Golden's first music video, "Trappers Anthem", was released in 2017. In January 2019, he released the single "Valentino", which received over 100 million plays on Spotify. He received his first record deal through producer D. A. Doman. 24kGoldn got his big break through his 2019 "high-energy" single "Valentino". However, the rapper said in 2020 that "those ['Valentino'] were recorded over a year ago and don't exactly reflect the person I have become since then". Golden released his debut EP Dropped Outta College in November 2019, and he signed a record deal with Records, LLC and Columbia Records. In 2020, Golden gained further attention with single "City of Angels", which was officially released to US alternative radio on March 31, 2020; followed up in May 2020 with an official remix of the song by English singer-songwriter Yungblud. On May 20, 24kGoldn was featured on the remix of Olivia O'Brien's single "Josslyn".
On August 11, 2020, he was included on XXL's 2020 Freshman Class, placing in the 10th position after receiving the most fan votes. That same month, Golden's July 2020 single "Mood" featuring Iann Dior hit the charts due to its success on TikTok. It went on to peak at number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
24kGoldn's music ranges from a variety of genres, motivated by his need to "never want[ing] to be constricted by one genre". Regarding his style, he stated: "depending on what song you listen to, my music can be described different ways". He attributes his "maturity and development" to rapper Paypa Boy, who initially got him into recording music.
24kGoldn grew up in San Francisco, California and attended Lowell High School, a selective public school. As a child, 24kGoldn acted in commercials. Golden sang in the choir in middle school and high school, and, with that, the importance of music in his life grew with his "own growth". Before he realised he could do music professionally, he planned on becoming a hedge fund manager. Golden attended the University of Southern California where he joined the Beta-Sigma Chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, as a Spring 2019 initiate. He initially took a leave of absence from school to pursue his rap career. Golden stated that he was not anticipating "that things were going to happen so fast when I came to USC", and did not think he would finish University, but he wanted to round off the school year to further develop the relationships he made, stating his love for being on campus, and that being a student kept him "grounded".

See this drip that I was born with, can't wait in line for that
I can get it out her purse, and she still be fine with that
Cause the way I dick her down, I deserve a couple racks
She hit my phone with that bullshit, ain't got time for that
See this drip that I was born with, can't wait in line for that
I can get it out her purse, and she still be fine with that
Cause the way I dick her down, I deserve a couple racks
I'm a G, real gentleman, you can let me in
Ain't a phantom, boy that make make believe, they playin' pretend again
Drop you off in an ambulance, you disrespect the bands
Niggas soft, like some dandelions, we blow em back again
Take it off, like a mannequin, I want them M&Ms
Niggas bitches, acting feminine, they switch like pedalin'
Foreign plug, talkin' Mandarin, I brought the Benjamins
Run it up, do it again again, we do it again again
Foreign plug, foreign plug, and he talkin' Guapanese
She blow money on my feet, like some paper in a breeze
Cash out, cash out, call up Caleb for the keys
I got mustard in my pants, bitch I know you smell this cheese
Ass out, ass out, she gon' pop it just for me
How she fit those double Ds, in that tiny Gucci tee
Racks out, racks out, I be flexin' in these streets
Ima rock it out the store, got no need for the receipts
She hit, she hit my phone with that bullshit, ain't got time for that
See this drip that I was born with, can't wait in line for that
I can get it out her purse, and she still be fine with that
Cause the way I dick her down, I deserve a couple racks
She hit my phone with that bullshit, ain't got time for that
See this drip that I was born with, can't wait in line for that
I can get it out her purse, and she still be fine with that
Cause the way I dick her down, I deserve a couple racks
Got addicted like Demi Lovato, she like to swallow
Keep the solid and you niggas hollow, so can you follow
Chase a bag and never chase a bitch, that's been the motto
Chase a check and now a nigga rich, Ricky Ricardo
Overtaking on the underpass, I'm with a model
And she like when I go dummy fast, I hit the throttle
Hit up Roscoe's and I order chicken, I order waffles
Hit the blunt and then she hit the bottle, she hit the wobble
Woah, woah, woah, woah
I be, I be standing tall
Niggas sitting on they ass, they can't, they can't stand at all
Goat, goat, goat, goat
Fifty, fifty bands and all
You can't race me to this money, you ain't got no chance at all
Niggas, niggas actin' funny got me trippin' still won't fall
If it ain't about the dollars, sorry I can't take your call
Niggas, niggas actin' funny got me trippin' still won't fall
If it ain't about the dollars, sorry I can't take your call
She hit, she hit my phone with that bullshit, ain't got time for that
See this drip that I was born with, can't wait in line for that
I can get it out her purse, and she still be fine with that
Cause the way I dick her down, I deserve a couple racks
She hit my phone with that bullshit, ain't got time for that
