Top 101 Songs of 2017 & Playlist

GOLDLINK CREW FEAT BRENT FAIYAZ & SHY GLIZZY — **At What Cost** by GoldLink was one of my most anticipated albums coming into 2017 after GoldLink’s 2016 effort **And After That We Didn’t Talk**. GoldLink met and exceeded my expectations with At What Cost, dropping song of the year “**Crew**” with DMV-family Brent Faiyaz and Shy Glizzy and another top 20 song in “Summatime” featuring Wale and Radiant Children.
