@donaldglover - This Is America

The Childish Gambino is back with a bang as he shares a powerful visual for his newest release, This Is America, after premiering it on Saturday Night Live this weekend. Adding to the many voices in hip hop right now that speak on the social ills that America is currently facing, Gambino takes over a huge warehouse where he displays a full length play out of what's happening in the world around him.

While critics, fans, and artists the world over go back and forth about the underlying meanings in the video, each person perceives the video differently decoding every detail according to their perception. The firm stance on violence, and pop culture as a distraction from what's really happening in the background are loud and clear. Watching the video on repeat will have you uncovering different things every time, especially if you dumb down the sections focusing on one thing at a time. It's pretty dope how Gambino has the whole world discussing various things using his art as a point of departure. Brilliantly done.
