Donald Glover Impromptu Show in Boise, Idaho

Donald Glover is currently on tour doing stand up and performing as his alter rapping ego, Childish Gambino.

He was bored and tweeted that he was going to do an impromptu show at Chandler's Steakhouse in Boise. Here's a youtube vid of him performing Bitch, Look at Me Now (with some freestyling) and Not Going Back.

DJ Steve Porter's Community Trailer

You might of heard DJ Steve Porter's youtube tracks when he did Press Hop 1 or 2. Or even the Slapchop commerical remix. Well he just did a track for the new upcoming season of one of my favorite shows, "Community." Season 1 DVD just came out and if you haven't seen Community, it's definitely worth checking out. The cast includes The Soup's Joel Mchale, all around talent Donald Glover, the underrated Danni Pudi, a top 5 Dro Report personal favorite Alison Brie (who I've mentioned many times before that she's a personal favorite) and comedic vet Chevy Chase among many others.

Here's his trailer remix below.



Also included, his first remix of Troy and Abed's "La Biblioteca"

3rd Album - Childish Gambino - Culdusac

The 3rd album I can't stop listening to this month is Childish Gambino's Culdesac. I'm pretty sure most if not all of you have not even heard of him. If I told you his real name is Donald Glover, then maybe a few of you would know. If I told you he was the black guy from "Community" then maybe most of you would know who I'm talking about. Anyway, I came across this article from the LA Times about him and his success with writing for Tina Fey on "30 Rock," along with his "Community" success (which along with "Modern Family," the best two new comedies that debuted last year) and his up and coming stand-up comedian career.

In this article, it describes how he wanted to try rapping and his fellow co-stars Gillian Jacobs and Alison Brie (one of my personal faves) persuaded him to pursue it and he did. He released a couple of mix tapes early this year and last year but I decided to download his new album Culdesac. Glover, uh Childish Gambino, uses clever lyrics over some sweet beats and I can go through the whole album without skipping a song. I think it blends in and flows very well. Sure his voice is a little whiny or high pitched, but I think the overall word play and easy to nod beats are good enough to over come it.

You can download or stream all of Culdesac here.

Also, he got the name Childish Gambino by plugging his name into the Wu-Tang Name Generator. Try it yourself.
