Goldfish have an unfortunate association with a nine-second attention span, but STL GLD’s “GLD FSH” will lock you in for its full three-minute, 36-second runtime. The Boston hip-hop group bookended last Saturday’s GLD FSTVL — the annual music fest that they curate at City Hall Plaza — with the release of their new single and video. The glimmering “GLD FSH” follows STL GLD’s 2022 LP Rock Boyega with a whirlpool of commentary that responds to cruelty and greed with “bullets of Black excellence / nonviolent elegance,” as Moe Pope raps. Given the proximity to GLD FSTVL, “GLD FSH” feels like the beginning of a victory lap for the group, who celebrate their 10th year as collaborators this year. Dive in below.
