Chance the Rapper's Social Experiment Album 'Surf' Is Here, for Free
Funk's been buttered all over this year's pop and hip hop—but how about jazz (other than those too-short spots on Kendrick's flawless To Pimp a Butterfly)? Donnie Trumpet & the Social Experiment—a Chicago band featuring Chance the Rapper, Lido, Peter Cottontale (not that Peter Cottontale) and, of course, Chance's buddy and co-conspirator Donnie Trumpet—is here to solve that.
The long-teased album, Surf, dropped by surprise in the wee hours between Thursday and Friday—just days after A$AP Rocky dropped A.L.L.A. a week early without notice. It's on iTunes as a free download right now, 16 songs, 52 minutes of shining weirdness. It's also streaming below.
