“Artist just went platinum,” he wrote with a piano emoji. “Thanks to all my Day 1 fans for helping me get where I am today it’s been a real crazy run for me especially knowing the fact that I used to be a nobody just a kid from the Bronx. I learned a lot on this Journey and I can’t wait to show you all what I’m making out of it. Nothing but Love and blessings I hope everyone is staying safe. keep on being great.”
Released on SoundCloud at the time, the 13-track tape didn’t boast any of the A-list features the Bronx native has been able to get since his fame skyrocketed shortly after, but it did include his breakout single, “My Shit.”
