Video: Childish Gambino – “Clapping For the Wrong Reasons” Feat. Flying lotus, Chance The Rapper, Trinidad Jame$ & more.

After teasing at such a project several weeks back  we now have the director’s cut of Childish Gambino’s 24-minute short film titled “Clapping For The Wrong Reasons” The short features  Donald himself, Chance The Rapper, Flying Lotus, Trinidad Jame$, and several other Gambino collaborators and friends . The film falls someplace in-between truth and fiction it would seem with parts functioning as a preview of sorts to new Gambino music while other moments seem to focus on scripted narrative about life, relationships, dreams and more. Things get pretty strange during the last third when Gambino pulls a tooth out of his nostril in a scene that wouldn't be out of place in a horror film. Weird stuff but well worth the watch if you are a fan and another interesting chapter from Glover’s creative repertoire.

Directed by Hiro Murai.

Listen/Download: ”Childish Gambino – “Centipede”

It’s been a minute since we heard anything new from Childish Gambino and having recently announced that he would be cutting back on acting to focus on music we get a taste of what’s to come with “Centipede.” It’s a pretty long track clocking in at six minutes but Gambino most certainly makes good use of the time production wise as the track changes in tone several times in its course. Listen to/download below…

Video: Childish Gambino - "L.E.S."

Childish Gambino released the video for Camp track “L.E.S.” The clip only see’s Gambino in a cameo like appearance and instead features images of people enjoying a night out in as the title states, New York City’s Lower East Side.

Another Throwback Thursday is here and with it some more goodies to share. This week we got nine mixtapes for you to download for absolutely free, that’s right count em’  that’s  one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine!  While we have shared plenty of music from Donald Glover under his hip hop moniker, Childish Gambino, we haven’t really discussed his DJ alter ego, mcDJ. Keep in mind that this isn’t unreleased or remixed Childish Gambino material, these are DJ mix’s that Donald has put together over the years that jump between a variety of music from rap to rock to electronic to indie and more, showcasing a different side of the talented Renaissance man.  If you don’t have some of these or even any of them well you are all caught up now because to my knowledge these are all of them.

Video: Childish Gambino – “Firefly”

Childish Gambino returns to his commercial release Camp for his latest video “Fire Fly.” Donald himself only makes an indirect appearance in the video instead enlisting actors to portray the narrative which has got a 90’s action vibe to it ala Hackers.
