The title STN MTN is a stylized reference to Gambino’s hometown Stone Mountain, Georgia, and the work reflects the gritty, inner city club inspired sounds he encountered growing up. Splitting the works up, STN MTN is regarded as an overt praise of Atlanta artists and musical culture, as well as, a lament for a time passed. It should be noted that his recent work is also a continuation of Because The Internet by showing parallels that preach the almighty power of the internet and acknowledge how, from its existence, we have been connected, we have been changed and we have been affected by our accomplishments and failures due to their reception online. The mixtape is a symbol of the artist’s divided life, a conscious admittance of the follies surrounding being both Donald Glover and Childish Gambino.
