Childish Gambino (real name Donald Glover) dropped his surprise album, Atavista, on Sunday (May 12). The multi-hyphenate, born Donald Glover, will also head out on a global tour with Willow and Amaarae beginning this summer.
The New World Tour kicks off on August 11 in Oklahoma City and hit several other North American cities, including Toronto, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Los Angeles and Chicago.
