His next two releases, 2013's Born Sinner and 2014's 2014 Forest Hills Drive, received mostly positive reviews from critics, and both were certified platinum in the United States. The latter earned him his first Grammy Award nomination for Best Rap Album.

His fifth album, KOD, was released in 2018, and also debuted atop the Billboard 200; marking his fifth number one album.
