It’s refreshing to see GoldLink where he finally belongs: atop the hip-hop scene, touring around the world, and releasing confident anthems without losing a step in his creative lane. With his latest single featuring Peewee Longway and WaveIQ, he has no hesitation to flex on everyone else. Got Muscle is the kind of transcendent banger that exists as a lyrically prolific hip-hop humblebrag and simultaneously a party anthem that will get everyone in the house bouncing in unison while showing their biceps. With a continuation of his growth as a writer and a rapper, Got Muscle is much more than its surface level energy. It’s also a display of GoldLink finally stepping into the limelight he has so fervently earned and letting everyone in the game know just how self-aware he is of his talent and his position. Since 2017’s At What Cost spearheaded by the Grammy-nominated Crew, GoldLink has become one of the more recognizable names in hip-hop’s top tier, but with releases like Got Muscle and an eventual project with the same energy, GoldLink will truly become a household name.
