Stream: Donald Glover Officially Retires “Childish Gambino” Stage Name with Final Album ‘Bando Stone & the New World’

Donald Glover‘s goodbye to his longtime stage moniker Childish Gambino comes as a musical sendoff via the jam-packed album ‘Bando Stone & the New World.’

“It really was just like, ‘Oh, it’s done.’ It’s not fulfilling,” the actor-rapper recently admitted about the alter ego. “And I just felt like I didn’t need to build in this way anymore…I’m not 25 anymore, standing in front of a boulder like, ‘This has to move.'”

Released Friday (July 19), the 17-track affair – which comes as Gambino’s fifth studio effort and shares its name with Glover’s forthcoming film – is led to chart battle by the warmly received singles ‘Lithonia‘ and ‘In the Night.’

His first album in four years, ‘Bando’ boasts guest appearances from Flo Milli, Amaarae, Foushee, Yeat, Legend, and more.
