"I Ain't Gotta Do It Big, I Just Gotta Do It Different."

Childish Gambino's new album "Culdesac" drops today! Many people might know him better as Troy on NBC's "Community", or simply as Donald Glover. His career seems to have blown up as of late, but Glover has been doing a lot far before the recent success of "Community". Glover was a writer for "30 Rock" where he was nominated for Best Comedy Series by the Writers Guild of America. He is also part of the Derrick Comedy Sketch group, starred in last years release of the amazing comedy "Mystery Team", and has also released 4 rap albums in the past 2 years.

Now I am not going to pretend to be any kind of rap critic, but everything about what Glover does just feels so fresh. It has been a long time since I have had this much fun listening to a rapper, or I should really say rap in general. His extremely clever lyrics, great flow, and unique, somewhat nerdy and carefree approach to it all truly sucks you in. It's extremely approachable on many levels, and something smart that I feel rap has been missing for a long time. This stands out in his I Am Just A Rapper albums where he takes some amazing indie songs (vocals and all) and adds a new lyrical masterpiece over them. This is a first from what I know, and there is just something super charming and fun about it. Glover brings together two very different genres and makes it work perfectly. Here is a quote that I found that I feel really hits the nail on the head for Childish Gambino:

"He has changed the game. Being street or hood is no longer a requirement. Now to be a sick MC you gotta be intelligent and clever with mad swagger and he has more than enough."
