Poindexter

Childish Gambino

High-energy, nasal rap delivered over indie-blog samples. A frantic, self-aware snapshot of an artist finding his voice through nerd-culture defiance.

It's the sound of Troy Barnes having an identity crisis in a dorm room with a MacBook.

A frantic, high-energy burst of self-conscious wit and outsider defiance.

Moments Worth Waiting For
the frantic and high-pitched delivery on Extraordinary that immediately establishes the Sick Boi persona
the sudden shift into more melodic and synth-heavy textures on Sunshine to close the project
the unapologetic pop-culture name-dropping that feels like a time capsule of late-2000s television
