Actor, comedian and rapper Donald Glover – known to the fans of his music as Childish Gambino – put all of the aforementioned skills into commission last night (January 25) when he performed at East London venue CAMP, with a set of new material from his latest LP of the same name.

Supporting act Josh Osho [who could very well be the UK’s answer to John Legend] warmed up the crowd with smooth vocals and a passionate performance. With elements of blues and a voice that at times cracked under passion, Osho performed tracks “Birthday,” “SOS,” “Redemption Days” and, my personal favourite, “Giants,” which with its rocky feel and deeply resonating chorus, seemed to strike a chord with an audience that were eagerly anticipating the arrival of Mr. Gambino.

And when he finally did arrive on the stage after a rather prolonged delay [which made us very thankful for the skills and music choice of DJ Semtex], the room erupted in cheers. Whipping off his hoodie, Gambino turned to face the crowd greeting fans with an almost matched excitement. “I haven’t done a show in a room like this in a long time,” he said, referring to the underground, low-ceilinged, intimate venue that is CAMP. “So I wanna burn this place down.”

With that said, DJ Semtex was the first DJ I heard play both Drake and Frank Ocean on his radio show… so when I get an email from him pushing a new artist… I take time to listen.

Now you…

DJ Semtex lets this out to the world last night on his radio show. British MC Sway has worked with Lupe Fiasco before, mostly as a featured artist. This time it is the other way around, with Mr. Fiasco provided the guest vocals.

At a recent show in London Semtex caught up with 19 year old white boy Mac Miller. This guys the same age as me and he’s really got it going on right now, he’s touring europe off the back of a few mixtapes and he’s not even signed to a major label – though saying that, is that really big news these days? Probably not.

Theres something special about Mac and his delivery. He along with the other new school Hip Hop guys like Wiz, Drake and Big Sean are all carving a new path in Hip Hop, it’s a path that needed to happen, Hip Hop needed a shake up and I’m glad to hear it.

Last week, he performed his first UK show and spoke with DJ Semtex on his upcoming debut album, his influences, and more.

Lately, it seems Mac’s been having a lot of best days ever. Last week, he performed his first UK show and spoke with DJ Semtex on his upcoming debut album, his influences, his come up and more.

I’ve been without my computer and the Internet for a while, but everything seems to be back working fine now. Albeit with a delay, I’ve just uploaded a few pictures and a live gig review of my recent trip to Birmingham to see the legendary Wu-Tang Clan. Great night, despite a bit of a rocky start. Check it out:
