Sound Recording Royalties for Ski Mask The Slump God

In late 2018, two of rap’s fastest-rising names met on one track. Ski Mask The Slump God had come up through the Fort Lauderdale SoundCloud scene. Juice WRLD was a young Chicago rapper known for his melodic style. Their song “Nuketown” landed on Ski Mask’s debut album, Stokeley, which opened at No. 6 on the Billboard 200. The song climbed to No. 63 on the Billboard Hot 100 and went on to be certified 2x Platinum in the US. Its music video came out in October 2019, weeks before Juice WRLD’s death that December.

Nearly eight years later, “Nuketown” still has a large audience. It had more than 100 million streams in the last twelve months, and the catalog earned $6,781 over that time. 99% came from streaming. Spotify paid about half, Apple Music paid 21%, and YouTube paid 15%. About 75% of earnings come from the US, and the rest is spread over more than 150 countries.

“Nuketown” earns 96% of the catalog’s royalties. Earnings are softening about 24% from the twelve months before and have eased each year since 2022 as “Nuketown” settles into a steady listening base after its early peak years. Part of the lower 2025 total comes from the move from UMG Recordings to Victor Victor Worldwide. Because of that switch, the first half of 2025 covered five months of sales instead of six.

“Nuketown” captures a moment in rap that fans keep going back to: two artists from the SoundCloud generation together on a major-label debut. Together with “Save Me Pt 2” from the same album, this listing offers a share of the master recording royalties on both songs for the life of the rights.

Ski Mask The Slump God rose through Fort Lauderdale’s SoundCloud rap scene, co-founding the Members Only collective with XXXTentacion and joining XXL’s 2018 Freshman Class. His debut album, Stokeley (Victor Victor Worldwide/Republic, 2018), debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 and is certified Platinum in the US.

“Nuketown,” the album’s second track, features Chicago rapper Juice WRLD, who died in December 2019. Beyond its Hot 100 run, it reached No. 32 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and is certified Platinum in New Zealand and Silver in the UK. Earnings from its official music video are part of this catalog. “Save Me Pt 2,” the album’s sixth track, features Austin Lam, with additional vocals from Samaria.

Earnings Note. The 1H-2025 period contains five months of sales (January through May 2025) rather than six, as statements moved from UMG Recordings to Victor Victor Worldwide, now administered by Concord. All royalties going forward will continue to flow through Concord to the buyer.
