Childish Gambino 'Because the Internet' full stream on iTunes Radio following leak one week before Dec. 10 release date

Six days remain until the official release of Childish Gambino's new album Because the Internet, but that doesn't mean that you have to wait until its official Dec. 10 release date to hear it. Following a leak, Gambino has made his follow-up to 2011's Camp available for streaming in full over at iTunes Radio.

According to HasItLeaked.com, Gambino's second full-length studio album hit the Internet early yesterday (Dec. 3), appearing on sites such as Torrentz and RapGodFathers. Following the premature release, the album appeared on iTunes Radio with little fanfare. Gambino simply took to his official Twitter account (@DonaldGlover) and posted. "itunes stream of 'because the internet'" alongside a link to the record.

Though Because the Internet doesn't officially go on sale until next Tuesday, the full iTunes Radio stream isn't the first that Gambino fans have heard from the album. Leading up to the stream, songs such as "Sweatpants," "3005," "Shadows" and more were available for fans to listen, either through official streams, performance and videos or an unofficial leak (as was the case with "Sweatpants").

Though retaining his signature, stripped down sound which blends together traditional rapping with some smooth R&B crooning, Because the Internet is notably harder and more emotional than 2011's Camp, which could oftentimes be, well, campy. Gambino's penitence for clever wordplay remains however, so fans of the rapper will once again be pleased with the release.

Gambino's sophomore effort follows the artist's departure from the NBC show Community, which he acted in under his real name Donald Glover.
