Chance The Rapper Performs New Song From Third Mixtape

With standout verses on both the new Kanye West and Macklemore albums, the number of heads checking for Chance the Rapper might be at an all time high. It's been a long minute since Chance last dropped a mixtape, 2013's Acid Rap, but clips continue to emerge from the web that tease new music, tracks that are presumably off his next release.

While Chance himself posted a pair of videos to Snapchat back in January showing him in the studio jamming out to a new track, the above clip, showing Chance at a show in Austin, Texas, is just starting to make the rounds. The footage, which was recorded on a fan's cell phone, is trademark Chance, with horn-filled instrumentation, brief periods of scatting and plenty of harmonizing. The audio isn't clear enough to make out specific lyrics and while Chance says the title at the video's start, it too is just barely indecipherable. He tells the crowd though not to worry about not knowing the words.

After premiering "Angels" with Saba on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert back in October, it seemed that Chance was preparing to roll out a full serving of new music, but in the time since, he's only released "Somewhere in Paradise" featuring Jeremih and R. Kelly. With a verse on the Tinashe and Snakehips tune "All My Friends" though and word of a possible collaboration with Lil Wayne, Chance is keeping busy. In late February, Chance was photographed alongside Akon, T-Pain and Detail in the studio, so there's no doubting that a Chance release, whatever the form or fashion, is on the way.
