Less than three months after his debut Cole World: The Sideline Story hit stores, J. Cole has received gold certification for sales of more than 500,000 units of the LP.

Revealing the news via Twitter, the Roc Nation rapper broke the news, writing, “Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. I come from Fayetteville, NC. Shit is unreal. Thank you for the love. See you at the Grammy’s. 9 weeks later. Thank you is an understatement. GOLD World.”

Cole was recently honored with a nod for Best New Artist at the 2012 Grammy Awards, where he’s up against The Band Perry, Nicki Minaj, Skrillex and Bon Iver.
