It’s a good week for the folks over there at Roc Nation….and their seeds. J. Cole announced his good news earlier today, tweeting that the lead single “Work Out” from his debut album has been officially certified platinum. And that’s not all. Proud papa Jay-Z’s ode to his baby girl that featured lil’ Blue herself has already charted on Billboard‘s R&B/Hip-Hop chart at number 74, making her the youngest person ever to make the charts. How cool! Marisa Mendez
