# Chance The Rapper Preps Next Album

Chance The Rapper revealed to [*Billboard*](http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6289299/chance-the-rapper-new-album-surf-interview) that he is prepping a series of projects over the next few months with his band, the Social Experiment including a new LP titled *Surf*.

Dropping later this year, it will be free, and will showcase his trumpet player Nico Segal aka Donnie Trumpet. It will be Chance’s first new project since 2013’s critically-acclaimed mixtape, *Acid Rap*.

Details are limited, but he has been in the studio with the likes of J. Cole, Migos, Frank Ocean and Rick Rubin.

“It’s a big step for all of us all putting our heads together and letting Nico hold the reigns and carry it,” Chance tells *Billboard*. “There’s a lot of great instrumentation. A lot of input from cool writers.”

In addition to new music, Chance is also gearing up for a new stage show to jump start 2015, which he says is inspired by The Lion King musical. “My new shows are almost like watching a movie. It’s like going to a play or something,” he said.
