Coming to Houston this week for the This Is America Tour is Childish Gambino and Rae Sremmurd! I never expected this singer/ rapper and the rap duo to be doing a tour together, but they are, and they will be at the Toyota Center, Saturday September 22nd! Childish Gambino who is the headliner of this tour wears many hats! He is a singer, rapper, actor, and executive producer of his tv show on FX, Atlanta. Childish Gambino is his stage name for his musical ventures, but when he’s acting and producing he goes by Donald Glover. His latest album dropped back in 2016 it’s titled “Awaken, My Love”. If you listen to Hip-Hop or R&B you should know the biggest single from the album, Redbone. It was on the radio for months! The tour is named after Gambino’s popular single This Is America, that was released in May of this year along with the music video. The music video sent out a message about race and gun violence in America, and showed how we are distracted from these important issues by popular dances. People on social media and different news outlets talked about this video for days. It currently has 395 million views on YouTube. He just recently released two songs, and another music video for one of the songs, Feels Like Summer, at the beginning of this month. This video also created a buzz on social media. Donald Glover has won Emmy’s for Atlanta, and a Grammy and a few VMA’s for his musical talents. He truly is a creative genius! Rae Sremmurd is a popular rap duo they’ve been on the scene since 2014Their name spelled backwards is Ear drummers! Their music will definitely burst your ear drums, but in a good way though. Their music is very riveting, and you can always count on a song by them to start the party. The duo consists of two brothers who stage names are Slim Jxmmi and Swae Lee. They just released a three part album titled SR3MM on May 4. The album has a solo project from each member, and a joint one. I’ve never seen Childish Gambino perform live before, but Rae Sremmurd came to Sam Houston State University my freshman year, and I got to see them perform their first big hit. I really enjoyed the performance, and I didn’t want it to end, but at the time that was their only big hit. It’s great too see how big their fanbase has grown and how they have evolved as artists. I can say the same for Childish Gambino, when I first started listening to his music he wasn’t as popular as he is today. I am fans of both Childish Gambino and Rae Sremmurd. Unfortunately, I will not be attending the This Is America Tour, but I know all of the are artists will put on a phenomenal show. They all have very high energy, and I know the audience will love them. For any fans are just now hearing about this there are still tickets available for purchase online on the Toyota Center website.
