The album includes previous releases "Joke Ting" featuring Ari PenSmith, "U Say" featuring Tyler, The Creator and Jay Prince, and "Zulu Screams" featuring Maleek Berry and Bibi Bourelly, which came with a Meji Alabi directed video. Diaspora is the DMV artist's follow up to his 2017 critically-acclaimed album At What Cost. The album was first announced last month via Hailey Beiber's socials. The cover art was photographed by Hailey herself, and features singer Justine Skye. Last night, GoldLink delivered an electrifying performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon with a medley of "Zulu Screams" ft. Maleek Berry and a new, unreleased track "Ridd."

Swoosh More about Goldlink: Where the intersections of the DMV (DC, Maryland and Virginia) collide, GoldLink is a direct product. Washington, D.C., and the broader DMV area, have long been treated like a musical Rubik's cube. There are bursting, Technicolor patches of musical brilliance, but the component parts never line up in a way that made sense to those on the outside. GoldLink is not interested in spelling out all the nuances of his hometown; what he does aim to do is synthesize his environment's litany of influences and inspirations into something unique, singular, and all together his own. With his debut studio album At What Cost (Squaaash Club/RCA)--helmed by the monstrous single "Crew"--released in March 2017, he's done just that. By merging the sensibilities of go-go with the African diaspora, he's done what hip-hop has done from its inception: repurpose what's available into something magical. The success of At What Cost and now Triple Platinum single "Crew" saw GoldLink achieve a number of career firsts in the past few months -- from his Grammy nomination for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration to the iHeartMedia Music Awards nomination for Best New Hip-Hop Artist to his BET Awards nomination for Best New Artist.
