Childish Gambino premiered a new track earlier today on Philly’s Wired 96.5. The new track, “Shoulda Known”, will most likely appear on the soon-to-be-released (hopefully) mixtape. Stream it below and BIG thanks to The Music Ninja for bringing this to my attention.

As Childish Gambino preps the release of his latest mixtape, three new tracks have dropped this month. I’m a big fan of Mr. Glover, the actor and rapper, so i’ve been a very this month.
The first track to surface/leak is the eloquently titled “Fuck Your Blog”. The comedic track features Yung Humma and Flynt Flossy and is a direct jab at the haters that think Gambino’s hip hop flame is a fluke and undeserving.

Next up, “Unnecessary”, which features ScHoolboy Q and premiered on Funkmaster Flex, hence the bleeps and radio tags.
The last track to surface is also my favorite of the bunch. Gambino released “We Ain’t Them” personally on his twitter account, hot on the heels of a pretty major vent session. Rather than going on the offensive, like he did with “Fuck Your Blog”, he goes on the defensive with this track and raps about the direction of his hip hop career. I’m not exactly sure why he feels like he as to defend himself. He’s been my favorite hip hop artist since I first listened to the I Am Not a Rapper mixtapes and his live show is insanely good (my favorite of 2012 right now). As far as i’m concerned, we need more hip hop artists like Gambino. You can download “We Ain’t Them” here and stay tuned for more Gambino.
Here is the latest visual from Childish Gambino aka Donald Glover from NBC’s now defunct show Community. Gambino had one of our favorite records this last year and at least two track from Camp were featured on (31) Days of Good. Gambino is touring right now and I’m hoping to see him in Sac, be on the look out. Enjoy

There’s only 6 hours left in 2011 (here on the west coast at least). I’ve said it a million times, but i’ll say it one more time, 2011 was a GREAT year for music lovers. Today’s GOOD are a handful of tracks to help you ring in the New Year with a bang, including The White Panda, Alan Wilkis, some Jamie xx and Childish Gambino remix action, and since i’m up in my hometown for NYE, Chico’s very own The Make.
I truly hope you all (my 3 faithful readers) enjoyed this years edition of (31) Days of Good. I definitely left some tracks out this year and i’m positive more than a fair share went overlooked, but nobodies perfect, right? Anyways, Happy New Year!
