In case you’ve been away from the internet for the past 24 hours, Childish Gambino’s latest music video has dropped.

Now that it’s September, the hottest days of the year are (hopefully) firmly in the rearview. But for Childish Gambino, it still “Feels Like Summer.”
Donald Glover dropped a new video for his musical alter ego on Saturday. It’s a 5-minute journey through a summertime neighborhood populated by black celebrities (mostly hip hop stars), beautifully animated by artist Justin Richburg.

The video follows a young man — who looks suspiciously like a cartoon version of Glover-as-Earn, from Atlanta — as he strolls down the street, taking in the playful summer scenes. Occasionally he pauses and a dream-like interlude kicks in. Read more…

Donald Glover’s “This Is America” is one of 2018’s most iconic songs — from its striking imagery, to its choppy dance sequence.
Animator Wahyu Ichwandardi, also known as Pinot, has been documenting his attempt to capture Childish Gambino’s “This Is America” choreography since the beginning of June. Using ancient software, he created a dance sequence straight out of 1985.

The woman behind the dance moves that rocked the internet in Childish Gambino’s provocative “This Is America” music video is a 23-year-old phenom named Sherrie Silver — and she has a thing or two to teach us all.
Silver appeared in a recent BBC video in which she talked about the inspiration behind her choreography, how she came to work for Childish Gambino, her upbringing in Africa and the United Kingdom, and more.
“I stand for taking Africa to the world, and taking the world to Africa, through dance,” Silver said. Read more…

Looks like Childish Gambino has another earworm on his hands.
Earlier this month, the rapper, also formally known as Donald Glover, released his new single “This Is America.” Since its video was uploaded to YouTube, it’s racked up over 111,000,000 views — an incredibly impressive feat considering it’s only been up for nine days. With numbers like that, it’s no surprise that the track has landed Glover his very first Billboard chart-topping position.
According to Billboard, the song took the number one spot on Billboard Hot 100 in both streams and sales with 65.3 million streams and 78,000 downloads in the week ending on May 10, based on numbers from Nielsen Music. Read more…
