Boise, ID — Independent singer-songwriter and hyphy-influenced artist Hakeem Prime is reportedly in discussions regarding a potential catalog acquisition deal valued at approximately $55,000 with music-finance platform Duetti.

While no agreement has been finalized, sources familiar with the discussions indicate that Duetti has expressed interest in acquiring rights to a select portion of Hakeem Prime’s catalog.

The potential acquisition reflects growing recognition of Hakeem Prime’s independent success and consistent streaming performance. “Imma Let You Go” has accumulated millions of streams across platforms, including more than 4.9 million streams on Spotify, helping establish Hakeem as one of the more notable independent R&B and rap artists emerging from the Boise market while maintaining strong Bay Area roots. Sources say they add 15K$ just to add his Kendrick Lamar Diss track series in the mix. 

Duetti has become one of the most active companies in the music catalog acquisition space, working with independent artists to provide upfront capital in exchange for ownership or participation in select music assets. The company has completed thousands of catalog transactions and continues to expand its footprint among independent creators seeking alternative financing opportunities.

Should the deal move forward, it could represent a significant milestone in Hakeem Prime’s career. The artist, originally from Oakland, California, has spent years building his catalog independently through a combination of songwriting, production, and grassroots promotion. His catalog includes multiple releases that have generated millions of streams and cultivated a dedicated fan base across streaming platforms.

Industry observers note that interest from catalog acquisition firms has increasingly shifted toward independent artists with proven streaming histories and long-term growth potential. Hakeem Prime’s catalog appears to fit that profile, with several records continuing to generate consistent engagement years after release.

Although negotiations remain ongoing, a successful agreement could provide additional resources to support future releases, marketing campaigns, and catalog development while further validating the commercial value of independently owned music assets.

Neither Hakeem Prime nor Duetti has publicly announced a finalized agreement at this time. However, the reported discussions underscore the growing opportunities available to independent artists in today’s evolving music business landscape.

Fans can expect Hakeem Prime to continue releasing new music and expanding his catalog as conversations surrounding the potential acquisition continue to develop. Over the past week he has released His song Need it & Fah! Fah! From his Boise Mutation Project from earlier 2025
