FX has officially given the green light to Childish Gambino's show about the Atlanta rap scene.
According to Deadline, the network has picked up the rapper's pilot for the show titled, "Atlanta." The show was in talks for about a year at the network and was recently announced as one of the four comedies to be in production mode by the network. The show will focus on Earnest 'Earn' Marks, (played by Gambino) and his cousin who find success in the hip hop world.
Gambino's television credits include NBC's comedies, Community and 30 Rock, which he wrote for with Tina Fey. The rapper will also star in the upcoming sequel for Magic Mike. His music presence continues to stand tall as he was recently nominated for "Best Rap Album" and "Best Rap Performance" for "3005."
The rapper has been silent about his recent accomplishments online. Around the day of his one year anniversary for his sophomore album, Because The Internet, the "Sweatpants" rapper deleted all tweets and Instagram photos, leaving his profile photos blacked out.
