The first time 21-year-old GoldLink picked up a mic was only three years ago in his hometown and he has no intentions of putting it down. GoldLink’s sound is densely weighted with shimmering polyrhythmic sounds, constructed with formidable producers like Kaytranada, Lakim and Louie Lastic. His sound milks nostalgic cuts of 90s hip-hop and R&B and the area’s natural go-go heritage with transcending circadian drops of EDM and Afro-Caribbean drum patterns.
This is his latest offering from his recently released album “At What Cost”. His collaboration with Jazmine Sullivan and Kaytranada is a groovy-electronic-hip-hop tune with some afro beats all over it! This is the new sound that comes straight out of US and it’s pretty cool that artists are experimenting with new sounds combining different genres in music. This is the future!
Enjoy the tune of the week really loud and enjoy Spring!
