In a move similar to that of the one Beyonce pulled in late 2013, Chicago lyricist Chance The Rapper may possibly release his upcoming Surf album without warning. The wordsmith spoke on the album during an interview with comedian and fellow Chicago native, Hannibal Buress for Interview magazine.
He compared the album, which he created with The Social Experiment, to “a Beyoncé kind of thing” and added that he can’t reveal the release date.
“The album is very much so a Beyoncé kind of thing. I can’t say the date of the project,” Chance said during his interview with Buress. “But, I can say that it’s super dope.”
Chance also dropped another interesting tidbit during the interview when he revealed that he auditioned for the role of Dr. Dre in the upcoming N.W.A. biopic, Straight Outta Compton. Unfortunately for the rapper, he says “it wasn’t in God’s plan.”
“I actually did try out for the N.W.A. movie…I read for Dre. But it wasn’t in God’s plan,” he said.
Earlier this year, Chance The Rapper and The Social Experiment released a small Surf teaser with the release of their “Nothing Came To Me” silent film, which featured English model Cara Delevigne.

Kinda kills the surprise.
Thanks for telling us what Chance said, then immediately providing the quote, in case we missed it the first time. Excellent journalism.
Haha Happy I’m not the only one that saw that. I have horrible writing skills, but I still saw that and thought “did I just read the same line twice” lol
If it’s announce is it still a surprise?
But, haven’t the guy whos writing this article, read a single interview with chance lately? “Surf” is not a chance album. Chance appears on surf, donnie trumpet is the mastermind on it. Its a donnie trumpet project with Chance appearing on it. But well, who cares about details like who to credit an album for.
