Chance the Rapper’s Surf has finally arrived, in all its beautifully diverse-sounding and free-of-cost glory. As Chance told Billboard last year, the record is not so much his. It’s actually the first official project of his Social Experiment band, and the spotlight is on the group’s trumpet player, Donnie Trumpet. Of course, that doesn’t mean Chance isn’t featured on it — he’s all over it. (Actually, so is what seems like a majority of the hip-hop world and their mothers. The 16-track album showcases the likes of Busta Rhymes, Janelle Monáe, J. Cole, Big Sean, Quavo, and Erykah Badu, among others.) Chance’s next solo work is reportedly still on the way, and so are more of these Social Experiment projects. Always something to look forward to with this guy. Anyway, in the meantime, you can download and enjoy the much-anticipated Surf gratis here as well as stream it below:
