January 2018, he released the track “Outside Today,” which did well for a debut for the label as it peaked at No. His phenomenal lyrical skill and youthful appeal would eventually attract Atlantic Records in late 2017. Those releases raised many eyebrows, and he soon developed a loyal fan base. He announced his arrival in hip-hop in grand style, releasing six independent mixtapes. He emerged on the scene somewhere between 20. What’s even more amazing is that he’s been in the game for about seven years now, meaning he started when he was still a 15-year-old teen.

That’s right he has 99 RIAA certifications at just 22-years-old. It’s a big accomplishment when you tally all of his RIAA certifications because he’s just one away from 100.

The incredible feat came as fans vibe to his new mixtape, Colors. He was able to surpass them at such a young age by earning thirteen new platinum and gold certifications this week from the RIAA. If he continues on this trajectory, he definitely will achieve G.O.A.T status in the future.Īt just 22-years-old, he now has more certifications than two rappers in the game who many already consider to be greats, and that’s J. His career has exploded over the short time that he’s been rapping, and that’s only been enhanced by his accolades. NBA Youngboy keeps proving time and again that he is the one to watch when it comes to the younger generation of hip-hop artists. NBA Youngboy is back on Instagram with a message for his label and is celebrating having a record number of platinum records.
