Donald Glover aka Troy from Community aka Childish Gambino

Some of you may know him as Donald Glover through his sketch group "Derrick Comedy", others may know him as a writer for 30 Rock, whilst some of you may know him through the hit television series Community. What some don't know though is that Donald Glover is also a rapper who goes by the name of Childish Gambino. His latest album, Culdesac, was made available on July 3rd. Like all other of his releases it was a free download off his website.

Childish Gambino - Culdesac

I would also recommend checking out his other releases where he raps over indie hits such as Grizzly Bear's Two Weeks and Neon Indian's Deadbeat Summer, to name a few.

Girlfriends

And no, I'm not talking about actual girlfriends. Allow me to introduce the 1 man band of Jerry Joiner. His listed influences alone should be reason enough for you to check out his band (Daitro and Kidcrash, amongst others). His album is available through bandcamp, where you can legally download it for free, but do not hesitate to donate.

Untitled #6 Lyrics

I remember when the water here was cold.
now it's real warm when I'm tired,
staggered,
old.
these old limbs, they aren't cut out for work anymore.
so I'll claw at my bones until they work again.

I remember when the water here was cold.
now it's real warm when I'm tired,
staggered,
old.
if I were you I'd be head deep in blue.
youthful, naive you.

you get your way.
