J. Cole’s 2015 single “No Role Modelz” has been certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The diamond certification is the highest honor that the RIAA awards, denoting sales of over 10 million copies in the United States.
“No Role Modelz” was a standout track from Cole’s fourth studio album, 2014 Forest Hills Drive. The song features a laid-back beat and introspective lyrics that explore themes of identity, society, and the state of hip-hop.
