• It's On
• Childish Gambino - Got This Money

Childish Gambino fans were given a taste of what is to come during a performance of his first single “ Bonfire ” during Comic Con. The song has a definite “Freaks and Geeks” vibe and showcases his genre defying lyricism (i.e dropping an Invader Zim reference.) If the rest of his upcoming album Camp is on par with this song, he will continue to climb towards the upper echelon of rap.

While most of the beat is hard to make out, Gambino's clever punchlines are clear [...]

Childish Gambino aka Donald Glover performed at 2011 's Comic-Con in San Diego, CA over the weekend.

"'Man, why does every black actor have to rap some?' I dunno, all I know is I'm the best one." Quite a claim from Donald Glover who has been making waves with his mixtapes as Childish Gambino, but has yet to release a full album. This is something that he will soon be rectifying since, as he explains at the start of this video, he has been hard at work on his debut.
