The sort-of follow up to his 2013 mixtape Acid Rap is finally here for Chance The Rapper. I say sort of because it’s not exactly just Chance, but a shift in focus towards his live band, The Social Experiment, with a heavy spotlight on trumpet player Nico “Donnie Trumpet” Segal.
The 16 track release is, in true Chance style, free for downloading right now, and spans a multitude of genres as each keeps you guessing in the best way possible. It also features some other incredible and huge artists like Busta Rhymes, Erykah Badu, Janelle Monae, Raury, J Cole and many more.
Chance has always done things a little differently, and Surf is no different. It is an extraordinary collection of songs – especially Wanna Be Cool and Sunday Candy – and continues a movement in hip hop which pushes away from your usual styles into not necessarily new, but almost forgotten areas.
