about

In 2008, my NYU buddy Donald Glover (AKA Childish Gambino, AKA Bambino-X) invited me to rap on the mixtape he was working on during the writer's strike - 'Sick Boi.' The track was about a subject I've always been passionate about, hoodies (or, hooded sweatshirts, if you're the type to wantonly risk bodily harm).

That June, 'Sick Boi' was released for free through the ever-popular mixtape channels of the time and as Donald went on to do some amazing things, it was always cool to have that connection. Some very cool people uploaded the mixtape to YouTube after its release, and it's always been nice to have that immortalized.

Unfortunately, the permanence of the internet in 2022 isn't as strong as we thought it would be in 2008. A lot of those platforms hosting 'Sick Boi' in its initial mp3 zip/rar files have either vanished or been corrupted, and with the ever increasing quality of YouTube as a whole, the flaws in the limitations of uploads made before a certain year are really starting to show. Additionally, factor in that YouTube is running ads before the track (as they are in front of all videos these days), something that flies in direct opposition of the whole spirit of the "Free Mixtape Era," it seemed like now would be a good time to have the original file Donald set me polished up a bit and made available. Additionally, working in radio now, there's not a whole lot of Gambino songs from that era that pass FCC broadcast regulations, so it seemed like a good time to make a clean version as well.

So, here it is. 2008's "My Hoodie." Thanks you for listening. Thank you for reading. Thanks Donald for inviting me on the track. Thanks Troy for remastering it. RIP Chris Kanyon.
