough to continue benefiting from discovery through playlists, algorithms, and repeat listening.

The catalog’s earnings history also includes a brief transition when Warner Chappell assumed administration in 2H2020. As collections shifted to the new administrator, payments in 2H2020 and 1H2021 do not fully reflect the catalog’s typical earning power. Once the transition was complete, royalties quickly settled into a consistent range. Since then, earnings have stabilized between $40K and $57K per year, averaging roughly $48K annually across the past four periods. Over that same time, the catalog produced a 0.06% CAGR, signaling a steady earnings base.
Part of the stronger 2024 results came from catch-up payments tied to higher streaming mechanical royalty rates, totaling $10,387 in 1H2024 and $5,481 in 2H2024. These payments reflect true-ups for earlier periods that were originally paid at lower rates. While those one-time adjustments should taper off, the higher underlying streaming rates remain in effect, meaning the catalog’s ongoing earnings base benefits even as the temporary boosts fade.

With stable earnings, improved streaming mechanical rates, and songs that continue to reach millions of hip-hop listeners, this catalog presents investors with an opportunity to collect royalties from two tracks firmly embedded in the streaming era of modern rap.

“Nuketown” is a high-energy, aggressive track by Ski Mask the Slump God featuring Juice WRLD, released in 2018, as part of his debut studio album Stokeley. The song showcases trap metal and hardcore hip-hop influences with its explosive “Cutthroat!” hook, frantic delivery, and dark, pop-culture-laced punchlines. It was Ski Mask’s first entry on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #63, and also charted at #32 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, #81 on the Canadian Hot 100, and #10 on New Zealand’s Hot Singles chart. Certified 2× Platinum by the RIAA and Platinum in New Zealand, it became one of his most commercially successful singles. Critically, it was praised for its raw, aggressive energy and Juice WRLD’s uncharacteristically screamed verse—a nod to the late XXXTentacion—cementing the song as a defining, adrenaline-fueled anthem of the SoundCloud era.

“New Opp” is a high-energy drill track by Sha Gz released in 2023 as part of his EP It’s That Sha Gz…, featuring aggressive, street-focused lyrics about confronting enemies. It’s become an underground hit with over 7.5 million SoundCloud plays, strong YouTube traction, and a loyal fanbase drawn to its raw delivery and gritty urban visuals—making it one of Sha Gz’s most popular and widely shared tracks.
