"you let him do it"— Gilga Radio plays the new Childish Gambino records with Kanye West and Kid Cudi

{Disclaimer: The lyrics are rated explicit. Readers' discretion is advised.}

Around the 42-minute mark, after Olivia Rodrigo's Obsessed plays on the radio show, a voice cuts in to hype up the 3005 rapper by citing how "If Childish Gambino wants to do something" one shouldn't question him and let him follow through. A rapid drum pattern emerges, building into a synthy production with Gambino rapping:

"Uh, I got the bands, the rover / Reddiest Octobers, the Goku comeback / I thought I told you"

The Kanye West references begin immediately with the initial lines referencing Ye's "Red Octobers" shoe collection, which was released as part of Yeezy 2 back in 2014. From referencing Jay-Z's hit album The Blueprint to flexing his position on GQ's "Best Dressed" for 2018, the song is filled with electric bars. Gambino ends his verse by stating:

"You n----s talk cheap, you n----s cheapskates / You n----s talk show, you n----s Ziwe / You n----s deepfake, you n----s AI / But y'all would never have your mommas sittin' courtside"

Kanye hops on the track with an energetic performance matching the flow and vibe Childish Gambino created in his verse. With many references to God and Christianity, Kanye raps:

"My agent just called and said "Yo, say less" / N----s waitin’ on The Throne like "Hov, say yes" / I took my shoes out the store, they the new Payless / That's the New God Flow, but I don’t pray less"

The song gets more interesting as both Kanye and Gambino go back and forth over the next two verses, complementing each other's styles and cadences, with bars highlighting the two rappers enjoying life. Some of the most notable lines from their "back-n-forth" verses include:

"[Gambino] Man, I still got the A like I passed the test / [Ye] Man, I could walk through the Chi' like it's Nazareth / [Gambino] If they don't put a Grammy on my 'gram for the same song / I'ma choke a n----a for the team like Draymond / [Ye] She a virgin, I flew her out to Saint John / Hopin' we the "Say Less", I'm hopin' they would say sumn"

Their new song appears to be titled "Say Less," with the same phrase repeating over five times throughout the track, although it is creatively phrased to be used in various situations.

Around the 61-minute mark, Gilga Radio previews the Kid Cudi and Childish Gambino record titled Warlords, which is a slow-paced track with vocals filled with a synth production complementing Cudi's style and aesthetic.

This song was also previewed on Gambino's Instagram story and comes only a few days after the rapper responded to Cudi calling him out on social media. Glover responded back to Kudi on last week's episode of Gilga Radio, where he stated:

"Kid Cudi, if you got a problem, I’m not here for the beef. Just talk to me."

It appears that with this song being previewed on Gilga Radio and Childish Gambino's Instagram story, the two have indeed spoken to each other, with their light beef coming to an end.
