{Photos/Trailer} :: A First Look at Donald Glover's Beyoncé Inspired Series, "Swarm"

*trailer added 02/27


"We just thought it'd be fun to make a post-truth Piano Teacher mixed with The King of Comedy."
- Donald Glover to Vanity Fair.

Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino is tapping his creativity into the tv world once again.  The series idea was pitched to Atlanta writer and producer, Janine Nabers, who was on board with the modern "anti-hero story".  Swarm enlists Dominique Fishback (Judas and the Black Messiah), Damson Idris (Snowfall), and singer Chloe Bailey as lead roles.  Notably, Malia Obama is apart of the writers room.

Circa 2018.

 In honor of the first day of summer solstice.  A sound production that embodies the title.
Every day gets hotter than the one before...

It's about to go down...
Go down.

Video :: Sober | Childish Gambino

If you just give me some time
I can open up your mind...


New video from Gambino's 'KAUAI' side of the 'STN MTN/KAUAI' tape.  In this visual, he does his best rendition of 'how to annoy a girl waiting for her food' with dramatics to the lyrics and smooth killer dance moves, while his reasoning is presented mid way through. 
 In the end, cordialness prevails.  Watch below::

Video : Telegraph Ave (Oakland by. Lloyd) | Childish Gambino

Everything you won't say
you tweet it....


Childish Gambino and Jhene Aiko reunite again for another visual.
While this one may start off as a sweet romance trip to the 'Because the Internet' track, it takes a weird unexpected turn. I'd freak out. Watch below::

Mixtape : STN MTN / KAUAI | Childish Gambino

***UPDATE - KAUAI was removed as it is available for purchase on iTunes. STN MTN, however, is available for free download- featured below.

Semen on her stomach
That's her 2nd coming......


I listened to this about five times yesterday. One because I was too busy working to find something else to listen to and Two, I wanted to give it a fair chance before I formed an opinion. I was really looking forward to the release of this when it was mentioned about 2 1/2 weeks ago. It arrived and it was the opposite of what I hoped for. While I, then, and continually find myself going ape inside over the 'Southern Hospitality' flow opener on STN MTN, I ultimately found myself gravitating more to KAUAI. That in itself is odd, for me that is. I posted them both below. Listen after the jump::

Race Talk : Childish Gambino stops by the Breakfast Club

Our job as like young Blacks in this country is to show our worth...


Ahhh... the debate of Black and White. I've seen many negative comments in reference to this interview as far as Childish Gambino goes. I have great pride and involvement with our culture, which is #obvious, and wasn't offended by anything he said. I understood completely what he was saying. I got Charlemagne’s point, also, BUT I felt he wasn’t really getting what Gambino was trying to relay. One of those moments where you have to really listen (or endure certain things for that matter to understand) more instead of talking. It’s not about ‘inferiority’. It’s about reality… and if you think he was saying the reality is ‘who is better than who’.. You missed the message. Two different plateaus. I could type so much more, but I’ll stop here.
They never really got to the topic of his ‘mixtape’, but rather continued the Black v. White convo for a while and then went all over the place. Quite a conversation spark. Listen below::
'Because Whiteness is blankness. They look at it as a blank slate; when you come in you can be anything. Like when I walk in even if I have a bow tie, they might be like 'Is he Muslim?', they're not gonna do that with a White dude...'

Chance the Rapper premieres lost verse on Childish Gambino's 'The Worst Guys'

Image via ChildishGambinoFanClub

"This nxgga doesn't turn in verses that's why" explained Gambino as to why Chance is only on the hook of 'The Worst Guys'. The song is still undeniably hot even with just the hook, but the music Gawds saw fit to give us what we wanted. This year at the Governors Ball Music Festival on Randall's Island, NYC, Chance surprised the entire crowd and performed a full verse to the track. Talk about 'he killed that shit'. Pursuit of Dopeness caught the footage on a great recording, as well as Andre 3000 and his son Seven (omg time flies) who stopped by personally to check out his set. How cool that Chance's verse features some Outkast references.

Speaking of the Kast, keep a lookout for my personal Governors Ball post this year w/ Outkast's set coming sometime (hopefully) this week. In the meantime, check out Gam and Chance's hype performance below::

Video : Sweatpants | Childish Gambino x Problem

Yea, you got some silverware
but really are you eating tho??


Here's a new visual from one of the bangers off Gambino's current album, Because the Internet. Aside from the burst of joy I received from the unexpected switch to 'Urn', I ran this back twice to see if I had the same interpretation of the video that I did the first time. Interesting. Check it out::

What Kind of Love | Childish Gambino

What kind of love don't hurt so bad?
What kind of love don't feel this way?...


While this is the incomplete version.. meaning it's still raw in its state and not mastered, this record is absolutely perfect. On top of its "God (Interlude)" by Andre 3000 feel, you can effortlessly get lost in the tranquility of the guitar cords and Gambino's easy going vocals. Take a listen below::

Video : Childish Gambino performs "I’d Die Without You" cover on BBC 1Xtra

Now I'm under water
and I'm DROWNING...

When I first saw the headline of Gambino & ‘I’d Die Without You’… I thought “PM Dawn? No.. it can’t be. Maybe he’s doing a revamp for a track of his own”. To my surprise and utter excitement, he indeed performed the exact cover of one of my favorite love songs in the whole world. His voice tone fits perfect. During his BBC 1Xtra appearance, he also performed a stripped version of his single ‘3005’ off his latest album, Because the Internet. That video isn’t posted yet, however, take a listen to his PM Dawn’s ‘I’d Die Without You’ cover below:: :
