That Mexican OT, Yo Gotti + More Publisher Royalties

This catalog is the publisher's share of a cluster of Texas rap records built around one of the genre's fastest-rising acts. Most of the songs carry credits on songs performed by That Mexican OT, the Bay City rapper whose 2024 album Texas Technician carried him from regional favorite to national attention, alongside Yo Gotti's "No Competition." The income runs across the publisher side of these songs: mechanicals as they stream, the publisher's share of public performance, and a thin line of streaming sync.

This is a young asset still establishing its baseline. Its earliest periods were thin, and as recent placements have layered in, the catalog has grown into a working run rate. Setting aside a one-time prior-period payment of roughly $1,853 in 1Q2025, the last several quarters reflect that recurring base rather than the catch-up that briefly inflated early 2025. The recent periods are where this catalog is finding its footing.

There is depth beneath the top tracks too, with close to a third of recent income coming from outside the five largest songs, a long bench of independent Texas cuts that keeps the catalog off any one record. For an investor, the appeal is getting in early on an asset that is finding its level. A stake in the growing catalog of an artist on a clear upward path is the kind of position that can be acquired at a modest entry point before the earnings history is long enough to command a premium.

Yo Gotti is a rapper from North Memphis, Tennessee, and the founder of Collective Music Group (CMG), known for a gruff street style and a long run of commercial success. "No Competition," featuring fellow Memphis rapper Blac Youngsta, was released in 2022 as part of CM10: Free Game, the highest-charting album of his career. The double-disc project debuted at number 3 on the Billboard 200 and number 2 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.

That Mexican OT (Virgil René Gazca) is a rapper from Bay City, Texas, known for blending Southern rap with Tejano influences. This listing features multiple songs from his 2024 mixtape Texas Technician, which debuted on the Billboard 200. “Chicken Strips & Ass,” featuring Houston rapper Paul Wall, was released in 2024 as part of Texas Technician. The track drew attention for its unusual title and throwback Houston sound. Also included on Texas Technician are “Cowboy in a Escalade” and “Crooked Officer,” which showcase different sides of OT’s style. “Cowboy in a Escalade,” featuring Trapboy Freddy, leans into regional pride by combining vivid Texas imagery with car-culture swagger. The mix of country flair and Houston rap creates a playful yet authentic track that underscores OT’s identity. In contrast, “Crooked Officer,” featuring Z-Ro, takes on a more serious tone, offering social commentary on corruption and systemic authority. 

Earnings Note. 1Q25 mechanical royalties include approximately $1,853 attributable to prior periods.
