24kGoldn

24kGoldn (born Golden Landis Von Jones) is a San Francisco based pop and rap artist who often navigates pop-infused rap and rap-adjacent pop waters with remarkable dexterity. When he raps, he stylistically seems to be in the same orbit as the alternative hip-hop of Kid Cudi. His partnership with guitarist Omer Fedi can be seen in the inspired ways in which guitar was used in El Dorado, including that sweet and melodic acoustic guitar arpeggio that makes an occasional appearance. When 24kGoldn commits to the pop mode, his songs are built on catchy melodies that stand on their own as top-40 candidates, and the production has the polish that enhances the songs without getting in the way.
