Career

[14] It also went platinum in Canada [15] and Gold on United Kingdom. [16]

Later that year, Aasis began working with the American hip-hop duo Suicideboys on their album New World Depression , which charted at number one on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. [17] The album also reached number one on the Billboard US Independent Albums chart and number 5 on the US Billboard 200.
