GoldLink
Rejjie Snow

Not many artists over thirty have already more than 10 years of career. GoldLink have experienced all the stages of fame, critical success and respect since his beginnings in 2013, with his collaboration with the great producer Rick Rubin two years later, before he got his international reputation in 2018 and his current expert status with a great future ahead of him. His instrumentals are clearly inspired by different sources: echoes of house music, afrobeat, soul, jazz and bossa nova. However, GoldLink also got known by extending a certain tradition of vocal virtuosity in rap music, reciting texts filled with humour, discoveries and cultural references in an extremely precise and fast manner. Exploring a wide range of beats, his music has acquired an inimitable style, enhanced by many prestigious collaborations. Claiming his passion for dancing rhythms, this impressive showman promises to give this one-of-a-kind evening an even more festive and distinguished dimension.

If this young rapper seems to come from elsewhere, it is not only an impression. In 2017, his first EP set the tone of a discography which is now composed of four flamboyant records: his approach is similar to the rather unusual personality of this Stevie Wonder fan, passionate about graphic design. He masters all hip-hop codes, but he also draws his inspiration in the poets of his native Ireland and in his American fellows’ music. Since then, his experimental and homemade work has included avant-garde miniatures, retro-style R’n’B catchy pieces and a voice and piano jazz ballad. With the most personal lyrics, a complete insouciance and a passion for perfect rhymes, he composes, among other things, some hits, like the major “Egyptian Luvr” with the American rapper Aminé. His fourth album entitled Peace 2 Da World presents new beats from Brazilian music and definitively demonstrates that Reijie Snow is among the artists that we can only put in their own category, going beyond expectations and labels.
