    I can understand why you gave up because it seems like he hasn't been doing anything since Acid Rap. He actually has been. He has had plenty of features.

    These are all songs/features he's done within the past year:

    Lady Friend (feat. Donnie Trumpet) (Released for Valentine's Day)


    No Better Blues


    Kehlani - The Way


    Jeremih - Planes Remix


    Towkio - Heaven Only Knows


    Jordan Bratton - Prisoner


    Nosaj Thing - Cold Stares


    Lucki Eck$ - Stevie Wonder


    There's features w/ Action Bronson and Madonna that you've probably heard too. He's actually been pretty active working with lesser known artists.

    Also, I never said that those songs are good or bad. Just wanted to post them to show that he hasn't been under a rock since Acid Rap.

    Just want to point some things out that we should expect from the album.

    For the full article: http://www.thefader.com/2015/01/30/heres-what-we-know-about-the-social-experiments-new-album-surf

    1. You won't know which tracks will feature Chance
    The group's decision to not indicate which tracks actually feature the rapper drives that point home. Donnie tells Nosnitsky, "If [people] only wanna listen to the songs with Chance The Rapper, they're gonna have to listen to the whole project cover-to-cover."

    2. Surf's target audience is "grandmas and babies"
    The influences that inform the collective's sound are wide-ranging, and its intended audience is equally diverse. As Nosnitsky notes, "the record splits the difference between spirituals and lullabies." While he thinks the album's intricacies and allusions might be lost on those two demographics, he remembers Chance's assurances that it evolves with repeat listens: "It might just take a little time," he said.

    3. You should expect loads of features
    When The Social Experiment played him passages of the album, Nosnitsky noted how Chance "seems to strategically skip around certain tracks as if to conceal the presence of more prominent stars."

    4. A Chicago session yielded 610 tracks for one song
    Surf is a whole lot to take in. Most tracks are "tangled and packed" with singers and instrumentalists. The band, as Nosnitsky suggests, prioritize "stacked sonic architecture" over traditional song structure. He writes that Surf is "a logical extension of what Chance was doing on Acid Rap, with the most organic elements of that album teased further out of the typical rap production framework and blown out to their most grandiose extremes.

    5. But a solo Chance album is coming after Surf—at some point
    The record doesn't have a name yet, but GQ claims it will feature the likes of Andre 3000, J. Cole, and Frank Ocean.

    "accoridng to wpg", lol, also according to chance himself. (btw, never said he isn't "overly involved", just that he isn't rapping on every song.

    seeing as his whole schtick is putting his friends before himself, if that's the cover, that's super lame.

    Does the Bronson chorus taint it a bit for you?
