Russ’s self-produced single Yung God achieves Gold certification with over 500,000 units sold, cementing his independent legacy and DIY approach in the music industry.

Russ’s single Yung God, first released on March 24, 2016, officially went Gold on September 9, 2024. This marks a big milestone for the independent artist, as the track has now sold over 500,000 units.
The song’s lyrics focus on self-confidence and personal growth, with Russ reflecting on his rise to success while keeping distractions and negativity at bay. True to his style, Yung God was entirely produced, written, mixed, and mastered by Russ himself.
Russ has always been about more than just the music—he’s an advocate for artists taking control of their own careers. His label, DIEMON (Do It Everyday Music Or Nothing), promotes this very ethos, supporting other artists who, like him, want to make it on their own.
