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.

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.shahidah, Boos and Ordinary Joel like this. -

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.shahidah, Nav Bhatia and Xmipod like this.
