There is no better male female team in hip-hop right now than Chicago’s Chance The Rapper and Noname Gypsy. Everytime the two get on the same track, it’s fire. Noname had a stand out verse on Acid Rap, the project with introduced Chance to a lot of his current fans. Then Noname also held her own with all the rap giants who contributed features on Surf. Most recently too, the two also teamed up on one of Chance and Lil B’s tracks (check out our review of that mixtape here). This time around, the two rapping poets have again linked up, for Chance’s new track ‘Isreal’. And if you couldn’t guess, it’s another amazing collab.
Stream ‘Isreal’ below.

The definition of a based freestyle is simple: spitting bars in a stream-of-consciousness manner that can tell a story or simply express the emcee’s emotions. On Free (BASED FREESTYLE MIXTAPE), a collaboration between based-originator Lil B and rising superstar Chance The Rapper, each rapper opts for one of the aforementioned takes on based freestyles and runs with it for the EP’s half an hour of hip-hop at its most eclectic.

Oakland R&B singer Kehlani is on the come up, and if she isn’t your new favorite singer already, she likely will be soon. Not only does she have a track with the Based God, but everything she has released has been good, if not great (download her latest project here). One of our favorite records with Kehlani though is her collaboration with Chicago’s Chance The Rapper, titled ‘This Way’. And today, that record now has an official music video, as Kehlani recruited Chance for the video to her You Should Be Here single.
Watch Kehlani’s official video for ‘This Way’, directed by Austin Vesely, below.

Is Chance The Rapper going to be Chance The Father? It sure looks that way, as earlier today Chance and his manager shared a photo hinting that a little Chance is on the way. “Coming soon. 👪❤️,” wrote Chance on Instagram. “Congrats on your journey guys. I love you! @chancetherapper” added Chance’s manager Pat. Perhaps the two are having fun with fans on social media, or just maybe Chance’s first child is really on the way. Either way, we are sure Chance will make a great father and we wish his family the best of luck!
Check out the potential first photo of Chance Jr. below.

Thank You Based God! Lil B The Based God is currently in Chicago for a private concert that took place last night with OVO’s iLoveMakonnen, and during his stay he paid a visit to Chicago’s own, Chance The Rapper. With this meet up came great news, as Chance and Lil B both announced that they made an album together, that Lil B describes as a “based freestyle album.” No word on when the album will be released (let’s just hope that it does get released), but it will be cool to see how the two work together, while taking on Lil B’s unique rap flow.
Check out Lil B and Chance’s tweets below and stay tuned for more information!

Chance The Rapper is thanking Yeezus today, as last night Kanye West, who Chance publicly been a huge fan of ever since his come up, gave a big shout-out to Chance during his performance at Ottawa’s Bluesfest. Although to two have been hanging out a good amount lately (Chance even brought out Kanye and Vic Mensa for one of his Open Mike events), this is the first time Kanye publicly gave a shout-out to the young Chicago rapper. In an Instagram video from Bob Zegler, a member of Chance’s team, Chance is ecstatic in his priceless reaction to Ye’s kind words, calling Chance one of “the most talented young new artists.” “Let’s go! That’s all I needed!”, you can hear Chance saying from the soundboard, as he realizes the Kanye-stimulus-package is incoming.
Watch Chance’s reaction below.

Before the explosion his free album Acid Rap caused in early 2013, Chance the Rapper was a bubbling rapper whose name didn’t ring many bells outside his homeland of Chicago. His friends, obviously, were even more anonymous to the public eye, which is a statement that definitely doesn’t ring true today. Acid Rap was one of the most acclaimed, celebrated, and downright refreshing projects dropped in recent rap history, and Chance the Rapper to this day has yet to follow it up with any kind of solo project, paid-for single, or even any kind of record deal. Instead, Chance’s idea of consistency existed in touring his Acid Rap material as much as possible, collaborating and writing music for other artists, existing as an internet entity that exudes relevance without a label or management firms, but moreover, it existed in the idea of making music with his friends, and pushing his musical ensemble to the spotlight with him. Now, 758 days later, Chance’s horn-specialist Donnie Trumpet and the Social Experiment band (Peter Cottontale, Nate Fox, Greg “Stix” Landfair Jr., and Chance the Rapper) have released the long-awaited, frequently teased project, Surf.
