GoldLink showcases some versatility.

GoldLink shows off some soulful vocal chops on BBC's Radio 1, hitting the "Piano Sessions" for his rendition of Outkast's classic "Roses." Hearing the stripped down, acoustic arrangement really highlights how great of a songwriter Andre 3000 really is, but GoldLink is more than up for the challenge. The D.C. rapper kills the cover, nailing some of Andre's inflections while still making it his own. Throw in Irish trifecta Hare Squad and Masego, and you're golden.

During the session, GoldLink also performed acoustic renditions of "Herside Story" & "Crew." Check out the cover below, and take a second to appreciate Andre's contributions to the game.
