In 2009, Links released his first demo called “The Movement in the Making”.  Now after years of hard work and perseverance, Links is marked to release a mixtape/album titled “The Struggle”.  The single “Green”, which has already been released, leads the way encouraging all those who are out there working hard to trying to make their dreams come true.  It relates to fame, fortune, the dreams and the journeys you will take to get there.  This song is a taste of what’s to come.   His fans are eagerly anticipating the release.   Links released his debut album/mix tape “The Struggle” on February 24, 2015.  
“Green” is a great song with a real upbeat rhythm, has great vocals that play off of each other.  The use of the electronics is out-of-the-box – GREEN.  The lyrics are great, the arrangement is hot and it just teases you, pleases you to the point of just begging for more – and he doesn’t disappoint.   Like the entire mix tape, this song has a smooth flow to it, very catchy lines.  Your body just moves on its own – very well done, very hot, relatable, sustainable and it’s a ‘must buy’ in my book.  Links’ fans were right.  
Links has been through it all and has seen it all.  It’s now his time to morph into the great music artist that he knows he is.  He’s blessed with a gift and he will leave his mark, as all the greats, do.
