The Making Of GoldLink's "Crew" Feat. Brent Faiyaz & Shy Glizzy With Teddy Walton | Deconstructed
Музыка
DMV-based rapper GoldLink dropped his major label debut 'At What Cost' in March and the album’s standout track is “Crew” featuring Shy Glizzy and Brent Faiyaz. The Teddy Walton-produced song has been streamed more than 31 million times on Spotify since it was originally released as a single in December 2016, and the Memphis-bred producer sat down with Genius to explain how the track came together for the latest episode of Deconstructed.

How did you not get that impression... every single thing he said he acted like he came up with when it's all been done by thousands of other producers. Layering snares? No shit. Throwing in foley sounds (rain, ocean, etc.)? Literally everyone has done it. The beat sounds good but he's acting like he's pushing boundaries here.

Teddy is the kind of success story that encourages me as a underground artist with a small following. Seeing how he’s developed his skills and slowly blown up after seizing each and every opportunity he’s been giving has been inspirational! Mans has quickly become a mainstay in the industry and for good reason. Dude is too nice! I know if I put in the work, I can reach a larger audience some day too, but for now, I’m happy being a supporter. My turn will come too. Salute to Teddy🔥

This song is in the hall of fame of the 2010s. I was in senior year of high school when this went viral and the vibes that this song brings out whenever it's played at a party or at the car is just unmatched. I definitely miss those times.
He said I got crazy girl moaning in this beat
"If it really dont touch your soul in not even gonna finish this" Felt that on a spiritual level with how I feel about my production
“im not a beat maker” proceeds to make the beat.

this is actually a great beat. kicks knockin, bassline moves, and theres actually elements of music theory so it doesnt get too repetitive and put people to sleep. well done
I'VE PLAYED THIS SONG SO MANY TIMES. I LOVE IT. I LOVED THIS. Thank you
One of my favorite beats as of lately. Great work.
so in love with the beginning. that 'ambient' sound.
Aye most underrated song of 2017 🔥🔥🔥
3:50 when u know its right. U dont know what it is but it still feels right
Guy is so original and talented, worked on one of the best albums to come out in recent years, and Crew, one of my favorite songs.
i love Crew so much & i'm so glad he made the beat the way he did because it really sets the scene for the whole song to me :) tbh the beat is part of the reason why i love listening to it so often lol
3:50 is one of the hardest things I’ve ever seen
i was waiting so long for this
I Been waiting on this for forever.
So glad a series like this exist, shoutout to the producers
"I mean, I'll put a bass over a bass. Like, this already had a bass you known what im sayin?" Haha this dude is awesome
Been listening to Teddy's beats since June's mixtape, glad he's getting exposure and producing for big names like Kendrick and Freddie Gibbs

This nigga fire. This song came up on my specially crafted DW playlist, I've meticulously spent over six years crafting and honing the algorithm to output me the dopest music. And Crew came out and it made it past my review process to get added to my master collection. Will definitely have to follow this dude's career. Hope he works with Drake on some god tier beat.
These videos are THE BEST. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
