Childish Gambino: “Melrose” (Prod. Stefan Ponce)
The other night, Donald Glover caused a stir on Twitter by tweeting an ominous instrumental track at Jhene Aiko. As if the pair needed anymore rumors (Glover has denied they are romantically involved), the internet ran wild with rumors of what the track could be and why he sent it Aiko's way. On the song, Childish adds high-pitched, airy vocals to a similarly formed beat, before dropping into a…

The Weekly Swarm: 10/14 – 10/20
What a great week at Ruby Hornet.

While Donald Glover will have a shortened run on the upcoming fifth season of Community, he's putting in work as his alter-ego, Childish Gambino. A week ago, he released a new song, "Centipede," seemingly out of nowhere. Last night, he followed suit with a short video entitled Clapping for the Wrong Reasons. Is it a trailer for a short film? Is it a teaser for an…
Childish Gambino: “Centipede”
I'm not going to lie, I was pretty bummed out when it was announced that Donald Glover would be appearing in only five episodes of the upcoming Community season, but looking at the situation from a glass half-full perspective, at least we'll have a more focused Childish Gambino, releasing some really good music. Case in point, today we have a new joint entitled “Centipede”, listen below.
[Trailer] The To Do List
Back in 2011, there was this lovely little movie being developed called The Hand Job that was gonna star Aubrey Plaza (Safety Not Guaranteed) as an inexperienced high school graduate desperate to have her first sexual experiences to prepare herself for college. Of course, MPAA wasn't going to green-light the name of the film, and it was unceremoniously changed to The To Do List. Sure, it…

CollegeHumor has been arguably one of the destinations for online comedy for years. I remember watching all of the Derrick Comedy videos years back before Donald Glover won everybody over with his hilarious portrayal of Troy Barnes on Community (let alone taking us to Camp as Childish Gambino). With a series of funny video shorts under their belt, the brand is ready…
Childish Gambino: “Tell Me” ft. Heems
You can see the progression in Childish Gambino's music from track to track. "Tell Me" is no exception. Donald Glover brings a much more relaxed and natural flow than what listeners have heard on the majority of his past tracks. For "Tell Me", Gambino brings in Heems of Das Racist for the assist and the rappers trade a few verses.
