Already Platinum

Already Platinum is the debut studio album by American rapper Slim Thug. It was released through his label Boss Hogg Outlawz and the Neptunes's Star Trak Entertainment, an imprint of Geffen Records on July 12, 2005. Its original release date was scheduled for February 2005, but heavy bootlegging and numerous delays held the album back, forcing a vast majority of its original track listing to be replaced. The original track listing included a version of the track "I Ain't Heard of That" which featured Jay-Z. In an interview with XXL, the rapper explained the album title does not suggest he will go platinum, but that his lifestyle was already similar to that of rappers who had reached the platinum status. In an interview on The Tyra Banks Show, mentor Pharrell revealed that he was a millionaire before the two met, and he especially liked that about him. He continued to say that he was "already platinum," the album name was just in confirmation of this. The album debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200, with 130,000 copies sold in the first week.
