[Video] Childish Gambino: "I'd Die Without You" Live on BBC 1Xtra

Since dropping his latest album, Because The Internet, Childish Gambino has been everywhere, on seemingly every late night and morning talk show as he helps push the project. The other day, he stopped by BBC 1Xtra to do a live rendition of P.M. Dawn's song, "I'd Die Without You", giving it his own flair in the process, showing off his non-rap vocals for a change of pace. Check out the full video of the performance, streaming below.

Sampha Premieres "Courtesy" on BBC1

Sampha, who took off from where he was last year by linking up with Drake, yesterday stopped by BBC Radio1 to debut his latest song, "Courtesy" as part of a 28-minute mix he did for the station. The song comes in at the 19:50 mark of the player below and is a soulful, instrumental affair, stripped down to Sampha and the keys as he croons over the melodic arrangement. Recorded live at Maida Vale with Benji B, the track is a furtherance of the more soulful side of Sampha since his days working in a more up-tempo atmosphere as part of SBTRKT. One thing is for sure, we should be seeing plenty of him for awhile to come.
