24KGoldn is a rapper, singer, arranger and USC freshman from San Francisco, California. His new single, “Valentino” is out now on RECORDS CO / COLUMBIA RECORDS. Melody is Goldn’s muscle. His smorgasbord of rhyme style immediately snatched the attention of hip-hop tastemakers and fans alike. After an early 2018 post on premiere hip-hop website Djbooth.net on “Soundcloud rappers” went viral, he decided to separate himself with the infectious “Balling Like Shareef.” Inspired by the high school basketball dominance of Shaquille O’Neal’s son, the breakout song finds its author spitting a fiesta of hoop metaphors atop a flow as fun as the Black Mayo-produced track. This early coverage landed the young talent on a flight toward the office of decorated music executive Barry Weiss, who was introduced to Goldn by music producer D.A Doman (Travis Scott, Kodack Black, Tyga), who will also executive produce the debut EP. Blown away by the teen’s intelligence, charisma, and ear for music, Weiss inked the future star to his RECORDS LLC label (distributed by SONY). Although Goldn loves a good freestyle session, he navigates his embryonic career with the strategic and purposeful intent of a CEO––in the classroom and studio. He remembers Social Studies being his favorite course––reflected by his diverse social media optimization and rapidly growing 50K following. Now he’s on scholarship, majoring in Business at USC, with a trajectory that screams young mogul.
