Teyana Taylor’s The Album has produced its third gold-certified award from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
“Bare With Me,” which was co-produced by Bizness Boi, Cardiak, and NinetyFour, has pushed more than 500,000 equivalent units since its release. It amassed over 25 million streams on Spotify at the time of publication.
