Over 18 years after its release, Jay-Z`s Dirt Off Your Shoulder is officially certified two-times platinum.
Oftentimes, Jay-Z is considered one of the greatest rappers of all time, so it only makes sense that the music mogul, businessman, and overall Hip-Hop enthusiast has several accolades under his belt.
His last released project came in 2018 in the form of a couple team-up with his wife, Beyoncé on The Carters, but that hasn`t stopped an onslaught of RIAA certifications from rolling in.
Earlier this year, his and Kanye`s classic Watch The Throne album cut, ‘Niggas In Paris‘ was certified eight-times platinum, and only a couple of months later, Jay-Z`s Dirt Off Your Shoulder officially reached double-platinum status, more than 18 full years after it was released on March 2, 2003.
“Dirt Off Your Shoulder” served as the second official single from Hov`s 2003 “farewell” project The Black Album, and the Timbaland-produced song went on to peak at the #5 position on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 2004.
The single`s gold certification came in October 2004, and oddly enough, it wasn`t certified platinum until 2013. Nearly eight full years later, Jay`s classic track has proven once again that it still has legs.
We congratulate him on his latest accomplishment!
