Following the surprise release of his untitled album last week, just 12 hours later Donald Glover removed it from his streaming website.

The wait is finally over as on Sunday Glover officially released the album 3.15.20 onto streaming services.

3.15.20 is under the names Donald Glover and his alter-ego Childish Gambino and the album’s sequence is the same as it was on his streaming website, but it starts with what was assumed to be track 6.

We mentioned in an article last week that the album features Ariana Grande, 21 Savage, and Khadja Bonet.

Only two of the tracks have titles, “Algorhythm” and “Time,” and the rest of the songs are the times of their point in the sequence like a YouTube video. The album also has no official artwork, but Glover posed in a domestic scene with his two sons who are wearing Spiderman mask for a press photo for 3.15.20.

Donald Glover gave fans a welcomed distraction in the midst of all the hysteria surrounding the coronavirus.

Sunday morning Glover released a surprise album titled Donald Glover Presents on his website featuring Ariana Grande, 21 Savage, and SZA.

The 12-track album isn’t available for streaming services, but it can be listed on the singer’s website. The website has a four-panel illustration reminiscent of Glover’s video for his 2018 Grammy-winning song This Is America—there’s a crowd of people in the middle of a riot with some people panicked while other seem excited.

After the release of his last album Awaken, My Love! in 2016, Glover said it would be his final one under his alter-ego, Childish Gambino. Since 2005, Glover has released three full-length albums and several mixtapes as Childish Gambino.

Although there’s been no official song title list revealed, the presumed tracklist includes:

  1. Intro (Warlords)
  2. Little Foot Big Foot
  3. Why Go To the Party
  4. Feels Like Summer
  5. Don’t Worry About Tomorrow (The Violence)
  6. Under the Sun
  7. We Are (Interlude)
  8. Algorythm
  9. Time (Ft. Ariana Grande)
  10. Vibrate (Ft. 21 Savage & SZA)
  11. To Be Beautiful
  12. Sweet Thing / Thank You

Update: 12 hours after the album was dropped online, it’s been removed from the website. As of now, there’s no further information available, but we’re hopeful Donald Glover Presents will be released soon.

Disney fans had a lot to celebrate this Thanksgiving since the studio gave them the best present they could ever wish for – the first teaser for the upcoming live-action re-imagining of animated classic The Lion King.

The short clip doesn’t reveal much, but it’s still giving us all the feels, since it’s the perfect homage to the original. It features several epic moments, including the legendary scene of Rafiki introducing baby Simba to the kingdom on Pride Rock.

Nostalgia will overtake you as soon as you hear James Earl Jones repeating his iconic quote “Everything the light touches is our kingdom. But a king’s time as ruler rises and falls like the sun.” and stay with you long after the teaser is over.

Jones is the only actor from the original version of The Lion King who’s part of the new cast. Donald Glover, Beyoncé, Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner, and Chiwetel Ejiofor will be in charge of voicing some of our favorite character in this promising remake.

Hans Zimmer and Elton John will also return to their respective roles as composer and songwriter. Jon Favreau, who previously directed the live-action version of The Jungle Book, is in charge of bringing Simba’s story to life. The Lion King will hit the theaters just in time for the 25th anniversary of the original – July 19, 2019.

Childish Gambino surprised us with one of the most controversial music videos of the year with “This Is America”, and he gave us something to talk about once again. The video for “Feels Like Summer” is finally here, and it’s filled with hilarious references to the modern hip-hop scene.

The animated video proved to be a perfect choice since it allowed him to put everyone he wanted inside. It starts with Donald Glovers aka Childish Gambino strolling through a neighborhood jam-packed with talent.

As the summertime sun blazes down and his favorite song plays through the headphones, the rapper casually checks out all the drama that takes place along the way.

Each scene in “Feels Like Summer” is a clear reference to a real-life event. Some of the most notable scenes include Michelle Obama comforting Kanye West and Travis Scott knocking down a tower of building blocks that Nicki Minaj put together.

The list of celebrity cameos in this video is pretty much endless. It includes everyone from A$AP Rocky and Solange to Drake and Pusha T. It’s a perfect way to wrap this summer up… By watching a full recap of the happenings in the music industry that took place in the last few months.

Donald Glover is set to make his Saturday Night Live debut on May 5. 

The announcement was made by SNL with a title card during the April 14 episode hosted by John Mulaney. 

The Atlanta star has landed the gig as host of the skit show as well as its musical guest as he is also a rapper by the name of Childish Gambino. 

This duo role doesn’t happen often and Glover joins the few who pulled double duty on the NBC late night comedy series. The short list includes Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Justin Timberlake, Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Drake, Blake Shelton and Ariana Grande.

Glover worked in the past with the SNL alum, Tina Fey as a writer on her show 30 Rock. His most recent album as Childish Gambino was released in 2016 and earned two Grammy nominations. 

You can see Glover next as Lando Calrissian in Solo: A Star Wars Story and as Simba in a new imagining of Disney’s The Lion King.

Finally a premiere date for season two of Atlanta has been revealed.

After debuting in 2016, fans taste for another season has been insatiable. After a long wait due to Donald Glover’s portrayal of Lando Calrissian in Lucasfilm’s blockbuster hit Solo:A Star Wars Story, season two is finally ready to go and will premiere March 1st.

Another interesting reveal is that FX decided that the second season of the series will be titled Atlanta Robbin’ Season.

Executive producer Stephen Glover spoke to Variety at the cabler’s Television Critics Association press tour event about the upcoming 11 episode second season saying, “What we liked about Season 1, and what we got right, was we wanted to make it so each episode, you didn’t know what you were going to get. We wanted to keep people off-balance about what type of show it was, and we’re going to do more of that this season.”

Inspired by episodes of Tiny Toon Adventures’ “How I Spent My Summer Vacation” episodes, the second season will feature a very dangerous, uncertain time in the city. So everybody’s shaken up a little bit this year, and everybody has to make important decisions,” Stephen said and added that “Robbin’ Season is kind of like a metaphor for all of our characters.”

I want them to know that sometimes when you’re acting, you get a chance to bring a bigger message, and this is their contribution and your contribution,” she said. “We shone a light on domestic abuse.

Following the surprise release of his untitled album last week, just 12 hours later Donald Glover removed it from his streaming website.

The wait is finally over as on Sunday Glover officially released the album 3.15.20 onto streaming services.

3.15.20 is under the names Donald Glover and his alter-ego Childish Gambino and the album’s sequence is the same as it was on his streaming website, but it starts with what was assumed to be track 6.

We mentioned in an article last week that the album features Ariana Grande, 21 Savage, and Khadja Bonet.

Only two of the tracks have titles, “Algorhythm” and “Time,” and the rest of the songs are the times of their point in the sequence like a YouTube video. The album also has no official artwork, but Glover posed in a domestic scene with his two sons who are wearing Spiderman mask for a press photo for 3.15.20.

Donald Glover gave fans a welcomed distraction in the midst of all the hysteria surrounding the coronavirus.

Sunday morning Glover released a surprise album titled Donald Glover Presents on his website featuring Ariana Grande, 21 Savage, and SZA.

The 12-track album isn’t available for streaming services, but it can be listed on the singer’s website. The website has a four-panel illustration reminiscent of Glover’s video for his 2018 Grammy-winning song This Is America—there’s a crowd of people in the middle of a riot with some people panicked while other seem excited.

After the release of his last album Awaken, My Love! in 2016, Glover said it would be his final one under his alter-ego, Childish Gambino. Since 2005, Glover has released three full-length albums and several mixtapes as Childish Gambino.

Although there’s been no official song title list revealed, the presumed tracklist includes:

  1. Intro (Warlords)
  2. Little Foot Big Foot
  3. Why Go To the Party
  4. Feels Like Summer
  5. Don’t Worry About Tomorrow (The Violence)
  6. Under the Sun
  7. We Are (Interlude)
  8. Algorythm
  9. Time (Ft. Ariana Grande)
  10. Vibrate (Ft. 21 Savage & SZA)
  11. To Be Beautiful
  12. Sweet Thing / Thank You

Update: 12 hours after the album was dropped online, it’s been removed from the website. As of now, there’s no further information available, but we’re hopeful Donald Glover Presents will be released soon.

