Donald Glover You just have to watch the music video the world is raving about ‘This is America’
Amercian rapper, Donald Glover, premiered two new songs over the weekend and also released the video for one of the singles, ”This is America”.
The video, choreographed by Sherrie Silver and directed by Hiro Murai, infuses the story of present day America as he sees it in its four minute long run, and has ended up striking nerves and shaking tables in different institutions.
