Future’s self-titled album receives platinum plaque.

Not only has Future become a distinct voice in the hip-hop game, the rapper has proven that he is a hit maker. With the release of ‘Future’ earlier this year, the RIAA has just certified the album with platinum status, having sold over one million copies.

This marks Future’s third platinum plaque that he has achieved, with his previous efforts Dirty Sprite 2, and the Drake collaborative mixtape, What A Time To Be Alive, having previously racked in the million album sales feat.

According to RIAA, Future is also in a select 2017 class with this album. The Future album is added to the short list of albums that have been certified platinum, so far in 2017. The LP joins the ranks with Jay Z’s 4:44, Migo’s Culture, Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN, and Ed Sheeran’s third studio album.
