Chicago hip-hop artist Chance the Rapper has finally released his long-awaited Surf album to the masses Friday (May 29) for absolutely no cost at all.
The seasoned rapper’s newest release is currently available on iTunes for free-99.
It’s been a full two years, a lot of touring, and one borderline life-changing Lollapalooza performance since Chance the Rapper’s Acid Rap, and finally we get the next project with his name on it: Surf. I won’t say “follow-up” to Acid Rap because it’s not truly Chance The Rapper’s album. This is Donnie Trumpet’s album, and the debut project for his Social Experiment band, for which Chance does the vocals and some of the arrangements. (USA Today)

Medical complications last month forced Chance to reschedule some performances.
Chance is resting and hoping to make a full recovery soon, We apologize for the shows we are rescheduling & will keep you updated.

Last month, Chance and the Social Experiment treated fans to their new “Planes” remix.
Earlier this year, Jeremih released his single “Planes”, which features a guest spot from J. Cole. Now, Chance the Rapper has teamed with his band the Social Experiment (Lido, Peter Cottontale, and Donnie Trumpet) to remix the song. It features a verse from Chance that invokes the Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory song “(I’ve Got a) Golden Ticket”. That’s it above. Chance the Rapper is headlining this year’s Pitchfork Music Festival on July 19 at Chicago’s Union Park. (Pitchfork)
