Donald Glover continued to tease out the subsequent Infantile Gambino period on Monday night time (April 23) on the newest episode of his Gilga Radio present, throughout which he premiered recent tracks with Ye and Child Cudi.
About 40 minutes into the 70-minute episode, following a spin of Olivia Rodrigo’s “Obsessed,” a voice got here on proclaiming, “If Infantile Gambino desires to do one thing within the hood, you let him do it,” earlier than the premiere of the monitor, which seems to be titled “Say Much less.”
Over a frenetic beat, Glover as Gambino raps, “Uh, I acquired the bands, the rover/ Reddiest Octobers, the Goku comeback/ I assumed I instructed you/ The movement viral, mind is like pyro/ My cellphone on silent, how the f–ok would I do know?/ The aviators acquired me lookin’ like 5-0/ You ain’t even touched a GQ greatest dressed/ Sty acquired ’em cheatin’ on a style check/ They like rap extra, I’m like ‘Say much less.’”
Ye (previously generally known as Kanye West), drops in on the second verse of the track that bounces alongside on a video game-like mattress of synths and drums. “Now rule primary, ‘Thou shalt not steal’/ The movement, the garments, the intercourse enchantment, yeah/ Now that is my commandment, died and rebrand it/ Three days later, stroll within the Louis sandals/ Duckin’ paparazzi, they might name it a scandal,” Ye spits. “However n—as would love to look at me, actually, I’m like Randall/ I’d moderately haven’t any regrets, however, yo/ My agent simply known as and mentioned ‘Yo, say much less.’”

“N—as ready on the throne, like ‘Hov, say, ‘Sure,’” he continues. “I took my footwear out the shop, they the brand new Payless/ That’s the brand new God movement, however I don’t pray much less.” The rappers commerce strains within the third verse, with Gambino dropping references to disgraced former Empire star Jussie Smollett’s false racist assault claims (“Bought this rope ’spherical my neck like I’m J. Smollett”), Warriors ahead Draymond Inexperienced’s choking of Timberwolves middle Rudy Gobert in November in addition to the road, “You speak an excessive amount of, you want a therapist” earlier than Ye humbly proclaims, “I’m extra like John Lennon, he extra like Don Lemon.”
The second new track, that includes Cudi, seems to be known as “Warlords,” and debuted an hour into the present, in addition to every week after Cudi appeared to diss Gambino. That prompted the rapper/actor to make a plea for peace on final week’s Gilga Radio episode, on which he mentioned, “Child Cudi, if you happen to acquired an issue, I’m not right here for the meat. Simply speak to me.”
Over a staticky beat, Gambino’s AutoTuned voice whisper raps, “You don’t get it, we gon’ kill you, I don’t f–ok with you/ God of the universe, cream of the planеt Earth/ F–ok love, f–ok your life/ F–ok a siren, I hеar screams each night time no gentle/ Inform me the sting, I’m on the sting, I would like 1,000,000/ Ain’t no one higher flip it to a billion/ Inform me the sting, I’m on the sting, I would like 1,000,000.”
Cudi’s verse is equally buried beneath the hand-clap rhythm, as he raps the refrain, “Make means for the soldiers/ Right here it comes, right here it comes, ain’t used to runnin’/ Can’t cover from the soldiers/ Make means for the soldiers/ Right here it comes, right here it comes, ain’t used to runnin’/ Can’t cover from the soldiers.” At press time Cudi didn’t seem to have commented on the monitor within the wake of an accident on Sunday wherein he broke his foot whereas leaping off the stage throughout his Coachella set.
Glover, who made a shock look in Tyler, the Creator’s set in the course of the first weekend of this yr’s Coachella, not too long ago introduced that he’s prepping two albums, Atavista and Bando Stone & the New World soundtrack, which he mentioned might be his closing Gambino tasks.
