From the Grammys to the Primetime Emmy Awards, Donald Glover, a.k.a. Childish Gambino, has come a long way. While he started out writing for Tina Fey’s “30 Rock” and starring in “Community,” his musical career didn’t take off until 2011 with his debut record “Camp.” Since then, his songs have serenaded fans everywhere, from the synth-funk appeal of “3005” to the cool and casual vibes of “Feels Like Summer” all the way to the sharp social commentary of “This Is America.” Now with his reissue of “Atavista” and the release of his final record “Bando Stone & The New World,” Childish Gambino is ensuring that he’s going out as a world star.
