Childish Gambino - "STN MTN" (Mixtape)

Childish Gambino – “STN MTN” (Mixtape)

If any rapper would drop a DJ Drama-hosted mixtape with no warning, it would be Childish Gambino. So it really shouldn’t be a surprise that STN MTN came out on Thursday without any pre-release buzz.

It is far from a perfect mixtape, featuring a slew of freestyles (“Move That Dope,” “Hospitality”) and overly-ignorant joints (“Ass Shots (Remix), “No Small Talk” but it does have a few gems.

“All Y’all” and “Candler Road” stand out as STN MTN‘s two best tracks. “Candler Road” features a terrific mid-track beat change, while “All Y’all” is one of the few laid back, relaxed tracks on the project with its vintage drums and flute sample.

Still, given his relentless touring schedule, it’s impressive that Gambino found time to put together a tape, and STN MTN is certainly worth a spin.
