Every Childish Gambino Single Ranked Worst To Best

In a more than successful effort to momentarily transition into unexplored territory, Childish Gambino provided us with his now trademark unpredictability for the first time as he penned the track “Heartbeat”, on his elementary release (Camp). Delving head first into a full-blown dance number, the track exceeds in surprising his audience, who understandably expected the same traditional rap/hip-hop elements already associated with the artist, heard in the prior entries of his catalogue. This infectious EDM inspired number documents the story of a man who’s still irreverently in love with his ex-partner, still seeing her behind both of their partner’s backs.

This is the point where Gambino stopped being another brick in the wall of the evanescent rap generating machine, proving that he is anything but another mainstreamrapper predestined to rap about drugs, guns and “bitches”. Instead, using these subjects to devise a cohesive story line that makes for a uniquely inventive sound that could have only come from such an outside thinker as Gambino.
