D’Anthony Carlos , better known by his stage name GoldLink, is an American rapper. His single "Dance on Me" peaked at number 4 on the Billboard Twitter Real-Time chart and he was named to the XXL Freshman Class in 2015.
Early life
GoldLink's father was a parks and recreation worker and his mother a secretary at a law firm.[2] After his father left the family, GoldLink moved to Bowie, Maryland with his mother and eventually settled in Virginia.[2]
Career
GoldLink began his career performing under his birth name D'Anthony Carlos. He began making music as a hobby after graduating high school, eventually recording tracks in a local studio in Washington D.C. named Indie Media Lab.[2] He released his first tracks on Bandcamp under the name Gold Link James. It was in 2013 that he began performing as GoldLink, releasing several free tracks on SoundCloud.[2]
GoldLink released his first mixtape The God Complex in July 2014. Complex[3] named it one of the best projects released during the first half of 2014, Spin[4] placed it at number 19 on its The 40 Best Hip-Hop Albums of 2014, Clash[5] ranked it at number 7 on their Top 10 Mixtapes of 2014 and Pitchfork Media gave the mixtape a 7.9 rating.[2]
GoldLink began collaborating with producer Rick Rubin in 2015.[6] Goldlink also collaborated with producer Louie Lastic in 2015 from songs such as Spectrum and Bedtime Stories. In November 2015 he released the album After That, We Didn't Talk, much of which was considered a follow-up to questions left unanswered from The God Complex.[7] Pigeons & Planes placed it at number 19 on its Best Albums of 2015 list.[8] GoldLink was also named a member of the XXL Freshman Class in 2015.[6] In 2016, Carlos signed a major deal with RCA Records and revealed he is working on his sophomore album. He released the single "Fall In Love" featuring rapper Cisero and produced by Canadian band BADBADNOTGOOD and Canadian producer and DJ, Kaytranada[9]. He released another single, "Rough Soul" featuring singer April George, produced by The Internet member Kintaro. He later released an untitled single with TDE rapper Isaiah Rashad and produced by The Antydote. The song is a joint track that was intended to be on Rashad's debut album The Sun's Tirade, however it did not make the cut. He later released the single "See I Miss Pt. 2" featuring Marsha Ambrosius on November 8th to celebrate the one year anniversary of And After That, We Didn't Talk. On December 16th, he released his new single "Crew" featuring singer Brent Faiyaz and fellow DC rapper Shy Glizzy.
