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 funk line. The roadwork was crafted by Chicago's own Stefan Ponce, who has spent much of the last year in Los Angeles with Gambino working on new music. Where's the final landing place for the track? We may not find out for a minute, but so far they've got some hot stuff to work with.
[Video] Jhene Aiko: "Bed Peace" (feat. Childish Gambino)
Jhene Aiko's "Bed Peace" was received with overwhelming positive feed-back from critics and fans alike back when the song dropped a few weeks back. Now, Jhene is here alongside Childish Gambino once again for the official visual treatment to the latest single off the Sail Out EP. Influenced by John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s “Bed-Ins for Peace” protest in the late 60's, this video is certainly something different from your run-of-the-mill execution.

[Video] Childish Gambino: "Pound Cake Freestyle"
Merely hours before releasing his newest single "Worldstar", Childish Gambino's "Pound Cake" freestyle surfaced on the internet through the popular Sway In The Morning show. The multi-talented artist had stopped by the Shade 45 offices earlier this week and held it down while rapping over Drake's collaborative track with Jay-Z. CG gave a very personal and thoughtful verse on money, fame and depression while providing his unique flow on the popular instrumental. Check it out below.

Childish Gambino: "Worldstar"
Childish Gambino is warming up for his latest release, Because The Internet, due out on December 10. Earlier this week he released "3005" and today dropped "Worldstar," itself an obvious play at the notorious hip-hop website and rife with the sort of shouting and catcalls that can be expected from a visit to the site. Check out Mr. Glover's latest here below and also peep the interview he did recently on The Breakfast Club where he addresses rumors he's suicidal, Drake and Kanye.
Childish Gambino: "3005"
Donald Glover, better knwon to some of the world as Childish Gambino, dropped a new song today from his upcoming project, Because The Internet, due out later this year. The track is produced by Chicago's own Stefan Ponce, as well as Glover and Ludovin (Ludwig Goransson). Check it out below and keep it posted for more to come from Childish Gambino.
Donald Glover opens up about Community, Childish Gambino
Donald Glover has had an illustrious entertainment career since he gained attention through the YouTube comedy troupe, Derrick Comedy. Since 2006, Glover has gone on to write for 30 Rock, wrote/produced his Mystery Team, starred in Community, and attained recognition for his rap ability under the moniker Childish Gambino with Culdesac, Camp, and the many mixtapes and EPs he's dropped in between.
However, as any artist or creative type will tell you, our doubts and fears can sometimes be overwhelming. In a series of Instagram posts, Glover shared some of his thoughts and fears, including his decision to leave Community, his relationship, the problems he's facing over Because the Internet and his label, Glassnote Records, and more. Most of the personal fears are thoughts most everybody has felt while in a relationship. In regards to Community, considering the mistreatment the show has faced from NBC, I can't really blame him for wanting to move on. As for his issues with Glassnote Records, it's a common problem most aspiring musicians run into when money and executives enter the mix. You can see the IG photos in the gallery below.
Sometimes, it's good to open up about such things. In Glover's case, his honesty and openness has been what separates Childish Gambino from most other rappers. Barring any problems, we'll be able to listen to Because the Internet by the end of the year and watch Glover's return to TV on Atlanta next year.
