![]() ![]() STN MTN features numerous artists from the Georgia region like Future, Maceo and Kari Faux and samples even more, all the while spitting esoteric references for locals and formally declaring Childish Gambino’s status as elite among ATL artists. The title STN MTN is a stylized reference to Gambino’s hometown Stone Mountain, Georgia, and the work reflects the gritty, inner city club inspired sounds he encountered growing up. Splitting the works up, STN MTN is regarded as an overt praise of Atlanta artists and musical culture, as well as, a lament for a time passed. It should be noted that his recent work is also a continuation of Because The Internet by showing parallels that preach the almighty power of the internet and acknowledge how, from its existence, we have been connected, we have been changed and we have been affected by our accomplishments and failures due to their reception online. ![]() The mixtape is a symbol of the artist’s divided life, a conscious admittance of the follies surrounding being both Donald Glover and Childish Gambino. However, released Oct 2, STN MTN/Kauai is a conceptual project that leads off the themes of his previous album while also presenting a juxtaposition of personal inspiration and life experience. His first release since Because The Internet, Donald Glover has been notably absent from his alter ego Gambino and from music in general, focussing instead on television commitments. For those familiar with the intellectual brevity possessed by Childish Gambino, it should be no surprise that the renaissance man’s recent double release, titled STN MTN/Kauai, exudes the lyrical and emotional prowess of a literary marvel. ![]()
