GoldLink – “Sober Thoughts” (Video)

You might not have seen his face but you definitely heard his voice when it comes to the artist Goldlink.  The DMV based emcee has continued to make waves and is doing shows and festivals now.  He has released a video for one of my favorite tracks from him, “Sober Thoughts”,  a Kaytranada produced song.  Directed by Shomi Patwary who does a great job of capturing the essence of this track with the low lights and sporadic imagery.
