DEBUT ALBUM FROM RAPPER / ACTOR DONALD "I LOVE MIGOS" GLOVER. Preceded by 2010s Culdesac mixtape and 2011s EP, Camp is the first offical full-length release by Glovers hip-hop project . Joined by longtime studio collaborator Ludwig Gransson (in-house composer for Glovers sitcom Community), Glover delivers a debut that is slightly ahead of the curve yet completely of-its-time. Taking in standard canonical influences like (Outside) and alongside more contemporary artists, Glovers songs are relentlessly reflective, with verses addressing his own race and sexuality punctuated by cheeky punchlines (Ive seen it all like Im John Mayers penis hole) to let you know hes not taking himself too seriously. Bonfire sounds directly influenced by s , and Glovers aggressive rap voice is a little too similar to s, but hes actually not a bad singer: check him flexing on the mellow ballad Letter Home (eerily, his singing voice reminds us of ). It should be noted that Glover was riding the singer / rapper ( actor?) wave long before it was de riguer ( had only just released his at this point). The album comes in a double-gatefold sleeve with digital download included.
