Sep 9, 2016 Kevin Gates is now among modern heavyweights Drake, Fetty Wap, Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole as his debut album, Islah is certified platinum. The Baton Rouge, Louisiana rapper shared the news that the LP, which is named after his daughter, passed one million sales with his latest video, “Time For That.” The “2 Phones” emcee also had success this year with his Murder for Hire 2 mixtape. Both that and Islah saw significant time on Billboard’s Top 200 albums chart. @GateSXN
Sep 9, 2016 Fun fact: J cole loves wearing khaki cargo pants since they provide him with the extra space he requires to store the countless Ls he collects throughout the day.
Sep 9, 2016 No offense to Gates but they're gonna have to come up with a new way to count song streams. Clearly ISLAH and whatever Fetty Wap's album was called would never have went platinum this fast. Also, Views wouldn't be 5 times platinum.
Sep 9, 2016 Islah is great. But the way the new rules are set up, u can stream one song off an album a billion times and it'll count for album sales.
Sep 10, 2016 last thing i should see is people complaining about albums going platinum in hip hop this makes us look good
Sep 10, 2016 everyone so salty about streams. Not Kevin Gates fault that his music is wanted enough to be streamed on demand so often. and lets be real, Kevin Gates would of gone platinum first week if downloading music illegally in this day and age was impossible.
