Childish Gambino has been very quiet during the second half of 2015. After news broke out that he was creating a new show on FX called “Atlanta”, the rapper disappeared to work on the show. Recently, Gambino premiered “Atlanta” at the Television Critics Association Conventioneer the first time, claiming that the new show is supposed to be the “Twin Peaks” with rappers.

Donald Glover's #Atlanta will air this summer on #FX. I watched the pilot last night and it's really good.

Donald Glover's #Atlanta (#FX) is full of great, gritty stuff about the city. They hope to include a groc store known as the #MurderKroger.

There's a place in Atlanta called 'the Murder Kroger' because lots of murders happen there, says #AtlantaFX creator Donald Glover. #TCA16
