GoldLink, the DMV, and a Fight at the Club
On the night "Meditation" dropped, GoldLink ran into some hometown trouble.
When it comes to hometown loyalty, there are few DMV locals as fierce as GoldLink. He was born in D.C., raised in Maryland, and later moved to Virginia. He's one of the area's favorite sons, keeping the go-go tradition alive with a unique brand of "future bounce," from The God Complex in 2014 until 2017's excellent At What Cost.
But even a city's dearly beloved faces down jealousy, bitterness, and most importantly, a lifetime of shared history. So even though the night GoldLink's "Meditation" dropped was a celebration, not everyone at D.C.'s Rosebar that night was a friend.
