Childish Gambino dropped track #3, “Silk Pillow,” off his upcoming still-untitled mixtape. Like always, CG brings his best to the track but this time “Silk Pillow” offers a special surprise, singer Beck spitting some bars. With ScHoolboy Q and Heems featured on recently released tracks, Childish Gambino’s project is shaping up to be a great one. Listen and download below.

Childish Gambino consistently keeps feeding us with new music and for today’s track “Tell Me,” Gambino trades off verses with Heems (of Das Racist) over a soulful sample. Radio rip for now but they were light on the tags. The comedian/rapper’s mixtape is due very soon.

I had no idea ninja restaurants existed. Rya Backer and Childish Gambino taught me something new today. Feel fry to spy in on their first date in the video above.
I’ve come to the conclusion that writing shit here is pointless for most videos. They’re self explanatory and you guys don’t give a shit what’s written here.
This must have been recorded yesterday. I heard a Diggy/J. Cole reference (as of press time, Janice has yet to listen to Diggy’s diss to Cole). New music from Childish Gambino. Not a bad way to start off your week.

Donald Glover, known to the rap world as Childish Gambino, chopped it up with LA radio/TV personality Mando Fresko and discussed his debut album, Drake, the use of humor in hip-hop and more. Did you know there’s a sigh in sign language for the word “niglet?’ You really learn something new everyday.
Part 2 drops tomorrow.
After three free albums and a few mixtapes, Childish Gambino, also known by his real name Donald Glover (NBC’s Community), is ready to share with the world his first commercial release, Camp. NPR highly suggests you open up a tab for Wikipedia and Urban Dictionary as you listen to the project because his lyrics are “so dense with analogies and comedic references that you’ll need those reference guides to decode some of his verses.” Get your tabs ready and click on the link below to stream the album.
By the way, did you know Donald Glover got his rap alias “Childish Gambino” from an online “Wu-Tang Clan name generator?” Haha, the things I learn on NPR. Pre-order Camp on iTunes.

I had to miss RTB this year but thank God for the internet and video cameras. Here’s Childish Gambino (also known as Donald Glover) rockin’ the stage at this year’s Rock The Bells. “Freaks and Geeks” will forever be a favorite. I need to catch one of his performances ASAP.

Taylor of Hip Hop Update interviews the ultra-talented Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino after his IAMDONALD show in Los Angeles on April 27th, 2011, where he talks about music, comedy, what’s next, Odd Future, and The Weekend (sorry, it’s actually spelled Weeknd).
Childish Gambino will be releasing an LP soon. Great news. Still bummed I missed this show though. Grr.
