Donald Glover has announced the final Childish Gambino albums and played new music while on Instagram live.
The musician, comedian, actor and writer first began teasing new music last December, with him promising new music was on the way “soon”. Last night (April 14), Glover took to his Instagram live to debut new music, replying to a fan by saying that the live was “a rollout dummy”.
During the live, Glover played three tracks which included an unreleased rap song, ‘Human Sacrifice’ – which was previously leaked, and a full version of ‘Little Foot Big Foot’ – formerly known as ‘35.31’. The complete version now features American rapper Yung Nudy and will get a music video.
of course. its a rollout dummy.

Glover also shared that his album ‘Atavista’ – an updated version of his previously released ‘3.15.20’ – will be dropping soon (though no release date has been shared at the time of writing). He added that after ‘Atavista’, there will be one more Childish Gambino album which will double as the soundtrack for his upcoming movie, Bando Stone & The New World which is set to be released this summer.
‘3.15.20’ was awarded five-stars by NME when it was initially released in 2020: “Glover’s willingness to share such a candid moment on record is particularly interesting given his past proclivity towards keeping his private life largely offline, and may be a sign that the star is beginning to let his guard down as the outside world continues to try to peer in.
“It’s an approach that Glover is applying to his musical output at least, with the impressive ‘3.15.20’ well worth the wait — we’ll keep our fingers firmly crossed, then, that he doesn’t give in to his past evasiveness and take the record down again…”
Glover also released an EP of new music to go alongside his new TV show Swarm, which landed on streaming platforms in March 2023.
The Amazon Prime Video series was created by Glover alongside Janine Nabers, and features Billie Eilish in her acting debut.
In other news, Glover revealed that the script for the highly anticipated Community movie is “done”, confirming he was “all in”.
His Star Wars feature Lando has also been announced to be developed into a film, with his brother Stephen announcing: “It’s not even a show. The idea right now is to do a movie. But that’s the thing, right now because of the strike, it’s kind of like telephone, all the information coming out.”
Elsewhere, Glover also appeared with A$AP Rocky at Tyler, The Creator’s headline Coachella set.
