Childish Gambino Signs With RCA

[Goldie]

​

2018 is already turning out to be a major year for Childish Gambino, who will stay just as busy as last year. The Because the Internet rapper, also known as actor Donald Glover, has just signed a new record deal with RCA Records in partnership with Los Angeles-based creative agency Wolf + Rothstein.

Gambino will be releasing new music sometime this year under the new partnership, but there's no word on if we can expect another full album, or when the new tunes will come our way. CEO of RCA Records Peter Edge shares his excitement of signing the "Redbone" musician in a statement, calling him one of the "most talented" entertainers of this era.


“Donald is undoubtedly one of the most talented, multi-faceted, young entertainers of this era,” Edge states. “We are excited to join forces with him and Wolf + Rothstein to usher in the next phase of Childish Gambino’s musical career.”

Childish Gambino describes the new deal as a "necessary change of pace."

The new record deal with RCA comes after Gambino received multiple Grammy nominations for his 2017 Awaken, My Love! album. He'll be performing at the awards show this Sunday.

Things are definitely going to be busy for him in the beginning half of 2018, as he is also gearing up for the premiere of Atlanta season two in March.

Congratulations to Childish Gambino on the new deal.

I have no clue what to expect from him next musically.

He had the best album of 2016 but his rap game was never anything special

Man..

Ive been following this dude since he was in that little Comedy group on College Humor, His "Mystery Team" movie, to seeing his first stand up, to watching 30 Rock, to Community, then his rap music, then Atlanta. Dude is so goddamn talented and theres hardly anything hes done that i didnt like. I wasnt a huge fan of his rap music, but I liked a lot of "Because the Internet" and i loved "Awaken, My Love".

He said he was chilling out with the Childish Gambino stuff and was going to focus on acting, but it looks like hes gearing up for more music now.

I think he will do the music/Atlanta show for awhile, but his next thing will be Directing movies. He'll probably start directing Episodes of Atlanta soon if he hasnt already.
