Alicia Keys Earns New RIAA Certification For “City Of Gods”
Earlier this year, piano slayer and singer Alicia Keys joined Kanye West and Fivio Foriegn for the latest New York anthem “City of Gods.” Now the singer-songwriter-producer has earned an RIAA Gold certification for their single. This is the latest certification for Keys after she collected over a dozen RIAA awards (platinum and gold) in 2020 for her ensemble of exceptional albums and songs.
The single entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart at No. 46, making appearances on both Foreign’s debut album, B.I.B.L.E., and West’s Donda 2. Keys even made the smash her very own when she performed a softer piano rendition titled, “City of Gods (Part II).” She complimented her raw talent with a video directed by Sylvia Zachary and Sing Lee. Part II serves as her first release under AK Worldwide, her umbrella company that focuses on her non-musical and philanthropic projects.
