Kendrick Lamar’s ‘DAMN.’ album has already been proclaimed by many as the best hip-hop album of the year. Dot’s case got stronger today with his third studio album earning double platinum certification by the RIAA.
In an Instagram post Kendrick showed the fans his appreciation writing, “These murals forever belong to my fans,” he wrote. “You’ve always taken my words above and beyond. Around the world and back again. With trust. I am forever grateful. 2x.”
Having been released about 14-weeks ago, K. Dot continues to do damage on the Billboard 200, sitting strongly at no. 2 behind Jay-Z’s ‘4:44’ album. Last week it sold an additional 56,000 equivalent units, which propelled it to double platinum certification.
Dot has been collecting the plaques this year having already received platinum certification for “Alright” off ‘To Pimp A Butterfly’ and gold certification for his freshman album ‘Section.80’ and “A.D.H.D.” off the album.
Kung-Fu Kenny will continue on the first leg of his “The DAMN. Tour” with Travis Scott and D.R.A.M. through August 9th in LA. Starting August 11th he’ll begin the second leg in Anaheim along with YG.
CONGRATS, DOT!