Donald Glover AKA Childish Gambino surprised us with one of the most groundbreaking, candid and innovative songs of 2018, and the Grammy voters recognized his visionary work with a total of four awards at last night’s ceremony.

Disney fans had a lot to celebrate this Thanksgiving since the studio gave them the best present they could ever wish for – the first teaser for the upcoming live-action re-imagining of animated classic The Lion King.

The short clip doesn’t reveal much, but it’s still giving us all the feels, since it’s the perfect homage to the original. It features several epic moments, including the legendary scene of Rafiki introducing baby Simba to the kingdom on Pride Rock.

Nostalgia will overtake you as soon as you hear James Earl Jones repeating his iconic quote “Everything the light touches is our kingdom. But a king’s time as ruler rises and falls like the sun.” and stay with you long after the teaser is over.

Jones is the only actor from the original version of The Lion King who’s part of the new cast. Donald Glover, Beyoncé, Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner, and Chiwetel Ejiofor will be in charge of voicing some of our favorite character in this promising remake.

Hans Zimmer and Elton John will also return to their respective roles as composer and songwriter. Jon Favreau, who previously directed the live-action version of The Jungle Book, is in charge of bringing Simba’s story to life. The Lion King will hit the theaters just in time for the 25th anniversary of the original – July 19, 2019.

Childish Gambino surprised us with one of the most controversial music videos of the year with “This Is America”, and he gave us something to talk about once again. The video for “Feels Like Summer” is finally here, and it’s filled with hilarious references to the modern hip-hop scene.

The animated video proved to be a perfect choice since it allowed him to put everyone he wanted inside. It starts with Donald Glovers aka Childish Gambino strolling through a neighborhood jam-packed with talent.

As the summertime sun blazes down and his favorite song plays through the headphones, the rapper casually checks out all the drama that takes place along the way.

Each scene in “Feels Like Summer” is a clear reference to a real-life event. Some of the most notable scenes include Michelle Obama comforting Kanye West and Travis Scott knocking down a tower of building blocks that Nicki Minaj put together.

The list of celebrity cameos in this video is pretty much endless. It includes everyone from A$AP Rocky and Solange to Drake and Pusha T. It’s a perfect way to wrap this summer up… By watching a full recap of the happenings in the music industry that took place in the last few months.

Donald Glover is set to make his Saturday Night Live debut on May 5. 

The announcement was made by SNL with a title card during the April 14 episode hosted by John Mulaney. 

The Atlanta star has landed the gig as host of the skit show as well as its musical guest as he is also a rapper by the name of Childish Gambino. 

This duo role doesn’t happen often and Glover joins the few who pulled double duty on the NBC late night comedy series. The short list includes Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Justin Timberlake, Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Drake, Blake Shelton and Ariana Grande.

Glover worked in the past with the SNL alum, Tina Fey as a writer on her show 30 Rock. His most recent album as Childish Gambino was released in 2016 and earned two Grammy nominations. 

You can see Glover next as Lando Calrissian in Solo: A Star Wars Story and as Simba in a new imagining of Disney’s The Lion King.

Finally a premiere date for season two of Atlanta has been revealed.

After debuting in 2016, fans taste for another season has been insatiable. After a long wait due to Donald Glover’s portrayal of Lando Calrissian in Lucasfilm’s blockbuster hit Solo:A Star Wars Story, season two is finally ready to go and will premiere March 1st.

Another interesting reveal is that FX decided that the second season of the series will be titled Atlanta Robbin’ Season.

Executive producer Stephen Glover spoke to Variety at the cabler’s Television Critics Association press tour event about the upcoming 11 episode second season saying, “What we liked about Season 1, and what we got right, was we wanted to make it so each episode, you didn’t know what you were going to get. We wanted to keep people off-balance about what type of show it was, and we’re going to do more of that this season.”

Inspired by episodes of Tiny Toon Adventures’ “How I Spent My Summer Vacation” episodes, the second season will feature a very dangerous, uncertain time in the city. So everybody’s shaken up a little bit this year, and everybody has to make important decisions,” Stephen said and added that “Robbin’ Season is kind of like a metaphor for all of our characters.”

I want them to know that sometimes when you’re acting, you get a chance to bring a bigger message, and this is their contribution and your contribution,” she said. “We shone a light on domestic abuse.
