In an interview with Complex Magazine, Childish Gambino talked on a number of topics from his upcoming mixtape, his new television show and his EP with Chance the Rapper.
Chance the Rapper took to his Instragram today to preview some of his new and never before heard music. However, there no details yet on the when we can expect to hear more but the snippets were tracks in collaboration with The Social Experiment (a producer group comprised of Nico Segal, Nate Fox, and Peter CottonTale). With fans hungry for an opportunity to finally buy a physical copy of a Chance the Rapper project (as he as only released free mixtapes), these snippet will have to tide us all over meanwhile.
Raury wasn’t the only rapper from the Stone Mountain Georgia area to deliver a great freestyle this week.

Check out the video and some of our favorite lines (and our best Rap Genius-ish annotations) from 4-minute freestyle.
In our inaugural summer, we got to see, enjoy and cover a lot of great shows during the festival season.

Chance the Rapper’s prayers have been answered, as he has finally met Kanye West. The Chicago rapper, who previously led a brief Twitter hashtag campaign to try to meet Kanye when they both performed at Bonnarro earlier this year, took to his Instagram to post a picture of the two.
