Scott previously recalled how the collaboration came together during an interview with Billboard at the time. “I met him at the MTV Video Music Awards one year and he came up to me and was just like, ‘Yo, man, I f*ck with your music. It’s super dope and inspirational.’ I was like, whoa, this is the best rapper in the globe – he f*cks with my music!” he said in 2016. “That’s one of the things that made me want to keep working on my music and try to keep it going ’cause I’m not the most rappity rap ass n***a. That’s not me but I really love Kendrick’s music.”

Post Malone Breaks Insane Diamond Singles Record

by

Post Malone is one of the biggest hit-makers in the entire world. Overall, he burst onto the scene with the hit song “White Iverson.” However, his foray into hip-hop certainly came with some skepticism. Eventually, he just went the full-on pop route, as that is where his talents really shined. Regardless, Posty still remains hip-hop adjacent as he can be found collaborating with some of the biggest rap artists. Recently, Malone dropped his new song “Chemical,” and there is no doubt that this has smash-hit potential.

Although, Malone probably won’t have to worry too much about “Chemical” doing big numbers. That is because the vast majority of his other songs are going diamond at an impressive rate. According to the RIAA, Malone just had three songs go Diamond. Overall, these tracks include “Circles,” “Better Now,” and “I Fall Apart.” Consequently, Post Malone now has eight diamond songs. In fact, this is a record. Previously, the record was six Diamond tracks, and it was held by none other than Bruno Mars.

Post Malone Hits New Ground

It was also revealed that “Sunflower” with Swae Lee is now 17x platinum which is tied for the record. Soon, it could very well become the first double Diamond song in the history of music. That said, Post Malone subsequently has plans to drop the Diamond Collection which features nine tracks. Eight of which are actually diamond, while the ninth is his new song “Chemical.” Needless to say, a new way to pump up the streaming numbers has been revealed to the world. The track listing for this project will include “White Iverson,” “Congratulations,” “I Fall Apart,” “Rockstar,” “Psycho,” “Better Now,” “Sunflower,” and “Circles.”

If you are a huge fan of Post Malone, then relistening to these tracks all on one project sounds like a worthwhile endeavor. Either way, you can’t help but be impressed by this new record. Only time will tell whether or not he can increase his record even more. Let us know your favorite Diamond Post Malone track, in the comments down below.
