"I wanted to play him some of the new songs, but he didn't want to hear them, because he was like, 'I know they're going to be great,'" Gambino explained before launching into one of the cuts, a propulsive unreleased pop composition with all of the Top 40 trimmings. You can watch that below.

Earlier this year, Glover announced that his upcoming album as Childish Gambino would be his last under the Wu-Tang-name-generated moniker. His This is America tour has offered fans all kinds of easter eggs, including early glimpses at unfinished demos sent to ticket-holders as direct downloads upon purchasing a stub. Outside of music, Glover's nominated for a Golden Globe for the second season of Atlanta and premiered the trailer for a new movie co-starring Rihanna at the New Zealand installation of his Pharos music festival.
