Childish Gambino – Culdesac

We here at Box Musique have long been advocates of Donald Glover, both as producer mcDJ and rapper Childish Gambino. It is under the latter persona that he has released his latest — and once again completely free — album. Entitled Culdesac, the 15 track release is musically superior to anything else he has ever put out and is packed with tongue-in-cheek wit, mad little rhymes and some damn good tunes. Highlights include ‘Put it in My Video’, ‘Let Me Dope You’, ‘Fuck It All’ and ‘The Last’, but to be honest, the whole album is pretty sick. The only song I’m not keen on is ‘I’m Alright’ which doesn’t quite flow as well as some of the other tracks, but at just under two minutes long it seems to act as more of an interlude than a major player anyway.

Basically, I’m loving it and I still can’t believe it’s free…the world needs more artists like this. The world needs less Bono too, but I guess that’s kind of unrelated. Fucking Bono.
