Year 7, Day 46

Good Morning! Today's song is Heartbeat by Childish Gambino and Twenty One Pilots. 

So this is a mashup of Car Radio by Twenty One Pilots and Heartbeat by Childish Gambino, mixed together by a man named Grayson Kitzen, from Ohio. It's a really good mix because, despite knowing that Twenty One Pilots song, I literally didn't make the connection that this wasn't an original song until well... now. So go check out more of Grayson's stuff on SoundCloud. I'm pretty sure I've featured both groups before so I'm going to do this fast. So Childish Gambino is the stage name for Donald Glover Jr. He's been active since 2006 when he started as a writer on 30 Rock. He had some cameos and became a member of Derrick Comedy, a sketch comedy group that posts on YouTube. He joined Community in 2009 which brought his acting to a full time career. He started his musical career in 2008, picking the name thanks to a Wu-Tang Clan name generator. He's released some mixtapes and so far has four albums, the first in 2011 and the most recent from this year. He's also continued acting and has been featured in some big movie roles. Twenty One Pilots is a duo made up of Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun, and the group has been active since 2009. They've released five albums so far in their career, the first from 2009 and the most recent from 2018. They spent 2019 releasing singles, and continued in 2020, with a song geared towards the pandemic and proceeds going to an organization to fund live music crews since concerts are a no-go this year. Which is pretty awesome of them.

Peace.
