His 2014 single, "Save Dat Money" (featuring Fetty Wap and Rich Homie Quan), marked his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100, received double platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and preceded his platinum-certified debut studio album, Professional Rapper (2015).
