What Does This Mysterious Childish Gambino Tweet And Countdown Clock Mean?

Childish Gambino has been silent online for about a month now, but that changed -- briefly -- early Wednesday morning (Jan. 7).

After deleting all of his tweets and Instagram posts in December, Donald digitally re-emerged for the first time this morning, posting a quickly-deleted tweet (screenshot below, though) that only provided a link to a site.

The site that Gambino linked to is entirely black -- except for a little countdown clock in the right corner, with white numbers. Barring some sort of reset, the clock will strike zero at 3 a.m. on Friday morning, January 9.

And then what will happen?

Some sort of announcement? A new music video? The long-awaited Childish Gambino and Chance the Rapper EP? Or, maybe, nothing?

We'll find out soon enough.
