Gucci Mane and Rae Sremmurd are creeping up on their first respective diamond plaques for their 2016 smash hit, \u201cBlack Beatles.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Chart Data<\/a><\/em>, the song was just certified 9x platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), making it just one million sales away from diamond status.<\/p>\n

The Mike WiLL Made-It-produced song became both Rae Sremmurd and Gucci\u2019s first No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100, due in large part to the virality of its accompanying \u2018Mannequin Challenge.\u2019<\/p>\n

While this will be the first certification of its caliber for the Sremmurd duo as a collective, Swae Lee has previously achieved the feat with his 2018 Post Malone collaboration, \u201cSunflower.\u201d It currently sits at 2x diamond status.<\/p>\n

Last year, Rae Sremmurd explained all the ways they believe they\u2019ve changed the face of what Hip Hop looks and sounds like in a conversation with Complex<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the biggest influences we had, this haircut first of all. When we came in the game<\/a> with the shaved sides and the dreads on the top, that just changed the game,\u201d Swae Lee said.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cWe came with the AutoTune and the heavy reverb. You know, the melodies and the high-pitched singing tones and all that stuff. It definitely trickled down to a lot of people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Slim Jxmmi brought up their eccentric fashion sense and added: \u201cI feel like we made it cool to be yourself. A lot of people do the same things, make the same type of vibes. We make different type of music, it\u2019s fun.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnybody could listen to it. My brother, he say this all the time: it doesn\u2019t matter what type of life you\u2019re living, we got music anybody could [listen to]. \u2018I ain\u2019t got no type.\u2019 I don\u2019t care what you do, everybody could vibe with that. Male, female, it doesn\u2019t even matter. We make international music that way.\u201d<\/p>\n

The fervid brothers hailing from Mississippi came storming out of the gate while putting the Hip Hop world on notice with a string of anthems in the mid-2010s such as \u201cNo Type,\u201d \u201cCome Get Her,\u201d \u201cSwang,\u201d \u201cBlack Beatles,\u201d \u201cNo Flex Zone,\u201d \u201cThrow Sum Mo\u201d and more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
