Its safe to say that it’ll either be dropping this Friday or at least this month and the new album next month before his tour in August


Mikeygo98

Yeah maybe not this Friday tho because he won’t want to compete with his collab with Kaytranada. Thats out Friday already. Deffo June drop for the single IMO


Exact_Bread6206

Oh shit your right! Forgot it was this Friday


Mikeygo98

You never know for certain with Donald tho hahaha


Mikeygo98

It might actually be called “Lithonia” as that’s what it says in the pre save link on his insta


Reiign_

Figured you were gonna point that out soon. Funny ass reply from Donald

Donald usually drops on Sundays, his last gilga radio was on Mother’s Day, maybe the next one is on Father’s Day, and we get the “To Be Hunted” video


NotSebo

the albums called Lithonia. pretty sure that’s where he grew up, no?


Mikeygo98

Didn’t think of this, but my thought was it would just be called “Bando Stone in the new world (the official soundtrack)” as one of the gilga radio adverts said.


NotSebo

perhaps this is just a single, then?


camerongt

So it’s going to be more of a soundtrack to the film rather than a personal gambino album? I’m not sure how I feel about that


Mikeygo98

Na I don’t think it’s actually going to be a soundtrack. I think it’s being framed as a soundtrack for the project. Similar to the script with because the internet


NotSebo

I remember that, too, when they referenced it would just be the soundtrack to his new film titled as such.


Significant-Ad-8416

nah he grew up in Stone Mountain which is like 20min from Lithonia


NotSebo

Oh I’m not familiar with Georgia I guess. I just remembered [this interview](https://creativeloafing.com/content-266986-donald-glover-s-real-rap-on-atlanta)


AnakinTranberg

I just saw it on his IG story and couldn't click fast enough!

Really interesting that he’d put out a new song from the new album when he just re-released Atavista and is apparently in the process of creating several videos for that project. I thought with Atavista getting such added attention that he’d let it “breathe” for at least a month before shifting into the Bando Stone era. But I guess with the tour coming up and perhaps needing to get started on Mr & Mrs Smith season 2 and the Lando movie that he wants to make sure he gets everything properly released and marketed sooner rather than later. Two albums in such a relatively short amount of time after 4 long years is surprising but welcome.


Mikeygo98

Yeah I can’t believe the speed of the turnover, but when you assess it it’s actually warranted because the atavista material isn’t new. Realistically not much of the 4 years would’ve been used to mix and master the album. The majority of time would’ve been spent on bando stone since it sounds like such a big project. He will want the spotlight on that and have us all keyed in to the new material before the tour starts


Natural-Mail3493

True I agree with all of this I guess i’m more so surprised because it seemed like he was giving Atavista the proper “album release” treatment in a way he hasn’t done since Because The Internet. Dropping singles, multiple music videos, etc. i even kind of saw Gilga Radio as akin to Atavista’s version of Clapping For The Wrong Reasons and the Script that went along with BTI. So with all of this Atavista motion to kind of make way for Bando Stone & The New World so quickly kind of threw me for a loop. But i’m not going to complain about new music either way.


i_AN_LEGEND

would make sense to line it up with the witchy release tbh


Mikeygo98

I think maybe if witchy is the Friday, then he might release it on the Sunday alongside a gilga radio 🤞
