Royce da 5’9 returned to Detroit on Thursday for a “Success is Certain” listening party, but was treated to a surprise while there. Onstage at the Majestic Theatre, Eminem’s manager Paul Rosenberg presented Royce with a gold plaque for sales of 500,000 or more of “Hell: The Sequel.” For Royce, it’s his first certification from the Recording Industry Association of America.

After they topped the Top 200 sales chart last June, Royce gave his reaction to standing atop his competition.

“You know I ain’t never sold no records,” Royce said to MTV News, laughing. “I knew it had the potential. I just really was more focused on the whole ‘critically acclaimed’ thing, and I think we achieved that. I’m only hearing good things about how people feel about the album.” (MTV)

The project features collaborations from Slaughterhouse and pop star Bruno Mars.

1. “Welcome 2 Hell” (Havoc) 2. “Fastlane” (Supa Dups) 3. “The Reunion” (Sid Roams) 4. “Above the Law” (Mr. Porter) 5. “I’m on Everything” feat. Mike Epps (Mr. Porter) 6. “A Kiss” (Bangladesh) 7. “Lighters” feat. Bruno Mars (Eminem, The Smeezingtons, and Battle Roy) 8. “Take from Me” (Mr. Porter) 9. “Loud Noises” feat.
