Childish Gambino

    Childish Gambino is the alias of one Donald Glover, a Georgia born NYU graduate with a degree in Dramatic Writing. Doesn't sound like the average start of a rap career does it? To make things even more unlikely, Glover originally came to prominence as a member of the sketch team Derrick Comedy, famous for videos like "Bro Rape" and "Memory Loss" (a skit in which Glover, suffering from amnesia, repeatedly blows his male friend). So he doesn't come with a huge amount of street cred. But in a world where Drake, the half white, half Jewish, Canadian Teen Soap star can make it big, I'd like to believe anything is possible.

   What makes it even better is that Glover is good. In fact hes damn good. Childish Gambino explores an area covered by guys like Atmosphere, one plagued by troubled romances, suicidal thoughts, and drug and alcohol abuse. Self esteem issues are the new "Fuck the Police", so I predict a pretty solid future for Childish Gambino, who's only begun to come into his own.

  THIS IS THE 21st CENTURY FOLKS. There are no more rules of legitimacy and I suggest you embrace it. Things are way cooler without a bunch of OG's lurking behind a corner waiting to blow the "sellout", "poser", etc, whistle.

       Here are some sweet Gambino tracks, fo free (I usually charge $10 a track, I know, I'm benevolent).
