Fans of Childish Gambino have a few reasons to rejoice today (May 13). First, the Georgia-raised talent surprised everybody with Atavista, which he revealed to be the completed iteration of his fourth studio LP.

"This album is the finished version of 3.15.20, the album I put out four years ago," he wrote on Twitter. "There's a special vinyl coming soon with visuals for each song. The all-new Childish Gambino album comes out in the summer." Ariana Grande, 21 Savage, Summer Walker, and more make appearances on the 11-song effort.

The actor-artist -- also known professionally by his real name, Donald Glover – already dropped one visual for the single "Little Foot Big Foot," a collaboration with Young Nudy. Originally titled "35.31," the updated version remains full of clever lines about making money on the streets as Gambino breaks out some dance moves in the black-and-white clip. "Abbott Elementary" star Quinta Brunson makes a cameo in the Hiro Murai-directed offering.

It all kicks off in August and will touch a wealth of North American, European, and Australian cities until February 2025.
