Looks like this is the final Childish Gambino album.

Childish Gambino recently dropped off his incredible new song, "This Is America." If you listen hard enough, the background vocals on the track belong to some of the most revered artists coming from Donald Glover's hometown of Atlanta. Young Thug not only did adlibs on the track but also assisted in the melodies on the intro and the outro of the song. He has now confirmed that he does have a role on Gambino's final album.

Spotify recently enlisted Young Thug for their "Scrolling In The Deep" segment and asked him about several posts on his Instagram feed. They scrolled to the picture he has with Gambino on his page and confirmed that he'll be featured on Gambino's forthcoming album.

"[Childish Gambino] got in touch with Reese LaFlare. I think they cool, friends or whatever. He told him to come to the [studio]. He said he has a song for me for his last album." Thug said. "I tweeted one time, I was like, 'I bet I be on Gambino's last album.' I'm on his last album, it's crazy. He's really not making music after this."

Shortly after Young Thug spoke about his relationship with Future which goes deeper than just music. He said that the two have buddy tats of each other's name.
