Childish Gambino - Culdesac

We told you about Childish Gambino's first ever concert... so it's your own fault for not being one of the 150ish people squeezed into The Creek and The Cave the other night. I posted a video for those of you that couldn't make it. Childish Gambin's new album 'Culdesac' dropped yesterday, just in time for the 4th. It's free, so there is no reason you don't download it. It's an hour of fresh beats, honest lyrics, and an overall 'I don't give a fuck, I'm gonna do me' attitude.' If you heard the first two indie/rap mixtapes, then you will have an idea of what Donald likes to rap about. He really brings it for 'Culdesac', each track is so different then the other. He isn't afraid to go from hard hitting spitting over a punchy beat to slowing things down and actually using his talented singing voice.

'Culdesac' is about making connections. Donald is the coolest mother fucker around, but it wasn't always like that. He was a 'white' black kid, someone who didn't fit in with the others that he went to school with. Those kids didn't know who he was so they made fun of him to try and label Donald. This is something relate-able to a lot of people and it's a theme throughout the album. He also talks about making it big and how now allllll of his people want to be best buds with him, he even gives a shout out to his inspiration Tina Fey.

The track 'I Got This Money' is a summer anthem, it should be played at every party. The lyrics to 'So Fly' are catchy as fuck. And Donald says it best on 'You Know Me', 'You people just realizing that I'm awesome why'd it take so long...skip around the album it's not hard to find your favorite song.' Do yourself a favor go and download this album. It's for freeeeeeee, and you can get it at http://www.culdesac-album.com/ you will not be disappointed. You should also do yourself a favor and model yourself after Donald Glover...he is blowing up right now.
