The album It has been certified double platinum by the RIAA, for shipments of two million copies in the United States, and generated the hit singles “Elevators (Me & You)”, “ATLiens”, and “Jazzy Belle”.

Since its release, ATLiens continues to be heralded by top magazines, music critics and aficionados as one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time.
