“I wrote ‘Donald Glover’ a while ago and just felt like it had to be released in the summer.  I made the beat for it and wrote the lyrics on the same day.  I call the song, ‘Donald Glover’ because he is one of my main inspirations.  He’s one of the reasons why I started making music and acting, and I felt it made sense to include his name in the song.”
