On "Golden Child", Durk takes a shot at American DJ and interviewer DJ Vlad with the lines: "I don't speak tongues, period / I don't fuck with Vlad".[1] A few other rappers have previously had problems with Vlad as federal officers have used what they said in interviews with him to answer his questions as evidence against them.[2] Throughout the song, he raps about his loyalty ane name-drops previous collaborator, American singer Bryson Tiller.[3] Preezy Brown of Vibe wrote that the song "capture[s] Durk in his freewheeling element that fans have come to love him for".[4]
The official music video for "Golden Child", directed by Jerry Productions, premiered alongside the song on March 10, 2022. The video sees Durk hanging out with artists signed to his record label, Only the Family, as they flex huge stacks of cash.[5]
