Online retailers may have beaten Childish Gambino to the punch, but now he’s getting the chance to announce things on his own terms, as the rapper premiered “Me and Your Mama,” the lead single off his new record, Awaken, My Love, on Beats 1 today.

I've been listening to this for about a week and I'm ashamed to say I completely forgot about you! You guys love Stranger Things, and you love Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino, so I imagine you'll love this mashup by kmlkmljkl.
The mashup takes the opening sequence to the show and combines it with Gambino's "Bonfire," which is already a great song. I think this takes it to the next level! (Warning: Nsfw language.)...
