childish gambino (pic & sketch)


I love music, so anytime i get a recommendation to listen to a new artist i'm jumping at the bit to do so. That opportunity came up with i was suggested to listen to Childish Gambino. Devon, one of my good friends from the NDG that i attend told it that he was one of the best artist that he heard last year. He went on to say his music was combination of emotions, girls, and being the outcast.
Oddly enough, i'm reminded of a time frame that i felt the same way. That i was the outcast in school. Well early in my middle school/jr high years, i was the black kid that considered to be "black enough" and also the black kid that wasn't white enough to hang with my white friends. As a kid you really don't understand what that means. i have a better grasp on it now as an adult, i was just being who i was not what everyone else wanted me to be. I'm not sad about the experience it was a good experience for me because it makes me who i am today. In that aspect i find Childish Gambino highly relatable and he jumps up into one of my favorite artist.
