After a bunch of self-released albums and mixtapes he was then signed to GlassNote Records in 2011. His music is influenced by the following musicians such as, JayZ, Kanye West, Outkast, Wu-Tang Clan. The Roots and Michael Jackson.

Childish Gambinos music lets you imagine the story is he trying to portray in his lyrics and beats. He is also very entertaining from the "weird" and fantasy type music videos it is not like typical musicians that just dance to the music. Gambino makes his music videos into art, through the way he shows his lyrics and story into a typical 4 minute music video. But once you finish watching the video people may either be like "What did i just watch?" or "Wow that was amazing", It just depends on how the person views the music and the video he has created for it. You cant really distinguish what category of music Childish Gambino is because some of his music can be Soul, Rnb, Hip Hop, Rap, Rock. But you can say that he is a genius, his music gives a change to the typical music that is played on the radio and if you really listen to the lyrics you can see the story he is singing/rapping about and also understand the music video.

The album is known for their American Hip Hop style, telling stories of the highs and lows of relationships, conflict, memories, sex, love and so much more.

Jhene Aiko and Big Sean appeared on the cover of FLAUNT MAGAZINE to promote the album, TWENTY88. Jhene Aiko says;"Music now doesn't really cater to the feelings of a real relationship. It's all about trapping and bragging. I feel like this project is something that's needed right now. Especially a whole project, is just good for people to see. That duality is a perfect combination. It's a 70's aesthetic, but we're in the future." From the words Jhene Aiko says music is now very unrealistic when it comes to relationships and love, but singers and rappers like Jhene Aiko and Big Sean, through their songs they give you a feeling of being read a story from start to end and through their music you can feel the emotion and everything happening in their lyrics, people can also understand and feel what they are going through.

As Jhene Aiko and Big Sean released their album TWENTY88 on APRIL 1st, 2016. Many people thought it was an APRIL FOOLS prank, but as they released the songs in the album,a lot of people were outstounded by the music and the stories they were portraying. Even I, Myself fell inlove with the album from the story in DEJA VU all the way to TALKSHOW. The emotion and understandance you feel from their lyrics and beats are insane.TWENTY88 is something every person should atleast give a chance to listen to once in their lives.
