Goldie Lookin' Chain are a rap group based in Newport. They produce humourous, often explicit songs that satirise both hip-hop and life in the 'Port.

Many of the songs contain references to places and hang-outs local to Newport. Much of the humour comes from the adoption of hip-hop style and language, adapted into the local South Wales vernacular, partly to poke fun at petty criminals who identify with hip-hop cliches. Their music also satirises gangsta rappers by highlighting how petty crime culture sounds ridiculous when not surrounded by media hype and glamour usually associated with gangsta rap.

The GLC have locally released the following albums: "Don't Blame The Chain", "Chain's Addiction", "The Return of the Red Eye", "Party Album", "Adam Hussain's Truth or Slander" and "The Manifesto".

The GLC were signed to Record label East/West, who also signed Rock band The Darkness. Rumours suggest that GLC were signed after record label bosses heard The Darkness playing GLC tracks whilst on tour (source: BBC Radio 1 - GLC Documentary). GLC went on to support The Darkness in the latter stages of their UK tour. Further rumours suggest the Goldie Lookin Chain and The Darkness will collaborate on a cover of Run-DMC/ Aerosmith hit Walk This Way

Their first UK Chart Entry was Half-Man Half-Machine/Self Suicide. In August 2004 they reached number 3 in the UK singles chart with Guns Don't Kill People, Rappers Do. Their debut nationally released album Greatest Hits (playing on the meaning of "Greatest Hits" albums, as they usually have an artist's top songs spanning of usually long careers, while this album was only GLC's first album) was released in September 2004, which debuted at number 5 in the UK Album Chart.

Their next single release was "Your Mother's Got a Penis", and the video to accompany is based on a Supermarket theme. "Your Mother's Got a Penis" first appeared on their Album "Greatest Hits". It reached #14 in the UK.

The Chain's next release is "You Knows I Loves You" from the albums "Greatest Hits" and "The Manifesto", the release date is 13th December 2004. There is yet another rumour that Goldie Lookin Chain may be doing a Christmas Duet with the rapper Eminem, possibly named 'Eminem's Boy Child'
