Childish Gambino Signs With RCA Records

[Ziggiy]

This independent shyt means nothing

Every indie darling signs to a major

People don’t remember but he was unhappy with Glassnote Records as far back as Because The Internet because they weren’t rocking with the release date he wanted or when he wanted to drop singles/videos

He was on Twitter asking for A Major to buy him out of his contract

Awaken is probably my favorite album of the last 5 years. Interested to see what he comes with

 

[Bugsmoran]

I didn't know RCA records was still around

 

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

his music is kinda boring to me

 

[Grizzly]

It's this. He's going to keep making music, just retiring his rap name

i was bout to say

Yeah, they agreed on a roll out and they were dropping videos before they were supposed to

he going back to rapping or he going full tilt on his karaoke wave ?
also as far as the name, i think the Childish Gambino moniker suits the singing role better than the rapping to be honest.

Salute to Gambino, I hope he signed a good deal cause he started with Glassnote for his debut album Camp and from what I see on wiki he worked with Island and Universal too on distribution. This had to had been a great deal for him to go to the majors and it's well earned.

i thought he retired the moniker¿*

Troll I guess or he got an offer he couldn't refuse.

 

[Guvnor]

He's better at singing than rapping to me. I messed with that Kauai tape heavily

I feel he can do both very well and his the internet album showcases that. However with Redbone being such a big hit it's clear his singing will be held to a higher standard bit he can't rap. He might be corny but he can rhyme as he did on the song We Ain't Them and the Royaty mixtape as well. Don't y'all forget it!

I like Because the Internet, I'm not discounting his rapping at all. Just saying I feel he is better at singing

He wasn't indie before this. He was signed to Universal under some shyt called Glassnote

Nah, Universal was distributing his projects but he wasn't officially signed to them from what I read.

He was signed to the indie/alternative equivalent to being signed to Cash Money or Bad Boy. Except Daniel Glass isn't all in the videos. Glassnote has some major indie (as in genre not "independent") on it, mostly big in the UK. 2 Door Cinema, Chvrches,

Good look for the man. Been rocking with since I am not a rapper mixtapes. Amazing to see where he's gone since then
