And all that ever took was patience.

Joey Bada$$ has accomplished a lot over the course of the past five years, from releasing critically acclaimed material to touring the globe, to venturing into acting on the USA drama Mr. Robot, but up until today, the Pro Era leader could never claim to be a Platinum-selling artist.

According to the RIAA, as of January 12, Joey's hit single "Devastated," released in May 2016 and certified Gold last January, has officially been certified Platinum.

Joey hasn't announced any plans to release a new album in 2018, but late last month, the Brooklyn native liberated "Gazzliona," an unreleased 2013 collaboration with crew member Kirk Knight, and revealed his intention to make his debut mixtape, 1999, available for stream on all major platforms.
