Today, Heems released his latest project, the Wild Water Kingdom mixtape. The collection is packed with 17 tracks, including a cameo by Childish Gambino and production by some elite talent like LE1F, Harry Fraud, Crookers, and Lushlife. Check out one of its standout tracks “Cowabunga Gnarly” below, and then listen/download the whole thing for free!

Rolling Stone recently did an in-depth interview with the Das Racist member about the mixtape and his Indian American identity, which you can read here.

[Hip-Hop] Childish Gambino – Sour Face (ft. Jay Rock)

Posted by Ash El Gamal - July 17, 2012

On Gambino’s most recent project, ROYALTY, we saw him team up with two members of Black Hippy, Ab-Soul and ScHoolboy Q. On Sour Face, CG enlists the most senior member of the crew, Jay Rock, for a track to ride to. Jay Rock’s aggressive, gangster flow fits surprisingly well with Gambino’s approach and this is yet another demonstration of the growth of Donald, exhibiting versatility while maintaining his uniqueness. After hearing this, I am highly anticipating a collaboration with the fourth member of Black Hippy, Kendrick Lamar. My favorite line on this one references the talented and beautiful Alison Brie, who is one of Glover’s co-stars on Community. In the Bay Area, we would refer to this as a SLAP.

[Hip-Hop] Childish Gambino – Body ft. Prodigy

Posted by Ash El Gamal - July 8, 2012

In case Gambino’s most recent outstanding mixtape, Royalty, left you wanting more, here is a track that just missed the cut for that project. “Body” has a raw, east-coast underground feel to it with its dark and classic production (produced by Childish as was much of the mixtape). Donald’s lyrics are as sharp, comedic and truthful as expected with lines like “these b*tches always down to ride/especially if you keep they nose gentrified.” Prodigy’s vocals and lyricism also add nicely to the overall feel of the track. The immense amount of growth we have seen in Childish Gambino since his early mixtapes is almost absurd as he has truly launched himself into the hip-hop elite.

Childish Gambino – Silk Pillow (Feat. Beck)

Posted by Blas Yaselli - May 31, 2012

Just insane… Donald Glover seems to be on a strict diet of sugar and Red Bull because with the amount of new tracks he has released in the past 4 weeks, we doubt he is getting any sleep. His latest track is ‘Silk Pillow’ featuring the four-time platinum artist, Beck. But as Stereogum points out, not just any Beck but the “surreal stream-of-consciousness half-rapping Beck of the Mellow Gold days”. Grab the free download bellow.
