I know its been a while since my first Monday Mix post and this, technically, isn’t one, but its close. Over the weekend, one of my favorite DJs right now and my future wife (although she might not know it yet), DJ SOSUPERSAM, released a new mixtape for us to listen to. This one is almost a complete 180 from the last one which revolved around love songs, but its just as good. Featuring some of the [Read More]
As Donald Glover said, his #ROYALTY mixtape dropped today on our nation’s Independence Day. This new Childish Gambino mixtape had been hinted at for months, with tracks leaking and dropping on the radio every now and then. Some of the tracks that were already leaked were Unnecessary, Shoulda Known, Black Faces, Silk Pillow, and some other songs that didn’t make the mixtape. This mixtape, unlike his others and his album, is feature-heavy and man, are the features [Read More]
I’ve always wondered what happened to Danny Brown‘s teeth. Who’s Danny Brown? Danny Brown is the new face of fashion designer, Mark McNairy. Oh, and he’s also an up and coming rapper being cosigned by the likes of Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino and also on XXL‘s Freshmen list for 2012. I haven’t really gotten into this guy’s music, but man is he a face you won’t forget. He’s definitely an interesting looking character, mainly his teeth. [Read More]
Yesterday, Childish Gambino performed a “secret” show, of sorts, somewhere in Los Angeles, in some kind of warehouse/loft in downtown. Lucky for the rest of us, the performance was streamed on YouTube. Yesterday, I think around 5PM it was streamed on the 5 Gum channel. 5 Gum has been sponsoring a lot of dope stream lately, kind of random, but cool. He performed most of his biggest hits both off his mixtapes and his album, but he [Read More]
If you guys have been following my blog, you know that I’m a huge fan of Donald Glover in both film and music. Whenever I see his music pop up on the internets, I tend to try to listen to it right away. Its rare to see him as a feature, but it has happened a couple times. Usually the feature tracks aren’t so great, but this new track by newcomer Josh Osho is pretty darn catchy. [Read More]
Honestly, I just wanted an excuse to post a picture of my future wife, but I guess I can post some news about her too. DJ Sosupersam has just announced that she will be touring with Childish Gambino aka Donald Glover and Danny Brown on their recent CAMP Tour. Sosupersam will be playing a little opening set before each show. If you guys haven’t seen here, she’s an amazing DJ. You will fall in love. Guaranteed. I [Read More]
After a short teaser that dropped a few days ago, Childish Gambino finally dropped the video for his hit single, Heartbeat. Like his video for Bonfire, the video for Heartbeat seems to be telling a ambiguous story of sorts that either needs to be really looked into to be made sense of or it just was not supposed to make any sense at all. Its a dope video, simple shots and a, kind of, simple story. According [Read More]
A couple months ago, I was given the opportunity to cover the shows of one of my favorite artists right now, Childish Gambino. My co-worker and I got press passes to take photos and video of his show at Club Nokia in L.A. Live. After some back and forth with his label, I was able to also get an interview with him as well. Of course, I freaked out a little bit on the inside (like a [Read More]
One of the coolest things that I got to do this past year was cover a concert and conduct an interview with the artist after. On a whim, I decided to see if I could get press passes for a concert that I was going to anyways. Turns out, through work, I did. Quickly, I got some contacts and tried to see if I could also get an interview, along with photo and video coverage of the [Read More]
