In 2011, Donald Glover--best known as Troy on NBC's Community--morphed into one of the year's breakout hip hop artists. Known as Childish Gambino, his first studio album, Camp, was an immediate hit, shooting up to #2 on Billboard's Top Rap Albums chart.

Glover originally found the name Childish Gambino from a Wu-Tang Clan name generator. He's said that on his early albums, Sick Boi (2008) and Poindexter (2009), he felt he had to hide behind gimmicks like pink hoodies, but with his subsequent projects, he's touched on more personal subject matter, including family, schoolyard bullying, troubled romantic relationships, suicidal thoughts and alcoholism.
