Donald Glover will be dropping a new album and speaks on Atlanta season 3 and 4
Donald Glover hardly ever takes to social media to post anything. Today, however, it was different. Amid a crazy day for the rap world (RIP King Von) and the elections happening, it’s good to see Donald Glover speak on his creative works.
“Last music project was probably my best. but the one coming will be my biggest by far,” the artist formerly known as Childish Gambino said. “There’s a lot (of magic) comin,” he continued. “Ya’ll thought I was hot in 2018.
Glover also speaks on his FX series, Atlanta, which has two seasons and last premiered back in 2018.
A true renaissance man, Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino is a writer, actor, singer, and rapper with a one-of-a-kind sense of humor. He wrote for TV’s 30 Rock and starred on Community before taking bigger Hollywood roles. As a musician, his song “Redbone” took over the summer when Jordan Peele’s Get Out hit theaters, as well as his role on FX’s Atlanta. Here are 5 of his best movies so far.
Guava Island
This original musical number was a visual EP for “This is America” and the other songs he released as Childish Gambino around that time. It stars Rihanna and was filmed on location in Cuba as an Amazon Prime exclusive.
Spider-Man: Homecoming
In this 2017 superhero blockbuster, Donald Glover played Aaron Davis. For Marvel nerds, they know his character was Miles Morales’ uncle. Time will tell if he gets pulled back into the MCU in case they bring the Black Spider-Man to the big screen.
The Lion King
This role was more voice acting but it still counts. Donald Glover portrayed an adult Simba with ease and put a new spin on the music from the beloved Disney classic rebooted as a live action feature.
Weirdo
His early stand up is hilarious, as seen in this 2011 special. His jokes teeter on the absurd at times, sharing a perspective that sets him apart. Never one to shy away from embarrassing self-truths, his comedy is ironically universal in its uniqueness.
Solo: A Star Wars Story
How often do we get to see a Black man kick ass and take names in the Star Wars universe? His take on a young Lando Calrissian was priceless. It got even better when he mocked the fact on SNL. The good news is that Disney+ is supposedly rumored to create a TV spin-off starring Glover.
Donald Glover shocked the world last night after he released what seems to be a full-length album exclusively through live stream.
The unexpected release quietly made its way onto donaldgloverpresents.com this morning (March 15). The 12-track untitled project includes his already released single “Feels like Summer” along with new songs featuring artists like SZA, 21 Savage and Ariana Grande.
The website and album were first pointed out by a Twitter user, and later verified after members of Glover’s management team retweeted the link.
Glover previously announced that he made plans to retire ‘Childish Gambino’ last year and is wrapping up on tour dates. Some fans are speculating that the box at the bottom of the website, which allows you to input text of your choice, is Glover’s way of asking fans to choose the album title.
The new project comes complete with a four-part illustration for cover art, which can be seen below.
The site’s source code may also imply that music videos are on the way. As fans continue to react to the surprise release, stream the project now at donaldgloverpresents.com and check out the partial track list below.

FX has renewed for two new seasons of the Emmy-winning series.
Good things come to those who wait as FX announces Donald Glover‘s beloved comedy ‘Atlanta’ will be releasing Seasons 3 and 4 within the same year. The seasons will be shot this spring and will debut fairly close to one another in 2021, with season 3 premiering in January.
Since the show debuted in 2016, it has been a fan favorite. The comedy/drama revolves around two cousins: Earn (Donald Glover) and Paper Boi (Brian Tyree Henry) as they try to make it in the rap world and face various scenarios in life.
Donald Glover has already been established as a “jack-of-all-trades” in the entertainment industry (comedy, music, acting, etc.). So when the announcement of his own television series surfaced, fans were already intrigued. Once released, ‘Atlanta’ was immediately received with love.
‘Atlanta’ is known for having significant waiting periods between periods, but shows like to take their time and create the proper new season. Yes, the wait is rough. Will it be worth it? Absolutely. Season 3 is planned to have 10 episodes, while Season 4 is expected to contain 8. With 18 more episodes coming in one year, the excitement is just as high as ever.
