C-H-I-L-D is the ish

My first thought when I saw that Donald Glover was coming to Warehouse Live was cool, fun comedy show. Who knew the Community actor also makes incredible music??? Apparently about a thousand hipsters. The iamdonald tour features a comedy opening followed by the musical stylings of Childish Gambino, Glover's rap-tastic alter ego. 

The comedy is a peek into the world of fame, through the eyes of a newbie. Hilarious encounters with celebs are recounted-- Reggie Bush using Glover's black frames to get girls, for instance.

Glover then uses interactive video to segway to the musical portion of the show.  That guy can drop some beats. Clear, smart, rapid rhymes that thrive on Glover's fluid moves on stage. The energy was contagious. 

Highlight? Surprise appearance by Bun B and the rap-off that followed.


Watch out for this kid.
