Goldini Bagwell has long been a fixture of Portland’s underground hip hop scene where his stand-out verses and featured appearances have gained him notoriety, whether it’s been in collaboration with some of the city’s best talent (Oldominion, Taco Neck, Liv Warfield, John Craig and the Weekend), or with his group Sandpeople. Fans have eagerly awaited a solo album and on November 29th, Sandpeople Music will proudly deliver Bagwell’s much anticipated debut,Chainsmoke. Produced entirely by Pmpee Beats out of Lahti, Finland, Chainsmoke is an international effort and a fitting introduction to the man and myth that is Goldini Bagwell (aka Gold). True to its title, Chainsmoke is an unrelenting debut from an experienced artist, as Gold puts his vices, history, ambitions, and microphone-slaughtering skills on full display over Pmpee Beats’ hard-hitting drums and soulful melodies.
“Bagwell” is the first single off of Chainsmoke and is a perfect theme-song to help you get better acquainted with the mysterious Goldini Bagwell. The picture Gold paints here is somewhat Bond-esque as he wanders through foreign countries on a secret mission to drink Jameson and capture girls’ hearts. Like most spies, “Bagwell” has many enemies, including himself, but this only adds intrigue to the storyline. The same can be said for Pmpee Beats’ production with its suspenseful string and piano blend and head-nodding rhythm. Get to know “Bagwell” and prepare for a healthy dose of Gold’s Chainsmoke on November 29th.
