‘Discover the Artist’ is our new blog series where we introduce you to artists you might not have heard of yet… but need to listen to.


Genre: Rap and Hip-Hop

From: Washington, United States

Latest Release: ‘Diaspora’ – June 2019.

GoldLink - U Say (Audio) ft. Tyler, The Creator, Jay Prince

Style: GoldLink aims to synthesize his environment’s litany of influences and inspirations into something unique, singular, and altogether his own.

With his debut studio album At What Cost (Squaaash Club/RCA)–helmed by the monstrous single “Crew”–released in March 2017, he’s done just that. By merging the sensibilities of go-go with the African diaspora, he’s done what hip-hop has done from its inception: repurpose what’s available into something magical.

Upcoming Show: 13 November 2019 at The Academy, Dublin. Tickets on sale here.

If you like: Smino, Jay Prince, EarthGang, Isaiah Rashad, Nxworries.
