ScHoolboy Q has started the year off right, with a handful of new gold and platinum certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
On Wednesday (January 3), eight singles and one album from the Los Angeles native were awarded new certifications by the RIAA. Going gold for the first time were his 2016 E-40 assisted song “Dope Dealer,” his 2019 Travis Scott-assisted single “CHopstix,” his 2014 2 Chainz-assisted song, “What They Want” and his 2019 album, CrasH Talk.
Q’s 21 Savage-assisted song “Floating” and “Numb Numb Juice” — both released in 2019 — both went platinum for the first time, while 2014’s “Studio” and “Man of the Year” both made it to 3x platinum and 2015’s “Collard Greens” with Kendrick Lamar is now 4x platinum.
The new musical milestones arrive at the top of what ScHoolboy Q has promised will be a major comeback – which hopefully will include his first album in nearly five years.
While attending Top Dawg Entertainment’s 10th annual Christmas toy drive last month, Q told TMZ that he’s got “something special [for 2024]. I’ma be back. I will be back!”
