Songwriting Royalties for QUE.

In 2013, one Atlanta trap single reset the tone for a wave of street rap that followed. "OG Bobby Johnson" borrowed its name from a South Central legend, its menace from the era's rising trap sound, and it hit hard enough that Snoop Dogg, A$AP Ferg, and Pusha T were on the remix within a year. That's not a footnote. That's a co-sign from three different corners of hip-hop confirming the record had crossed over.

Twelve years later, the song is still working. It moves about 5.4 million tracked plays a year, and by itself earned over $1,000 in LTM performance royalties — roughly 43% of this catalog's total take. That's rare staying power for a 2013 hip-hop single.

The catalog around it reads like a mid-2010s Southern hip-hop scrapbook: features and collabs with Snoop Dogg, A$AP Ferg, Pusha T, Trey Songz, August Alsina, Migos, and Young Dolph. There's also a featured turn on the Low Pros cut "Who Wanna Play," which has quietly grown into the catalog's top sync earner. It has landed on "Life of the Party," "Good Girls," "CSI: Cyber," and "Hit the Floor" — real income, spread across real shows.

The earnings themselves tell a calm story. The catalog has produced between roughly $2,400 and $2,850 in each of the last four calendar years, and LTM sits about 8% below the three-year average. Streaming carries about 82% of the load. TV/film sync adds another 11%. Radio, satellite radio, and streaming-video royalties fill in the rest.

Then there's the plot twist. About a third of LTM earnings arrive from outside the United States. Some of that is textbook: steady streaming in Canada, France, the UK, Germany, and Australia. But "Diamonds" (feat. August Alsina) has been quietly earning real money in Asia for three straight years — a foreign audience that keeps showing up, quarter after quarter.

The main risk is worth naming: the anchor track drives about 43% of LTM, and the top five tracks together produce roughly 86%. If the lead cut fades, the whole catalog moves with it. But through 2025 the anchor didn't fade — its quarterly earnings actually climbed (Q1 $251 → Q4 $280). The half-life keeps stretching.

For an investor, this is what an aged, streaming-first catalog looks like once the noise has burned off: a defining trap record still in rotation, a deep bench of A-list features, sync placements paying across multiple shows, and international income already on the ledger. The wild swings of the release years are behind it. What remains is the quiet part — twelve years of steady quarterly checks that have kept landing.

The catalog centers on mid-2010s Atlanta trap and Southern hip-hop. Its lead track, "OG Bobby Johnson" (2013), also has a 2014 remix featuring Snoop Dogg, A$AP Ferg, and Pusha T.

The collaborations run wide: "Diamonds" (2014) with August Alsina, "Too Much" (2014) with Trey Songz, "Weak" (2015) with Young Dolph, "Young Nigga" (2013) with Migos, and a featured turn on the Low Pros track "Who Wanna Play" (2015).

Solo cuts include "From the Jump," "Uno Dos Tres," "Awe Man," "Prayer Hands," and the rest of the 2015–2016 mixtape material.
