EXCLUSIVE UPDATE (07.22.13, 10:10 p.m. EST): Gambino is going all out right now as fans eagerly await his forthcoming Centipede announcement. Since this original post, we've received this exclusive new promo image (seen left) which is set to coincide with the rapper's forthcoming new sounds. You saw this image here first—another sign that new Gambino is finally on the way.


Following news that Donald Glover (aka Childish Gambino) will be departing NBC's Community this season, the actor-rapper went out of his way on Monday to remind fans exactly why he is leaving the cult comedy. With a newly designed website and a simple tweet (his first in months), the MC sent his Twitter followers into a frenzy that ultimately crashed his site.

Although the site is empty, minus a prompt for fans to enter their email address (for forthcoming updates), the change implies that Glover is trying to make a clear statement: he is widely expected to announce very soon the details to his followup to 2011's Camp. The album is reportedly titled Centipede, and according to fan site Forever Childish, a new single by the same title is due to arrive sooner rather than later.
