Los Angeles electronic music veteran Nosaj Thing has tapped Chance The Rapper for his new single, "Cold Stares." The track, initially leaked under the title "Ish Illa," is muted, allowing Chance the (uh) opportunity to flit through the negative space with his free-form verse. The two had previously worked together Acid Rap, for which Nosaj produced "Paranoid." "Cold Stares" is the lead single from Fated, which is due out May 5. In the last half-decade, Los Angeles has become the intersection for hip-hop, electronic and beat music, and Nosaj has often found himself at the epicenter, producing tracks for the likes of Kendrick Lamar and Low End Theory/Project Blowed lynchpins like Nocando.
