The hip hop album of the year” NME 

“Gambino’s flows are funny, furious, obnoxious, literate and pensive by turn. A riveting album about race, class, opportunity, tribalism, love, the pitfalls of fame, comedy and “seriousness”.” – The Observer CD of the week

Childish Gambino, whose two recent sell-out London dates were among the rawest, most electrifying hip hop shows for many a year, has his brand new Glassnote/ 
Island single “Heartbeat” released on April 16th. The single is taken from Gambino’s recently released and universally acclaimed first album proper “CAMP” which established the actor/comedian/writer as one of the most challenging, exciting and lyrically interesting talents to emerge in hip hop. 

“Camp” was produced by Swedish composer and long-time collaborator Ludwig Göransson, and the 13 tracks also include “Bonfire”, “Backpackers”, “L.E.S.”, and standout closer “That Power”. 



Born Donald Glover, Childish Gambino got his hip hop name from the Wu-tang name generator, but is best known in the US as an actor starring in the NBC hit show “Community” alongside Chevy Chase. Glover has also recently been lauded by Rolling Stone as one of America’s best young comedians and on his recent sell-out I AM DONALD TOUR played to over 10,000.

Childish Gambino has released two mixtapes, “I Am Just A Rapper” and “I Am Just A Rapper 2”, and in 2010 released his first full length original
