It's been quite a long time since Childish Gambino released his last project, STN MTN/Kauai, but the wait for new music from the rapper/actor could finally be coming to an end. While Childish has given no hints about new music—he's actually ghost on all of his social media pages right now—a major clue may have surfaced on engineer Andrew Dawson's personal website.
Dawson, who has worked extensively throughout his career with Kanye West, How to Dress Well, Gambino, and more, recently updated his site with his most recent work—like 'Ye's The Life of Pablo—and also included a note about Childish's new, untitled album. Based on the index on top of Dawson's page, it seems to indicate that he mixed Gambino's forthcoming album, but it unfortunately gives no further details.
Does this mean that the project is completed? We don't really know, but it's certainly a possibility since mixing an album is one of the last steps done before it comes out. With new music possibly on deck and his original show, Atlanta, coming to FX this summer, it's a safe bet that Childish Gambino is going to have a major year in 2016. We reached out for comment from Gambino's camp and will update this story when more details are made available. You can check out Dawson's website for yourself here.
