Donald hasn’t forgotten his roots, with the show being based on the rap scene of his birthplace, Atlanta, where he plays a manager ‘Earn Marks’, who’s supporting his young cousin, Alfred, and his struggles while trying to make a break in the rap business.

The promo describes the show, “Starring and created by Donald Glover, Atlanta revolves around two cousins on their way up through the Atlanta rap scene whose opposing views on art versus commerce, success and race will make their quest anything but easy.”

Judging by the trailer the show will definitely be worth a watch, this guy is a genius! Much love.
