Travis Scott Earns RIAA Gold for "4X4"

Houston rapper and producer Travis Scott has added another certification to his extensive catalog, with his 2025 single "4X4" officially earning Gold status from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The certification, dated October 3, 2025, recognizes 500,000 certified units in the United States. The track was released on January 24, 2025, via Cactus Jack and Epic Records.

"4X4" marked Scott's first solo release following his Grammy-nominated 2023 album, UTOPIA. The song's title is a reference to his four-wheel drive Lamborghini Urus. Musically, it fuses trap production with a distinctive horn line provided by Tennessee State University's marching band. Lyrically, the track continues themes present in some of Scott's most notable work, including references to his wardrobe and drug habits. The song was first previewed to fans at a club in Mexico City before its official release.

His stage name is a tribute to an uncle and Kid Cudi's real name, Scott Mescudi. Throughout his career, Scott has achieved significant commercial success, landing five number-one hits on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and charting over one hundred songs.
