21 Savage receives another plaque.

Atlanta's rising star, 21 Savage, has been reaching new heights with every move he makes. His Metro Boomin' collaboration project Savage Mode played a pivotal role in his current success and helped him maneuver his way from a buzzing rapper from Atlanta to working with some very big names and releasing his debut album. While catching that momentum off the project, he landed himself two platinum records. One for "No Heart" and another one for the Future-assisted "X" that has actually gone two times platinum. Today, 21 Savage's manager has revealed that 21 has received another plaque to add to his collection.

Off the strength of his debut album Issa Album, 21 Savage's stand-out track "Bank Account" has now gone gold. 21 Savage's manager Kei, took to Instagram to post a picture revealing the RIAA certification and captioning it "Another One #BankAccount." It's another accomplishment for the rapper who takes pride on his independence as an artist. This comes along the side that his album actually debuted at number two on the Billboard 200.

Coming from making mixtapes in Atlanta to his uprising in the mainstream world and the release of his debut album, it's another certification that solidifies 21 Savage's place in the game. The most impressive part of "Bank Account" gold certification is that it's actually the second track that 21 Savage has production credits on to receive an RIAA certification, the first being "X" which he co-produced alongside Metro Boomin.

With the release of Issa Album, 21 Savage has been allowing the album to settle in with his audience. "Bank Account" serves as the first official single off of the record although there has yet to be any visual treatment for that song or any off of the album thus far. Hopefully it gets a music video to accompany it sometime soon.

21 has been staying busy since his album has released. Last week, he joined the likes of Playboi Carti and Young Thug for a brief cameo in Adidas new campaign commercial for "ORIGINAL Is Never Finished."
