Chance The Rapper Working With Stephen Colbert

But nothing could have prepared us for what might be the most exciting collaboration to date: a song with Stephen Colbert. “Me and Stephen Colbert have been working on a song together, and it’s gonna be released very soon”, Chance said. “He’s wonderful. I can’t get that deep into it, but he’s awesome”.

Yesterday, the musician confirmed the release of the new track, announcing via Twitter that it would premiere on tonight’s episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert at 11:35pm EST. His follow up project Acid Rap dropped the following year to critical acclaim, proving that Chance might be a force to be reckoned with in the in rap game.

I’ve joked about The Late Show’s musical tastes mirroring my own, what with Kendrick Lamar, Run The Jewels and Raury all performing during the show’s early run.

“I’m working on a lot of music, and a lot of individual projects right now”. And while this collaboration wasn’t ready yet, on Monday night Chance instead performed his new single “Angels” for The Late Show audience.
