The Source caught up with DMV artist Goldlink to talk about everything from his new project to the DMV hip hop scene

With the over saturated sound of trap music invading every block in the capitol, there are very few artists (like I can count on one hand) that actually breathe new life into the district.

Crafting his lane and flourishing in it, Goldlink has been able to introduce his “future bounce” sound and it’s safe to say the ‘Chocolate City‘ hasn’t felt this in awhile.

Now don’t get me wrong, foreseeing the future for artists these days can be tricky especially considering the one hit-wonders we had in recent years. But, despite all the hits and misses in the game there is still a reason to look forward and Goldlink is a sheer example of why.

Melodically, Goldlink has managed to be refreshingly original incorporating his bouncy and one of a kind elusive sound while at the same time being aggressively straight-forward. The complexity of his flow and cadences are distinct but reveal his creative sensibilities. Time will only tell how great he can be but one thing is for sure, the kid has the “it” factor.

The Source caught up with the rising DMV emcee and talked about everything The God Complex to what drives him to step out the box musically.
