Well, it ain't Troy and Abed in the Morning!
What it IS is a provocative song with a a video featuring a lot of Jim Crow imagery. The song, which was a breakthrough song and Donald Glover's biggest hit to date, won four Grammys, including Record and Song of the Year.
The song itself moves between African-style folk, gospel, and dark trap rhythms, and it is exceptionally well constructed. The lyrics - which address gun violence and police brutality, among other things - are not always easy to hear, the video difficult to watch at times. Please, watch and listen anyway. You'll be glad you did.

6 May 2020 -The Darling Buds - Hit the Ground
Remember music programs when they made the artists lipsync?
On this ninth annual Darling Buds Day, we go back to the late 80's and Top of the Pops, where there were no cables or microphone cords to trip over and the band sounded studio-fresh.
They STILL rocked it.
There was an official video for this song, too. This way, you can hear the whole song.
Will we be able to do this in Year 10? Well, the Darling Buds are rumoured to be in the studio, so I am guessing we will.
