1015 FOLSOM PRESENTS
A SPECIAL 30TH ANNIVERSARY EVENT
GOLDLINK
PRESENTS IFFY FM
WITH SEAN G - MUSUBI
"To call GoldLink an aspiring rapper would not do him justice. The DMV-bred emcee accrued over one million plays on his Soundcloud and captured the attention of an entire industry with the first six songs he ever released.
Tyler The Creator made history with his fifth studio album IGOR, becoming the first solo rapper to land a #1 album without any co-production or outside producer credits. Now, on the heels of a headlining set at this year's Governor's Ball, Tyler is taking his universally-acclaimed album across the country, continuing a prolific career that the New York Times describes as "one of the decade's most vivid transformations."
Two-time Grammy-nominated artist GoldLink first broke into the mainstream behind his now triple-platinum single "Crew," and his critically-acclaimed album At What Cost. His new album Diaspora shifts its focus far beyond his home of the DMV area, creating a convergence of global sounds that celebrate the musical legacy of Africa in what Pitchfork calls "the best music of his career."
GoldLink's sound doesn't throw it all the way back to the boom-bap, New York style, nor is it entirely a product of digital production. Instead, the music mixes the buttery grooves of 90's R&B with classic hip-hop breaks to give it an essence of nostalgia, and then turns on its head with bouncy, forward-thinking production style led by the likes of Ta-Ku and Kaytranda. Add that to GoldLink's ability to fill every pocket of the dynamic instrumentals he tackles with a roller-coaster delivery, and suddenly your head is bobbing to the self-proclaimed "future-bounce" genre.
