The Return of Childish Gambino: Donald Glover Presents

As we all know Childish Gambino is the hip hop moniker of Donald Glover, writer, actor, rapper, comedian etc., etc., etc. He has personalities enough to fill his multiple roles and doesn't seem to stop. Known to be a recluse and a stoner that only comes into the public eye when he sees fit makes any type of drop from him an event, an epic moment if you will. This time is no different.

This morning I woke up and opened up Twitter to find that Donald Glover is trending, I thought maybe he might be finally releasing the new season of Atlanta that we've been waiting on for some time. That was not the case at all. Donald Glover has always been a person that works on many things in secret, those things can be hit or miss, either way we are always excited to see what Mr. Glover has in store.

In this instance Glover is kind of a genius. The format that he has released this drop in is actually very valid way to get people to listen to the whole project. Then again if you are a person who usually just listens to various songs on an album listening to one all way through is probably more out of curiosity than desire to hear the whole thing.

Childish Gambino has opened up a web domain DonaldGloverPresents.com. When you go to the website its pretty plain and simple, you get a spread of cover art with the title over it. You press the play button and the album plays through 12 tracks on a loop no fast forward, no titles, no actual control over where it starts. One of my highlights though is his collaboration with Sleeves (I refuse to call Ariana Grande by her name since she stole my name), it truly is a track that I never knew I needed. Everything else on first listen is good, considering you can't really discern who all of the features are and you don't know the titles of the songs its a solid effort. I guess that's really all you can ask for.
