Compton-born artist Channel Tres announces the Black Moses EP on August 2, following up last year’s acclaimed self-titled debut. Black Moses. First single “Sexy Black Timberlake” is a fusion of low-slung deep house, West Coast rap, and Channel‘s effortlessly deep baritone. Lyrically it’s a taste of some of the larger issues Channel Tres has been grappling with as a young black man on the rise. Society still tends to stereotype black men as one of two extremes: violent threats or mythical sex objects. This song is about being made to feel like the latter.

In less than a year, Channel Tres has found fans in everyone from Elton John to Anderson Paak to Disclosure, with Pitchfork, NPR, Gorilla vs. Bear, Triple J, BBC Radio 1, Beats1 and KCRW lining up as early champions. This past winter he toured North America first with Robyn, then with Vince Staples. His live show is a mesmerizing mix of music and movement and comes this summer to some of the world’s most elite festivals.

Childish Gambino claimed ‘Record of the Year’, ‘Song of the Year’, ‘Best Music Video’ and ‘Best Rap/Sung Performance’ at the 2019 Grammy’s for his pointedly powerful hit single “This Is America”, leaving fans hungrily awaiting new music. Teasing his highly anticipated fourth record with a “Summer Pack” of singles, the breezy tracks “Summertime Magic” and “Feels Like Summer” have been left to tide fans over in the meantime.

Since his debut album “Camp” (2011), “Because the Internet” (2013) and “Awaken, My Love!” (2016), Gambino’s impressive catalogue of music have continuously received critical praise – beginning with Grammy Awards in 2015 which saw him claim ‘Best Rap Album’ for “Because the Internet” and ‘Best Rap Performance’ for his single “3005″. In 2018 he was nominated for five Grammy Awards including, ‘Album of the Year’ for “Awaken, My Love!”  and ‘Record of the Year’ for the hit “Redbone,” winning the Grammy for ‘Best Traditional R&B Performance’.

Stepping away from Childish Gambino, Donald Glover’s scope of talent is seemingly boundless, extending to writing, directing and acting credits on hugely successful TV shows such as “30 Rock” and “Community”, and he is the force behind the critically acclaimed series, “Atlanta”. Additionally, Glover has numerous movie credits, most recently playing Lando Calrissian in “Solo: A Star Wars Story” and is cast as the voice of Simba for Disney’s remake of “The Lion King”.

With the Grammy-award winning artist repeatedly stating that any upcoming performance is likely to be among his final ever, there’s no doubt that fans will need to move swiftly to secure tickets.
