Surf is the long-awaited collaboration between the unbilled Chance the Rapper, his band The Social Experiment, and musical ally Donnie Trumpet (a.k.a. Nico Segal). Chance gets his time to shine, spitting acrobatic rhymes throughout, but clearly this is a team effort focused on moving minds and butts. Flecks of big-band instrumentation lend sparkle, while folks like Erykah Badu, Busta Rhymes, Janelle Monáe, and Big Sean provide cameos. The vibe is reminiscent of Native Tongues or Soulquarians, a positive space to submit to creative freedom and unpredictable flow, just like the ocean itself.

The first single off The Social Experiment’s project Surf . Chance appears all over the track powered by vibrant live instrumentation – rapping and singing throughout what seems to be an ode to Chance’s grandmother and her lifestyle and personality.
For many black Americans, grandmothers are the staple matriarchs of the family, and the foundation of identities.
