One of the stories that’s run throughout the four seasons of Atlanta focus on a rapper trying to make it in the music business. For the show’s creator and star, Donald Glover, that’s already a fait accompli — under the name Childish Gambino, he’s a five-time Grammy Award winner with four albums that have hit the Top 20. So it’s really not surprising that music has been a big part of Atlanta, but Glover told us that he’s avoided turning the music-related stories into autobiographical stories, and he tries to keep his own music career separate from the show, especially when it comes to song placements in Atlanta episodes.
