Childish Gambino “Heartbeat” Video Premiere

Donald Glover aliased Childish Gambino released his second and probably his last video off his debut studio album, Camp. Fortunately for the Glassnote signee his debut album performed considerably well by debuting at the number 11 on the Billboard 200 and selling slightly over 100k copies up to date.

While “Bonfire” was a breeding ground for controversy, “Heartbeat” takes on a more subtle subject relating to Love and her descendants.

This, unlike his previous, does not exude a hip hop sound but instead fires off a uptempo and gyrating melody lightly resembling that of Electronica. The lyrics, although somewhat suggestive, are well written in a general sense and definitely carries the story. Also included is a catchy chorus which might serve as the main attraction.

Childish Gambino “Bonfire” Video Premiere

After having the opportunity of listening to some of Gambino’s best work I would safely say that this guy would be really good at free-styling. As in going against another rapper on simple beat with a live audience.

This would Gambino’s first single & video off his upcoming album, Camp (and now we know why it’s called that). The video is a bit of an enigma at first glance but after going through the comments on the video I was able to comprehend the concept this track was based on.

Childish Gambino known as Troy in the hit NBC comedy series Community, in time will be a rapper to be reckoned with. His fast paced rhyming riddled together with tongue twisting lyrics accompanied by a paranormal melodies would be the reason this guy can be labeled as original & creative.

Highly recommended for rap/hip hop fans. Also check out his groundbreaking single “Freaks & Geeks” produced by Ludwig Göransson ,which was adopted by Adidas for one of their inspiring commercial.
