Chance The Rapper drops four new tracks and buys local press site
It might not be an album, but Chance The Rapper has kept fans happy with a surprise drop including four new tracks, one of which reveals his new venture.
"Work Out", “Wala Cam”, “I Might Need Security”, and “65th and Ingleside” are the four new tracks Chance The Rapper has decided to share ahead of his Special Olympics’ 50th Anniversary concert on Saturday.
"I Might Need Security" brings the biggest reveal of he four, as the rapper uncovers that he is the owner of dormant local press outlet The Chicagoist, rapping, "I bought the Chicagoistjust to run you racist bitches outta business.”
In an interview with Gothamist, Chance The Rapper explained, "I’m extremely excited to be continuing the work of the Chicagoist, an integral local platform for Chicago news, events and entertainment."
"I look forward to re-launching it and bringing the people of Chicago an independent media outlet focused on amplifying diverse voices and content."
He also makes reference to collaborator Donald Glover (aka Childish Gambino) on "65th & Ingleside", "All my raps was about suspension / Then one day Donald took me on tour / Young, broke Chano ain’t broke no more.”
