If you only know “Redbone” and “This Is America,” these earlier recordings provide a valuable glimpse into a young Glover coming into his own.īack then, he would record under different pseudonyms, like Bambino X, an indication that he was mostly screwing around.
CHILDISH GAMBINO MIXTAPE DOWNLOAD SERIES
Recording under the name Childish Gambino, he’s had a series of hits, including “3005” and “Summertime Magic,” but there’s a whole treasure trove of mixtapes he produced before releasing his official 2011 debut Camp that are worth your time. But while we wait to see if the 38-year-old can return to his previous glory, it might be time to shine a light on a segment of Glover’s career that’s less well-known. Glover’s been pretty quiet since - the last few things he’s done, 2019’s minor Guava Island film and the following year’s 3.15.20 album, felt self-indulgent and phoned-in - but he’s back this month with Season Three of Atlanta, which will conclude in the fall with its fourth and final season. (Hardcore comedy fans also worship him for his involvement in Derrick Comedy.) Taking on challenges one after another, knocking them all down with apparent effortlessness - he’s even pivotal in one of the all-time great Halloween songs - Glover made other performers look lazy as he flexed a seemingly limitless amount of ambition. He was funny in The Martian, sexy in Magic Mike XXL, a very credible Lando Calrissian in Solo and a pop star thanks to “Awaken, My Love!” and its ubiquitous single “Redbone” - and that’s after being part of the beloved cult sitcom Community and on the writing staff for 30 Rock. Starting around 2016, when his groundbreaking series Atlanta first aired, up through 2018, when “This Is America” hit the internet like a bomb, the massively talented writer/actor/director/rapper/stand-up seemed to be everywhere, with everything he touched turning to gold. They’re sweet, beautiful men we’ve never met, and we can’t wait to share the fully formed relationships we have with each of them.įor about a three-year span, Donald Glover was arguably the biggest thing in the world.
