Posted on Friday, March 20th, 2009 by lee

This week’s playlist is provided by Goldie Jawn, an up and coming rapper out of Philadelphia. With her name growing every week in Philly, we’re were lucky to get her to talk to us for just a minute.

C&S: Pick 10 musicians that influence your music.
Goldie Jawn: JDilla, Carmen McCrae, Black Milk, Beyonce, Aretha Franklin, Patti Labelle, Stevie Wonder, Lauryn Hill, Jay Z, Little Brother, Ella Fitzgerald, Jill Scott.

I have 12. I have more but these are who came to mind right away. All of these artists are absolutely stellar, they bring their A game every time. So freakin dope!
Who would you most like to work with?
Beyonce, Jay Z, Black Milk, Sting, Little Brother, Prince, Nancy Wilson, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Usher, Dwele, Bilal, The Roots, 9th Wonder, Just Blaze. I’m a music person and all of the people I want to work with are in various genres of music but when your a true musician you can freak any type of music and make it banging.

What’s your worst gig?
My absolutely worst gig was the first time I performed. It was at this community center here in Philly. OMG, it was the summer time and it felt like I was in the middle of the Sahara Desert rocking a leather jumpsuit with 3 pairs of socks and a big wig without water. So hot. My throat was soooo mad at me cuz i did 5 songs! The water provided didnt help but I guess thats what you call paying your dues.
