The past three months have brought us more new Chance The Rapper music than we had in the entirety of 2014. First there was Surf, the collaborative, experimental project helmed by Donnie Trumpet and The Social Experiment, then just last week Chance paired up with Lil B for a charming "freestyle mixtape," and now we've got a brand new track out of the blue. "Israel (Sparring)" features his frequent collaborator Noname Gypsy and was produced by Cam O'bi.

Dropping gems left and right, Chance uses a low-key delivery while demanding repeat listens with deep lines like, "Fuck the Pharaoh and the Pharisees, Moses is back / I don't need to see a Sphinx to know their noses was black."

Let us know what you think.

Quotable Lyrics

Sparring is training, brah
Ramses watching raining frogs
Jigga watching Damon
Damon watching Wayans brahs
