Rapper Childish Gambino is keeping the music flowing as many people stay in self-quarantine around the world due to the coronavirus pandemic.
On Sunday (Mar. 22), he officially released a new album called 3.15.20, which may have arrived a week later than originally anticipated, or that’s when it was finished.
It also features an interesting collection of tracks from actor and musician Donald Glover as he continues to flex his creative muscle under the Childish Gambino moniker.
Childish Gambino album 3.15.20 tracklist and details
The new album 3.15.20 is Childish Gambino’s fourth studio LP during his career. It arrives four years after Awaken, My Love and nine after his initial debut Camp, and just a day after singer The Weeknd released After Hours online.
It also comes after he had a mysterious stream of music pop up a week ago which was part of a Donald Glover Presents website. That stream was 3.15.20 which is now available for the masses to listen to.
A total of 12 tracks make up the project. The album also features uncredited guest appearances from Ariana Grande and 21 Savage with the rest simply featuring Glover.
While there is no official cover art for the album – it features a blank white square on platforms, Apple Music released a photo of Glover with his two sons on a Twitter post to promote the release.

It’s worth noting that Genius.com website, a popular music and lyrics source, posted a speculative tracklist with titles for the project (below). However, these don’t match up with where Algorythm and Time appear on the actual album’s tracklist as of Sunday.
- Intro (Warlords)
- Little Foot Big Foot
- Why Go To the Party
- Feels Like Summer
- Don’t Worry About Tomorrow (The Violence)
- Under the Sun
- We Are (Interlude)
- Algorythm
- Time (Ft. Ariana Grande)
- Vibrate (Ft. 21 Savage & Khadja Bonet)
- To Be Beautiful
- Sweet Thing / Thank You
Genius website also provides a page with all of the album’s song lyrics, track-by-track.
Gambino’s previous album sold over 1.3 million units within the United States and went Platinum according to the RIAA. His album before that, Because the Internet, was his first and only to hit No. 1 on the US Rap chart, and was certified Gold by the RIAA.
Whether this new eclectic offering will follow suit remains to be seen, as he’ll be contending with that new album from The Weeknd.
