"Childish Gambino, the moniker for actor Donald Glover, has joined the label as the first hip-hop Artist on the roster and is currently in the studio putting the finishing touches on the debut full length LP, CAMP, due out in early November. “There’s a tremendous sense of rock ‘n’ roll about Childish Gambino, an irreverence and an authenticity,” says Glassnote President Daniel Glass. “He fits in with our roster because he’s alternative.” Childish Gambino has emerged as one of the most exciting young talents in music. With a unique blend of hip-hop with multiple genres, combined with lyrical genius, Childish Gambino has gone from a viral cult following to a mega sensation. Spin Magazine praises, “…[his EP’s] all have showcased Glover’s fiercely clever, plugged-nose flow, which recalls both Lil Wayne’s verbal skywriting and Kanye West’s vulnerable-braggart defensiveness.” Childish Gambino has released two mixtapes,” I Am Just A Rapper” and “I Am Just A Rapper 2″ and in March 2011, Childish Gambino released an untitled EP that featured the hit “Freaks and Geeks”. Most recently, Childish Gambino wrapped the sold out I AM DONALD TOUR, played to over 10,000 people at the Bonnaroo Music Festival and is continuing to wow crowds at the travelling Rock The Bells Festival through October."Hopefully this means more publicity & material for Childish Gambino who has slowly crept up my list of favorites.
