Mixtape Spotlight: STN MTN / Kauai

Well I'm back. Its been so long since I've posted anything.....ya know, school is a thing >.<

Childish Gambino - STN MTN / Kauai 

   Glad to be back, talking about my favorite artist: Childish Gambino aka THE genius. Just to give my overall opinion about this mixtape (that dropped last October): incredibly dope.
   Though a majority of it (STN MTN) was samples (and I'm a fan of music production) it was still great that Bino just went in with hot verses and amazing vocals. He represented the ATL very well (I'm from Philly, don't mistake me lol) with straight bars.
   Kauai was produced by Donald and his close friend Ludwig, which Donald showed off his vocals greatly. I have to say it was my favorite half of the mixtape as a whole. Since it was, I'll be giving a song by song review of the Kauai EP.

1. Sober

I love this song so much! Production and lyrics are amazing Honestly, it's quite different than genres he did before, its pop! Not really a pop fan but this song makes me think otherwise. Actually this entire EP is very experimental and just different. It very inspiring and rare for an artist to be so diverse and creative like him.

2. Pop Thieves (Make It Feel Good) ft. Jaden Smith

First off, shout out to my boy Jaden. His music has been very inspiring and dope lately. Its great to see someone my age do great things. This song is pretty awesome. Not much to it other than that besides the fact that Bino can sing his ass off :-)

3. Retro

Great song, though the chords sound very very familiar.....whatevs. It sounds like something that should be on the radio but hell, all his shit should be lol. Also lyrically, i love it.

4. The Palisades ft. Christian Rich

This is my shit! Lyrically I fell in love with this song. Definitely something to play in the summer time on a beautiful day.

5. Poke ft. Steve G. Lover

On this one, I just wanna say his brother has BARS lol. Still not as good his bro though. 

6. Late Night in Kauai ft. Jaden Smith

While you may think Jaden Smith is just talking nonsense..... Ok well he is but this all of the story of the "boy". This story goes all the way back to Because The Internet. So with it all being connected, I think its great.

7. 3005 (Beach Picnic Version)

Great remix to the originally great song. Bino and Ludwig got skills

So long and thanks for reading!
