It's not everyday you come across a Kenyan Swedish soul pop singer, but you'll find her in the form of Beldina Malaika . A few years back, listening to Childish Gambino 's EP , I was struck by the backing vocals on "Not Going Back". A few Google searches let me know they were from somebody called Beldina Malaika , and off to her YouTube video channel I went to start perusing her various uploads. Her videos were a mix of live recordings, studio sessions, acoustic radio gigs, new material and covers, and I was [...]
A few days ago I had a friend tell me that he didn't like the "more street" Childish Gambino . Of course, I defended Donald to no limit, but part of me agreed with my friend. As Gambino tries harder and harder to prove that he is a legitimate rapper, he almost moves farther and farther away from what drew me to him originally, and I do think he found the middle ground on Royalty with songs like "Shoulda Known" and "Won't Stop," which gives me tons of hope for his upcoming album. [...]
It's been a while, months even, since we've heard anything new from Childish Gambino. Well here he is, jumping on the latest installment of Alan Wilkis' PRINTS series (remember his stellar collaboration with The KickDrums?) Wilkis handles the production and sings on the chorus, and Mr. Glover contributes two original ... Read More
Aside from being one of the most technically proficient rappers coming up in the game, what makes Chance The Rapper great is his willingness to collaborate. Before Acid Rap he would do features with nearly anyone, which I think is a great quality in a young artist. His guest verses have helped rising Chicago artists, such as Alex Wiley , Kids These Days , and Milo & Otis , get their rightful notice, as well as helped Chance expand [...]

Chance the Rapper , Chicago MC and SaveMoney crew member dropped Acid Rap back in April and has been in heavy rotation in my cd deck. It took me about a week from the time I downloaded the mixtape to actually put it on a cd. I heard a couple of tracks from his 10 Day mixtape (crafted while on a 10 day suspension from school) and some videos here and there featuring him and other young Chi-town MC's but I hadn't made up my mind on him yet. My initial thoughts where "he's cool, I don't know [...]

Didn't see this coming, did you? Childish Gambino adds his verse for a remix of Dro's FDB (F*ck That B*tch). There might also be more Gambino verses where that came from since the rapper/actor deleted all his tweets a few days ago. And from what we've learned from Yeezy, rappers only clean house when they've got something cooking in the kitchen. Props: Info
Like what you see, see what you like? The above portrait of half-naked Sporty Spice's comes complimentary of DJ Reflex with his new single Body So Tight . Featuring the dynamic delivery of Childish Gambino , the hip-hop/trap hybrid will live on the Roc Nation DJ's upcoming and currently untitled EP. Reflex has been one of the most influential artists in the L.A. music scene for nearly a decade now. As a tastemaker DJ and producer he's been associated with launching the careers of big names like Kanye West, Lady Gagaa, [...]
Roc Nations DJ Reflex drops a dope track with Childish Gambino. It's fun, catchy, and danceable. DJ Reflex is set to have an EP dropping later this year. If this song is just a preview for the rest the EP, it's definitely going to be one to be on the look out for. Hit the jump for the song.
DJ Reflex teams up with the Childish kid for the latest cut, 'Body So Tight', off his debut EP, set to drop later this year. Grab the full track below! The post DJ Reflex - Body So Tight (ft. Childish Gambino) appeared first on TAPEDECK .
You know we always love us some new Childish Gambino around here. Produced by Roc Nation's DJ Reflex , Body So Tight" is an absolute banger that is guaranteed to get you up out of your seats. Bino easily "bodies" the 808 heavy instrumental with a flow reminiscent of his verse on " Do or Die ," his collaboration with Flux Pavillion late last year. "Body So Tight" is the first single from Reflex's debut EP, due for release later this year.
It's not a coincidence that Chance the Rapper 's second mix tape, Acid Rap , starts with a song called "Good Ass Job." Chicago's hottest new rapper, born Chancellor Bennett, is a calculating presence, and a reference to the aborted title for what would become Kanye West ' s opus My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy serves as a sort of mission statement: Chance never really knew a hip-hop world without Yeezy, and so his music inhabits his hometown's most famous [...]
Three remarkable singles over the past few months have lead us to Chance the Rapper’s second mixtape, Acid Rap , which is blowing up the internet even as I write this. And for good reason: Acid Rap serves as a remarkable (if not all that surprising) showcase for a very young and very talented MC. Acid Rap does not have the appetizer sampler feel of a lot of other mixtapes, and is buffered with excellent guest vocals from the likes of Twista, Action Bronson, and (surprisingly) Chance’s mentor of sorts Childish Gambino. None of whom, [...]
As I recommended this tape to a friend of mine today, I described Chicago emcee Chance the Rapper 's style in three words: manic, expressive and creative. The young artist has been catching eyes right and left for the last six months culminating in the release of what may be one of the strongest hip-hop projects this year. From start to finish, Acid Rap takes the listener on an emotional journey uncovering both the entertaining energy of the Chance and the darker depths of his psyche. The tape features ninja favorites Action Bronson, Childish Gambino and Ab-Soul [...]
Chicago talent Chance The Rapper has seen his praise only rise since being left off this year's XXL list, not that that's a big deal, but regardless it's all been well-deserved in anticipation of today's release of Acid Rap . Chance brings one of the more unique combinations of stylings in hip hop today, and this 13-track compilation puts it all on display - highlighting his unique and comical ad-libs, soulful vocals, all over a very Chicago-esque production. Sure the tape is punctuated with highlights from Action Bronson, Ab-Soul , Childish Gambino and more, but this tape's all about Chance - [...]

Last year Chance The Rapper became an instant favorite of ours. His mixtape #10Day took us to his high school Chicago's prestigious Jones College Prep, where he got suspended for a week just before prom and graduation. But it also took us further back to young Chancellor growing up in the Windy City, finding himself as a person as well as a rapper. #AcidRap moves us further. This time into the mindset of a 20-year-old wizard with a formidable flow that can switch in an instant and an undulating voice that deftly [...]
