Skrillex Plays New Collaboration With Chance the Rapper

At his show in Brooklyn on Feb. 10, Skrillex surprised the audience by unveiling a collaboration in the works with rising Chicago artist Chance the Rapper. The song has no title or expected release date but fans can only wonder if this is what the two were up to when producer Mike WiLL Made It posted a photo of the three entertainers to his Instagram. In a recent interview with XXL Magazine, Skrillex also mentioned that the three were "all working on projects together."

 The untitled song begins with Chance singing a melody over synth instrumentals. Chance raps to build up to Skrillex's drop, and takes from Notorious B.I.G. with his hook "Ask you what your interests are/ Who you be with?" While Chance keeps his normal rapping/singing flow, the song differs from both his typical hip-hop and Skrillex's typical dubstep beats, instead adopting a smoother, electronic and jazz instrumental. Listen below.


 Since Skrillex played this live, I have reason to believe that this is not the way the actual song will sound when it is released. However, either way I am both excited for the release of this song as well as for the release of future collaborations between Skrillex, Chance the Rapper, and Mike WiLL Made It.
