"Goldie" is a song by American hip-hop recording artist ASAP Rocky. It was released on April 27, 2012, as the lead single from his debut studio album Long. Live. ASAP (2013). [1] The song was produced by Hit-Boy, who wanted to play off Rocky's laid-back style of rapping, accompanied by intentional vocal distortions, to produce a sound bordering along comatose. Beneath the beat, Hit-Boy added a reverberating chant meant to add a sinister atmosphere to the track. [2]
