‘Crew’ GoldLink ft. Brent Faiyaz, Shy Glizzy (2016)

“Crew” dropped December 16, 2016 as the lead single from GoldLink’s debut studio album At What Cost, released via Squaaash Club/RCA Records in March 2017, assembling three of the DMV’s most distinct voices on a single record: GoldLink, Brent Faiyaz, and Southeast D.C.‘s Shy Glizzy.  Produced entirely by Teddy Walton, the beat is rooted in the bounce and syncopation of Washington D.C.‘s native go-go sound blended with 90s R&B warmth, a combination GoldLink had been refining since his mixtape days but executed here with more polish and radio clarity than anything he’d put out before.

The video directed by Matthew Dillon Cohen and released March 2, 2017 was shot largely in Cheverly, Maryland, a D.C. suburb, deliberately grounding the visual in the actual neighborhoods the record came from rather than leaning on expensive sets or travel shoots.  Commercially the song peaked at No. 45 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 2 on R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, but its cultural footprint outweighed those numbers significantly.  At the 60th Annual Grammy Awards, “Crew” earned a nomination for Best Rap/Sung Performance, placing it in a category alongside Jay-Z, SZA, Kendrick Lamar, and 6LACK, a lineup that confirmed this was not a regional record anymore but one of the defining songs of that year’s rap landscape.
