The debut LP from comedian Donald Glover’s hip-hop alter ego Childish Cambino, Camp, is due out November 15th via Glassnote Records. The album’s lead single, “Bonfire”, debuted back in September and just yesterday, Mr. Glover dropped the video for “Bonfire”, which is a bit creepier than his video for “Freaks and Geeks” (to say the least). Anyways, enjoy the video below and stay tuned for more Camp news.

If you’ve been following this hear blog since it’s humble beginnings, you already know how big of a Childish Gambino fan I am. Bonfire is yet another fantastic offering and I can’t wait to hear more. Rumor has it that Camp will be released November 15th, but this has yet to be confirmed.

2011 is more than half-way through and in a mere seven months, a boat-load of fantastic new music has hit the airwaves (we’ve also survived yet another prophesied apocalypse…not too shabby plant earth).
Anyways, I did this last Summer and it was fun to look back and see what albums held up when “Best of” season was full effect. So without further ado, I’m pleased to present my favorite albums of 2011 (so far) and be sure to check back in on December 15th to see if any of these picks make my Top 10.

No joke, I could probably devote this blog exclusively to covering Childish Gambino and posts would be more consistent and abundant.
Hot on the heels of his last offering (The Longest Text Message), Mr. Gambino (aka Donald Glover, aka The Hardest Working Person in Show Biz) just dropped yet another brand new track, Break (All Of The Lights). Originally a Kanye track, Gambino makes it his own covering all the music, singing the Rhianna hook, and contributing some solid flows. I for one like this more than the original, but i’m not the biggest Kanye fan. Give the track a listen and let me know what you think.
Childish Gambino just dropped a brand new track, The Longest Text Message (free download, grab it now), and posted it to his SoundCloud page. No surprise here, but I love this track. To be honest, I don’t think there’s a track by him that I haven’t loved.
