Soundcloud Treasures-'Royalty' The Mixtape, Childish Gambino

I’m in the process of researching for a piece I’m working on covering Donald Glover. I noticed this morning that ‘Because The Internet’ was released today in 2013. I started listening to the album, impressed all over again by Gambino finding his voice as an artist. As the album progressed, a switch in a beat of a song made me want to dig up this gem linked below. We can always count on Soundcloud to give us what we miss from our dead file sharing sites.

With features from RZA, Bun B, & Ghostface, it was apparent that he was in a space where he was respected by his OGs and his peers alike. Released on July 4th of 2012, we found him in his own stride, in his own lane, making the music he wanted to make.

Ratchet Donald is my favorite.

Childish Gambino has been sprinkling a few tracks here and there leading up to today, the release of Royalty. Featuring Production by Myke Murda, Skywlkr & Ludwig and Boy-1da and including established and upcoming like Beck, Ghostface Killah, RZA, ScHoolboy Q, AB-Soul, Bun B and Danny Brown. www.madsubculture.pt
