Two of hip-hop’s buzzy newcomers may be joining forces. Childish Gambino hints that he and Chance the Rapper are in the studio working on a new EP together.
Gambino took to Twitter to make the announcement. “now that chance finally released his verse on “worst guys”, maybe he can hurry up and finish the rest of our EP. #hinthint,” he tweeted over the weekend.
Chance performed his lost ‘The Worst Guys’ verse during his set at Governors Ball this weekend in New York City.
So when will this new project see the light of day? There’s no word on a release date just yet but by the looks of Childish Gambino’s tweet, it’s up to Chance to get back in the studio to complete his part.
This wouldn’t be the first time the two have collaborated together. Chance featured Childish on ‘Favorite Song,’ a track on his ‘Acid Rap’ mixtape. And the latter put Chance on his song ‘They Don’t Like Me,’ off his ‘Royalty’ mixtape.
Both rappers have had a busy 2014. Amid battling tonsillitis earlier this year, Chance was named as a 2014 XXL Freshman, collaborating with artists like Justin Bieber. Gambino has been hard at work promoting his ‘Because the Internet’ album via his Deep Web Tour. The actor-rapper openly had issues with his label’s promotion of the project and has stated that he wants to go another route for his next release.
