BINACT Faves

Hay. Hai. Hello. Today's post is impromptu and very unplanned. I was scrolling Twitter on my lunch break like I always do when I saw a responsive thread prompt by SuperDuperKels:

**Keep in mind WDW highlights independent artists AND hardworking artists that sometimes go unnoticed.

Donald Glover, Childish Gambino, and however else he would like to be addressed has been on my risk it all list since 2011. A friend put me on to Bonfire around the time that the debut album was scheduled to released. Fast forward to summer 2012 and I went to the concert, bought my Royalty wristband (which has been missing since AfroPunk), and inadvertently almost got invited to his tour bus. I've been a Gambino girl ever since.

I found Vic Bae Mensa by way of Waldo & Sango's Wimme Nah Remix (if you want to get me to shouting ask me about Sango's production). He is the star of my very first post and reading it always gets me to tear up a bit. I enjoyed the EP he dropped last year and I'm still anticipating his album.

My line sister put me on to Kyle after I graduated from college summer of 2014. She recommended him because of my love for Childish Gambino. Blake, you didn't steer me wrong. Beautiful Loser is uplifting, fun, and genuine. If you look at the bottom of my page you can see when I got to meet him. I forgot to give him the fruit snacks in my pockets. I tipped him off about BINACT (still hoping he reads the post).

Chance the Rapper is another artist I started listening to around the time I graduated college. I wasn't a huge fan at first BUT after a road trip of Acid Rap on repeat, I came around. I didn't get a chance to write a post that did Coloring Book justice but I played it OUT at my anniversary event.
