Depending on how much money is raised, Royalty Flow will buy either 15 percent or 25 percent of an Eminem income stream based on royalties paid to FBT Productions, the Bass Brothers company that often works with and produces Eminem’s music, from the artist’s studio albums released between 1999 and 2013 via Aftermath Entertainment/Interscope Records.

Royalty Flow will file for its initial public offering on Monday; after three weeks, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission will decide whether to approve the filing, and if it does, investors can buy in for 150 shares or more at the minimum $2,250 price. Intercope, Emimem’s label, issued a statement on the deal, saying, “Eminem is not involved in any deals for the sale of recording royalties and has no connection to this company. The decision to offer the royalty stream for sale or otherwise was made independently by a third party who retains royalties for an early portion of his catalog and Eminem was not consulted.”

 That being said, the company will allow fans and smaller investors the opportunity to invest directly in Eminem’s business, and could set a model for future endeavors. “Royalty Flow gives investors the opportunity to participate in assets that are uncorrelated with public markets, and directly benefit in the music industry’s growth,” Royalty Exchange CEO and Royalty Flow’s chairman Matt Smith said in a statement.
– Between 1999 and 2013, Eminem released some of his most famous work, including 1999's The Slim Shady LP, 2000's The Marshall Mathers LP, and 2002's The Eminem Show. Now a new company has formed to nab the royalties income stream from his songs from that period, and fans may eventually be able to fatten their wallets by investing via a rather unusual opportunity. Per Billboard, Royalty Exchange has created a new business called Royalty Flow and inked a letter of intent to buy either a 15% or 25% portion of the performer's income stream (depending on how much money it raises via crowdfunding efforts) and then allow fans and investors to share in income from those royalties via dividends if and when the company becomes listed on NASDAQ—a template that Billboard says may prove to be "new business model for other superstar artists." Variety notes the deal comes via brothers Jeff and Mark Bass of FBT Productions, who invested in Eminem's catalog early and are now said to be estranged from him. Although Royalty Exchange's CEO says in a statement the plan offers "a powerful new financing option with a level of transparency seldom found in the music industry," one industry expert tells Rolling Stone that selling an artist's catalog piece by piece "starts to look like human slavery." Meanwhile, Eminem's statement, via a rep: "Eminem is not involved in any deals for the sale of recording royalties and has no connection to this company. The decision to offer the royalty stream for sale or otherwise was made independently by a third party who retains royalties for an early portion of his catalog and Eminem was not consulted." Billboard dives deeper into the financial and legal complexities of this setup.
