Introducing himself ahead of upcoming album Humble Beginnings Miami MC Dylan Golden releases newest single Gardens. Described by Dylan as "a single that best embodies who I am as an artist" the track is an open and revealing narrative detailing growing up in Miami's Hispanic community and relating to cultural heritage. Setting the scene for this the opening piano led beat shifts to a number of Buena Vista Social Club samples which build in intensity as Dylan narrates his cultural acceptance until finally the sound and energy of Miami is bought to the fore. - Tom Hill
I started making a list of my favorite lines from Dylan Golden's dope “Gardens” and then realized I'd written down the whole damn song. Over production that melds the legendary Cuban composer Isolina Carrillo's “Dos Gardenios” with bombastic beats, Golden's rhymes break down his journey of learning to “cherish what I've inherited” and be proud of who he is. “I'm so damn proud to be a young Latin male / Ima always be golden even if my records never sell.” The trumpets and guitars break in and out melding the classic and the new; a perfect accompaniment to the lyrics, as they look to define an identity through the lens of the past. - Nathan Leigh
