Tech N9ne Earns First Platinum Record With ‘Caribou Lou’!

In 2012 Tech N9ne earned his first gold record with “Caribou Lou.” A remarkable achievement for the independent pioneer.

Now, the legend of “Caribou Lou” continues.

According to the RIAA, as of June 20, the song that has launched a million hangovers has gone platinum!

Going platinum is one of the highest achievements for a recording artist. Every single person who steps into a studio dreams of selling over a million units, and for Tech to do it all independently is a remarkable achievement; one that was not lost on him and, the songs co-creator, Krizz Kaliko.

The pair took to Instagram to reflect on the monumental achievement.

So thankful for this job I have that’s powered by the fans! Thanx so much for the platinum record! You all have made me immortal! Because of you, I, will forever BE! I won’t die before the world outside of Strangeland find their reasons to honor our hard work and Beautiful Music! I will live to see MORE of the fruits of my, OUR, labor! Strange Music, where bullshit ain’t nothin but a chicken Wang on a strang! Photo captured by @dawn_oguin
