Goldlink & The New Myth of the Organic Artist - DJBooth Article
GoldLink used the word “organic” during his interview with Rosenberg to describe his early success through Soundcloud. His first song, “Electric Relaxation,” achieved 30,000 plays within a month. An unknown artist with no buzz or co-signs able to do astounding numbers without lifting a finger. He didn’t have an answer for how, no organized plans, and no marketing strategies. He then continued with his story, how the next few releases did even bigger numbers, 60K, 100K, numbers that Troy Ave has wet dreams about. It’s not possible I thought, it’s not that easy I thought. I know he named his album
God Complex but the feat he’s describing is almost more astounding than walking on water. In the age of honesty, we are truth seekers. It’s a natural nosiness that was developed when the walls of separation were wrecked by social media. Artists, especially in hip-hop, are expected to be real and authentic. The infatuation with authenticity comes from believing that the music artists make in hip-hop is sacred. Lyrics are believed, images are taken seriously, in life or in the music industry, all stories are true. If there were laws attached to the culture, one would state that all frauds be beheaded. Off with his head I thought.
About Logic:
Bruh...His label, before it was revealed he was signed to Def Jam, turned the stats off on the youtube videos. Then a person I will not name, who was being flown out to "work with" breh...told me to stop talking about it on facebook because I was fukking up paper. "You should really chill on trying to expose people you never know who's watching your social media, that's how you miss opportunities. Just be diplomatic" ON MY LIFE...if it wasn't those exact words, it was something similar.
