Both elusive and pervasive, Lido remodels Goldlink’s “Crew” into his own liking
In celebration of many firsts—including his first major label release, first Coachella appearance, and first Billboard Hot 100 single, the D.C. rapper gave his ethereal single “Crew” a collection of varying remixes and covers. Yeah, they’re all really good. Most notable, however, is the handiwork of the Norwegian producer—a whirling dervish of musical styles that shifts with every new verse. Brent Faiyaz may not have considered fulfilling his hook duty over a gospel backbone. Yet, surely he is sitting against a wall somewhere—eyes closed and head nodding—with this iteration of “Crew” in his headphones.
