Twista has celebrated yet another milestone, as his classic “Slow Jamz” track has finally achieved the platinum certification it has long deserved.
Coming just a few days after celebrating its 20th anniversary, “Slow Jamz” was officially certified platinum by the RIAA on Thursday (January 25). On the same day, both the “Overnight Celebrity” single and the Kamikaze album were also certified double platinum. The album previously earned a platinum certification all the way back in 2004.
Originally released on November 10, 2003, “Slow Jamz” featured Kanye West and Jamie Foxx and eventually climbed to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, making it the first No. 1 track for Twista, Foxx, and West. It also received a Grammy nomination in 2005 for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration, but it lost to “Numb/Encore” by Linkin Park feat. JAY-Z.
