Chance the Rapper has surprised fans and released a collection of four new songs!
Earlier this week, it was reported the 25-year-old was planning to drop a new album before Saturday, when he performs at the Special Olympics concert in his hometown of Chicago. “I’m excited for everybody to get that. It’s going to come out just in time for the Special Olympics,” he told Greg Kot in an interview with Chicago Tribune.

But the following day he rescinded via tweet, writing, “Sorry no album this week, def been in the stu tho.”
In his first track called, I Might Need Security the emcee demands the resignation of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, “And Rahm you done, I’m expecting a resignation, and open investigation on all these paid vacations for murderers.”
He then reveals that he acquired the news and culture website Chicagoist. “I bought the Chicagoist/ Just to run you racist bitches out of business,” the Chicago native rhymes.

Chance is currently reportedly working on a full-length with Kanye West.
