Chance The Rapper teases new song that will be released on Friday

Then Tuesday, Chance—born Chancelor Bennett—asked, "When can I drop the whole thing?" 

The answer is Friday:

"The Heart & The Tongue" will mark Chance's first release since December's joint-project with Jeremih titled Merry Christmas Lil' Mama: The Gift That Keeps on Giving.

The Chicago native was also featured on Justin Bieber's smash single "Holy," which dropped in September and ascended the charts.

The new track's teaser clip shows Chance firmly back in his bag with bars for days:

"My heart and tongue are fighting / My mind is undecided / It's not like Trump and Biden / It's more like something private / Like when yo' cousins fighting / One of 'em get excited / You can't just jump the gun and pick a side and jump inside it / Remember Pontius Pilate hung a God and justified it /  The truth is slow 'cause someone's always in a rush to hide it / The lies is golden 'cause the devil got a touch of Midas / The soul is brighter 'cause the Holy Ghost is ultraviolet / The tongue is violent when the spirit starts to hunger-strike it."

Chance's most recent solo full-length was his debut studio album The Big Day (July 2019). Prior to that, he had built an empire on a series of mixtapes—10 Day (2012), Acid Rap (2013) and Coloring Book (2016). His mainstream success as an independent artist has been groundbreaking, as he became the first unsigned artist to nab a Grammy best new artist as well as the first-ever to win best rap album for a streaming-only album in February 2017.
