If October Sky and Breaking Bad were somehow pieced together into one film/series, that hybrid effort would more or less be Childish Gambino’s music video for “Fire Fly”, off last year’s CoS Top Star-earning Camp. In the pseudo-sci-fi clip, a young kid turns to selling a potent red drug (it’s sorta his Blue Sky) in order to gain access to Fire Fly (the psychedelic-colored planet apparently just miles away from this alternate Earth), encountering violence, betrayal, and even a little romance along the way. Prepare for blast-off when you click play below.
Gambino’s latest mixtape, Royalty, is out now (download your copy here).
