Every self-proclaimed music fan has been waiting for it all summer and now, it’s about to be everyone’s summer fling. After steadily dropping recordings over the past few weeks, CHILDISH GAMBINO has finally released his new mixtape Royalty, an 18-track cut full of more familiar numbers (“We Ain’t Them”, “Shoulda Known”) and new creations featuring the likes of ScHoolboy Q, Ab-Soul, Ghostface Killah, Danny Brown, Beck and even indie rocker Danielle Haim (of Haim) and all-star comedian Tina Fey. You can download the whole tape here but just remember this when you plug in your headphones: we really weren’t kidding about it being a new summer fling.
Childish Gambino’s studio record Camp is available now via Glassnote Records
