24kGoldn Announces Dropped Outta College EP, Featuring “Valentino,” Out 11/22

Delivering melodic rap songs with a rockstar attitude, 24kGoldn is one of the West Coast’s most promising breakout stars. Collecting eight tracks that demonstrate his breadth of talents, Goldn shares Dropped Outta College, his upcoming debut EP. Recorded over the past year, the new EP tells the story of Goldn’s life as a budding artist and a college student at USC, exploring the emotions, relationships, and desires he felt at the time. With production from the likes of D.A. Doman and Black Mayo, the EP vacillates from strutting trap on tracks like “The Gram,” to bouncy alt-rock on “City of Angels,” to breezy summertime pop on “Been Here Before.” Though the EP hops from genre to genre, the 19-year-old artist is always convincing, buoyed by his powerful pipes, which can convey outrageous confidence and frayed vulnerability in equal measure. Featuring previously released singles like “A Lot To Lose,” “Games On Your Phone,” and the viral hit “Valentino,” the Dropped Outta College EP arrives on November 22nd via RECORDS, LLC/Columbia Records.

ROZES Joins Forces with Mat Kearney for Stunning New Single “Walls” – out Today

“‘Walls’ is about the emotional space between two people who seem to each stand stubborn in their views. It feels so current in today’s world, whether it’s romance, friendship, or family, sometimes we stand on the opposite side of those we love.” – ROZES

“‘Walls’ came about very organically the day ROZES and I met. I had written the title and some of the chorus a while back.

Above all, it’s a vivid look at the working class mindset of a character staring out at a world they feel both alienated from and at peace with.
