G Herbo's 2026 is off to an incredible start and its thanks in part to one of his newest hits. "Went Legit," which is produced in part by Southside and also samples Kanye West's "Drive Slow," has just went platinum. The track appears on his 2024 mixtape, Greatest Rapper Alive.
If you remember, the project initially released on an app that gave his fans access to exclusive content. Eventually, though, in April 2025 the Chicago native put GRA on all streaming platforms.
G Herbo isn't a complete stranger to RIAA certifications, though. He's got five in his name thanks to contributions on Nardo Wick's "Who Want Smoke??" Pooh Shiesty's "Switch It Up," and Young Dolph's "1 Scale."
He's also got two directly tied to his name. Herbo has a gold plaque for his PTSD album and a platinum one for its namesake song featuring Juice WRLD, Chance the Rapper, and Lil Uzi Vert.
So why is this accolade for "Went Legit" noteworthy?
Well, as you can see above thanks to a post from XXL, it's G Herbo's first solo platinum plaque ever. He's officially gone platinum with no features.
