Childish Gambino: "Heartbeat"

Juke Box Hero kicks off your weekend with a track from the decidedly unchildish Childish Gambino, who will perform Sunday at 8:45 p.m. on the Google Play stage.


American Donald Glover, who draws his stage name Childish Gambino from a web program known as the "Wu-Tang Clan name generator", is a despicably enviable modern media renaissance man, wearing hats as a writer, actor, comedian, and, naturally, successful recording artist. Without employing the typical hip hop tropes ("But here I am rapping about money, hos and rent again") he writes sweet rhymes, drops fat beats, and hooks as catchy as flypaper on velcro.

The Wu-Tang name of yours truly? "Amateur Warrior." Now, who wants to sign me?
