Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, multinational hip-hop trio RDGLDGRN (aka Red Gold Green) has performed two livestream concerts, with donations going to Capital Area Food Bank’s COVID response efforts. Due to the enthusiastic response of the fans, the band decided to release an album of these livestream sessions, titled Red Gold Green Live and is available everywhere now. The band also released a new single and lyric video for “Everybody Living In A Trap,” animated by Bullpen.tv.

RDGLDGRN began during a bedroom jam session from a basement in a DC suburb, although the threesome were brought together in their teens. The trio blend hip-hop, rock, and go-go music genres to create their unique sound, influenced by their personal histories. Each member of the band was raised in a different version of the immigrant’s tale to find a better life on American soil. Pierre Desrosiers a/k/a King Green (vocals) is the son of Haitian immigrants from the 1970s. Andrei Busuioceanu a/k/a Gold (bass) arrived in America when he was 5 from Romania. Marcus Parham a/k/a Red (guitars) is an African-American raised as a global citizen attending high school in Ghana and living extensively overseas. The band name and each member’s identity is based on the three Pan-African Colors used most often on the flags of African nations. The members stick to this regimented palette for their clothes, seldom being seen in public otherwise.
During a studio recording session for their debut single, “I Love Lamp,” they met Dave Grohl who collaborated with them on their LP’s tens songs, recorded at famed Sound City Studios in LA. That LP led to international touring and other creative formations with Pharrell Williams, among numerous others. After their first record, RDGLDGRN LP, they left their major label to develop an independent, artistic vision through Deuce Day World, their own label, both for music and fashion. On their two follow-up albums RDGLDGRN Radio and RDGLDGRN 3, their musical and lyrical journey grew with consistent themes of love, success, global awareness, sportsmanship, community service, and dancing.
