“Atavista is a fleshed out version of Childish Gambino’s fourth studio album 3.15.20 which was teased by Donald on his Instagram account on March 15, 2024, four years since the reveal of the project, and released on May 13, 2024. Notably, this is a playful switching of release dates: 3.15.20 to 5.13.24. The revised project features two fan favorite tracks, “Atavista” and “Human Sacrifice”. Both songs were first previewed back in 2018, during Gambino’s last world tour, but did not make the final cut of the album for unknown reasons. However, as seen in the screenshot above from Donald’s Instagram story, “0.00”, “32.22” and “42.26” (also known as “Feels Like Summer”) were all scrapped from the album.” Genius #ChildishGambino #donaldglover #atavista #atl #atlanta #31520 #fineartofmk #hiphop #comicart #hiphopculture #hiphopmusic #artist #art #artofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #hiphoplife #comicbook #comicbooks #comicartist #comic #symphonikcomics #tiktokartist #tiktokart

This is basically a combination of all the tracks Kendrick has released to this point. There are some themes I didn’t approach with this design, because of their possible validity, and because I’m just an outsider enjoying the spectacle of it all. My reference is from a crazy ass Lois Lane comic released in 1970. “After much anticipation, “euphoria” serves as Kendrick Lamar’s official response to Drake’s April 2024 diss tracks, “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle,” while also serving as his first solo release since May 2022’s Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers. All of these diss tracks are a culmination of the shot that Lamar initiated toward Drake and J. Cole throughout his featured verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s March 2024 single, “Like That.” The song was released without any prior announcement via YouTube on April 30, 2024 at 8:24 am Pacific Standard Time as a subtle nod to fellow Los Angeles legend and former Laker, the late Kobe Bryant. After a few hours, “euphoria” appeared on all streaming services.“ Genius #kendrick #kendrickdiss #kendricklamar #KENDRICKVSDRAKE #euphoria #likethat #616inla #meetthegrahams #notlikeus #kungfukenny #drake #hiphopmusic #comicart #hiphop #hiphophead #artist #fineartofmk #art #hiphopculture #artofinstagram #cali #westcoast #crodie #Aminor

“DJ Premier via Complex: That’s about your mental. I remember we called Inspectah Deck, and he was on the phone with Guru like, ‘Yo, what’s this song about?’ And Guru said, ‘It’s about your mental.’ Just like that. Deck leaned on one part of the control board, and Guru faced the opposite end, and they faced each other with their pads writing their lyrics. I just had the beat running, while I was constructing the intro, because the intro had to be sick. So I was doing that, but looking at them every now and then. And they eventually go, ‘Yo, I’m ready.’ Guru walks in and does his, and when Deck goes in, we’re just like, ‘Jesus Christ.’” #gangstarr #wutangclan #djpremier #guru #InspectahDeck #fineartofmk #hiphopculture #90skids #NYC #newyork #artofinstagram #artist #hiphopmusic #hiphop #nyc #comicart #art #90s #hiphophead #artwork #newyorkcity #hiphoplife #comicbook #comicbooks

“The Beasties are my homies. We were just wilding out in the studio when we did this song. And although some people thought I produced it, ‘Get It Together’ was their track. It started when I was there in Cali visiting them. … I got crazy high during that session [laughs]. I freestyled that joint and the Beasties chopped it up. Next thing I know, it was on their record (Ill Communication). I didn’t even realize they were going to use it. It was definitely one of the more memorable things that I’ve done.” — Q-Tip, Vibe, 2011 #beastieboys #qtip #ATCQ #illcommunication #90s #artwork #90skids #hiphop #hiphopculture #artistsoninstagram #hiphophead #art #artist #hiphopmusic #artofinstagram #fineartofmk #comicart #NYC #newyork #nyc #newyorkcity #newyorkrappers #hiphoplife #comicbook #comicartist #comic #symphonikcomics
