Born 1983, Donald Glover, known by his stage name, Childish Gambino, is an American comedian, writer, actor, and rapper. He has been around since around 2002, has appeared on several TV shows (30 Rock, Sesame Street, Community) and helped write for them as well. Childish Gambino has been in a few films, but he is also a world-renowned music artist. He recently released a new album — Because the Internet.

The first track is “Crawl,” and you can definitely hear Gambino’s rapping and vocal talent in this song. The song is definitely a good start to the album, however the second song, titled “Worldstar,” is a bit choppy and strange. The mash-up of beats doesn’t really fit together and does not showcase Gambino’s singing skills. It is a lot more electronic and a lot worse than the first song. The third song, “Dial Up,” is really just a transition song, so there’s not much to see there.

The fourth track, “The Worst Guys,” is significantly better and features Chance the Rapper. It is a lot calmer and has a better rhythm and better vocals than “Worldstar.” The fifth song is called “Shadow,” and starts of with Gambino singing with his buttery voice before rapping. This song is one of my favorites from the album, because of its beat (not too fast, not too slow, and extremely hip-hop oriented) and the amazing vocals Gambino demonstrates.

The sixth and seventh songs are “Telegraph Ave” and “Sweatpants.” Both songs are just as good as “The Worst Guys” and “Crawl,” and are just as good as the rest of the album. “Sweatpants” (featuring JANKINS) is more similar to most rap songs, with a deliberate beat and a decent amount of expletives. But, the song gave Gambino a good chance to show off his rap skills, whereas “Telegraph Ave” was a better way for him to display his singing talent.

The song “3005” is one of his more popular tracks, and already has a video out on Glover’s main channel. “3005” is a mix of both his rap and singing abilities and is definitely just as good as the rest of the tracks. “Playing Around Before the Party” is merely a transition song, and both “The Party” and “No Exit” are good endings to a great album.
