Consider this as an introduction to the “future bounce.” The term, coined by DMV rapper, Gold Link James, in one of his earliest records, is the best way to define the sound of his forward-thinking music. It’s calculated and innovative yet still full and soulful; lo-fi (here read: reminiscent of the mid-to-late 90s) raps over effectively mixed sonics. It’s an avant-garde approach to trap that doesn’t alienate the purists. In his newest record, “Club Bang RMX (Rosa),” Gold Link keeps to his carefully crafted mold and brings that “future bounce” right back. The ethereal track packs a wallop right up until its sinister breakdown lulls you to sleep. The return of the drums is your wake up call; stop sleepin’. Listen to and download the record below. Squaaash!
