Childish Gambino — aka Donald Glover, aka Troy — wants someone to save him from his record label.
The noted slashie took to Twitter overnight to share his grievances with Glassnote Records, who released last year's 'Because The Internet' LP as well as 2011's 'Camp'.
Glover claims the label didn't handle the video and blog for his latest track, 'Sweatpants', correctly, and is now openly calling for the likes of Def Jam and Atlantic to buy out his contract with Glassnote.
"My team is honest," he tweeted. "Ur not on my team if ur not honest. Don't lie to me."

so this sweatpants video and blog was important to us.
