Burna Boy & Don Toliver - Songwriting Royalties

This is a young catalog, and that is the appeal. It holds a writer's share of just two songs, both new and both still working: Don Toliver's "Kryptonite," the opening track of his 2024 album Hardstone Psycho, and Burna Boy's "Don't Let Me Drown," written for the 2025 blockbuster F1 The Movie. Both pay one kind of income: the writer's public performance royalty. That means they earn every time either song is streamed, spun on satellite radio, performed live, or aired inside a film. Neither song has had much time to build an earnings history yet, and that is the point. A buyer steps in early, near the front of the curve, on two songs from two artists who are in their prime and on the road right now.

Look at what each song brings. "Kryptonite" opens Hardstone Psycho, which debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and hit No. 1 on both the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Top Rap Albums charts. As the album's first track, it is the song listeners hear first. Don Toliver also opens his live shows with it, which is why concert plays show up clearly in the earnings. "Don't Let Me Drown" sits on F1 The Album, the official soundtrack to the Apple Original Film. That one placement is why this catalog earns in places most two-song catalogs never reach: cinemas, streaming video, on-demand film platforms, and satellite radio. It also earns from theaters, but only abroad. The United States is the rare market where cinemas pay no performance royalty, so the song's theater income comes entirely from overseas, part of why so much of its earnings are international.

Two things belong in plain view. First, this is a two-song position, so it rides on two records instead of a deep catalog. Second, the most recent quarter, 4Q2025, is the largest so far. It was lifted by the first wave of F1 plays as the film ran in theaters and hit its earliest streaming windows. Those opening windows pay the most. What comes next, from steady streaming, rebroadcasts, and live plays, is likely to settle below that quarter rather than match it. The honest read is that the recent high is a launch, not a run rate.

For an investor, the case is timing. Both songs are new, both artists are active and touring, and a major film keeps the second song in play across streaming and rebroadcast for years to come, not at the launch-quarter high, but as a steady, long-tail floor beneath the catalog. The appeal is a front-row seat to two current songs, not a settled catalog whose best years are already behind it.

This catalog pairs two current, commercially significant records from two of today's most globally recognized artists.

Don Toliver, the Houston singer and rapper signed to Travis Scott's Cactus Jack label, released Hardstone Psycho on June 14, 2024, through Cactus Jack and Atlantic Records. "Kryptonite" is the album's opening track, a rock-tinged, guitar-driven cut, and it debuted at No. 29 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart the week the album arrived. The record was Don Toliver's biggest commercial moment to date, and "Kryptonite" has anchored the front of his live sets on the supporting tour.

Burna Boy, the Grammy-winning Nigerian Afrofusion star, wrote and performed "Don't Let Me Drown" for F1 The Album, the official soundtrack to the 2025 Apple Original Film F1 The Movie, directed by Joseph Kosinski and distributed in theaters by Warner Bros. Released June 27, 2025 alongside the film, it appears among 17 original songs from a global roster, with an official music video shot at the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix. The soundtrack passed 300 million streams in its opening days.

Together, they give the catalog two distinct engines: a charting album cut that keeps working live, and a soundtrack song tied to a worldwide film release.
