Donald Glover's alter ego: Childish Gambino
You might know him as Troy Barnes from the NBC show Community from the credits of 30 Rock (he wrote for the show with T. Fey) or you might have seen him modeling or maybe heard one of his remixes (he DJ's and produces) or maybe you've seen him on Comedy Central (also a comedian). He does all that, but wait there's more.
One of his alter music ego's is called Childish Gambino a name he got from a Wu-Tang Clan name generator...yeah they make those. And this dude can rap. He's something like a black Bo Burnham, if Bo Burnham was a hipster and could rap.
"I got the tortoise shell frames and the argyle...You wouldn't think from the things I'm fashioning, that I'd get more bush than Kim Kardashian"
AHHHHH!
His raps are a reminder that rap doesn't have to be about the ghetto struggle...everybody's got a struggle...even if it's just being the weird kid in high-school...(cue group hug)
Don't neglect to check his sick blog. It's got clothes, tunes, and other dope shit. I Am Donald.com
Let Me Dope You by Childish Gambino

His style may be suburban, but his flow he keeps it ghetto...
