The two share the spotlight on the track.

It's never a bad idea to surprise fans with some new music to help them get over the middle of the week hump. Chance The Rapper and Lil Yachty dropped their "Atlanta House Freestyle" today, a track where both artists share the spotlight. There's no hook or bridge; the two rappers simply take turns going back and forth as they spit bars until the song's end. 

Chance and wife Kristen are preparing for the arrival of their new baby, but Chance shared with fans earlier today that he's been working overtime on new music. He thanked his wife for holding things down at home while allowing him to make magic in the studio. "My wife gave me the go-ahead to put everything else on hold and really go to work on my debut album," Chance wrote. "Its been a lil hard at times, I obviously miss Chicago and family and working on other stuff, but there truly is no joy like making a project. Somehow I always forget that I'm so, so good at this."

Quotable Lyrics

I could have had plaques
I was too busy flossin'
I was too busy crossing the street
I got hits I got drips like a faucet
