Background


The song earned Trinidad James a major record deal with Def Jam Recordings worth 2 million. Complex ranked the song #35 on the 50 best songs of 2012 list. The official remix was released on January 7, 2013, featuring fellow Atlanta rappers T.I., Young Jeezy and 2 Chainz. On February 14, 2013, Trinidad James performed the song on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. The music video for the remix was filmed on January 31, 2013 and was released on February 27, 2013.

Critical reception



Pitchfork Media commented on the track by saying "If the heyday of disco had produced a rapper, it might have been Atlanta's Trinidad James. When he talks about gold-- he's obsessed with it-- it's not so much about status as it is about sheer flamboyance. 'I'm too fly/ You know this/ Let me give your ass a checklist', he raps on 'All Gold Everything', the letters slithering off his tongue around a slow, exaggerated ripple of a beat. The track comes from his mixtape Don't Be S.A.F.E., an excellent debut that toggles seamlessly between snaggle-toothed drug talk, flashy boasts and earnest self-deprecation."




Music video


The music video shot in Atlanta, Georgia was directed by Motion Family and premiered on MTV Jams on November 18, 2012. As of November 2021, the music video has over 40 million views on YouTube.
