Of the original pieces, thereвЂ™s the boom-bap crunch of вЂNo Fucks GivenвЂ™ where Gambino reiterates in his now-trademark rap/singing style what he believes is the point of the project: вЂњI came here to do my own shit / No fucks givenвЂќ. вЂњ IвЂ™m the man of the hourвЂ¦ God damn, I'm just being who I am / From that weird-ass little kid to this ballin' ass grown manвЂќ, he boasts on вЂPartna DemвЂ™ though perhaps not all that convincingly. Opening trio-within-one-song вЂDream / Southern Hospitality / Partna DemвЂ™ uses samples from Atlanta artists Gambino firstly delivering a spoken monologue about what heвЂ™d do if he was вЂњ running AtlantaвЂќ (heвЂ™d give strippers MotherвЂ™s Day off, FYI) before firing off attack-lines on вЂSouthern HospitalityвЂ™ that suggest he still hasnвЂ™t shaken off the Camp-era haters: вЂњ I seen what you make, yeah them shows sold out / But you doing clubs and I'm doing like all out, things / вЂWhy the hell he rapping if he all-out sings?вЂ™вЂќ Still with that persistent bee in his bonnet, itвЂ™s evidently fuelling the creative fire whenever Glover dons the Gambino mask. But the rawness required to succeed in this instance is generally there on this 11-track mixtape: many of the samples, true to mixtape custom, are unlicensed, whilst Glover generally exhibits a playful recklessness in his raps any lapses in braggadocio are made up for by the presence of loudmouth hypeman DJ Drama. For a place that nurtured Outkast, Killer Mike, and, er, Lil Jon, GloverвЂ™s place on such a boisterous roster might seem ill-fitting on first glance. Named after the Atlanta suburb he grew up in, STN MTN is ostensibly an effort to heighten GloverвЂ™s standing as one of major players to come out of the hip-hop rich city. Although a joint release, letвЂ™s split up this Yin and Yang creation.

You canвЂ™t fault GloverвЂ™s vision and ambition, but such output still felt more like pieces of a puzzle rather than the finishing brushstrokes of a masterpiece.ДЄnd so two weeks ago the latest chapter in the Gambino narrative dropped, which took two forms: the thoroughly hip-hop mixtape STN MTN (available for free download) and the smoother, hip-pop grooves of EP Kauai (available to buy on iTunes). Indeed, because the internet was presented as a part of an even bigger project that would also incorporate an as-yet-unreleased film (its interactive script-of-sorts can be easily located) about a wealthy, sketched-out teen (вЂThe BoyвЂ™) whose existence is almost entirely played out on various social networking mediums. The last two вЂ“ 2012 mixtape R O Y A L T Y (which boasted guest spots from RZA, Chance The Rapper, and Beck) and last yearвЂ™s album because the internet вЂ“ saw Glover moving away from an ultra-defensive, hashtag-rap agenda to indulge in heavily-meta braggadocio and convoluted takes on the salient might of the World Wide Web. Active since 2008, prior to this month heвЂ™d released six mixtapes, two studio albums, and one EP вЂ“ a smorgasbord of productivity thatвЂ™s demonstrated incremental progress with the passing of each work.

Having eschewed all else in the past 12 months to focus solely on his Childish Gambino project, chances are that youвЂ™ll have come across his hip-pop moniker at some point: a derisory Pitchfork review here, an Instagrammed series of revealing handwritten notes there, a compelling вЂPound CakeвЂ™ freestyle everywhere.ДЄnd this emphasis on music is paying dividends: amongst the Tumblr-baiting, Troy-worshipping throng is an increasing number of admirers who are becoming acutely aware of how potent a force Glover is becoming in his Gambino guise. Pop culture chameleon Donald Glover вЂ“ beloved former star of Community and intermittent stand-up comic who started out as a member of the вЂBro RapeвЂ™ sketch troupe Derrick Comedy вЂ“ is undoubtedly a super-talented dude.
