From comedian and actor to internet rap sensation,
Donald Glover's circle of avid fans and celebrity pals has rapidly expanded since he made the often-precarious transition under his rhyming alter-ego,
Childish Gambino. Less than a year since the
30 Rock contributor officially graced the studio for his solid debut album
Camp -- a project full of zany, oddball humour and self-aware reflection -- Gambino returns to the studio to produce
Royalty, his most sought-after mixtape to date.
Say what you want about Canadian Hip Hop, but what often emerges from the north is a credible, mature sound which captivates even the most hardened American Hip Hopper. Whereas acts like K-OS, Slakah the Beatchild and Kardinall Offishial have remained consistent, the likes of Drake and K-NAAN have rapidly become internationally recognised performers. Acclaimed rapper and an established name within the scene, Miles Jones, drops his much anticipated second album, Runaway Jones, for the rest of the world to embrace as its much earlier release in Canada has already won many fans over.
