Last week Chance The Rapper hit us with "No Better Blues," a minimal arrangement with his crew The Social Experiment that we thought was merely a one-off from the home-studio. As it turns out, that might not be the case. In a recent interview with Billboard, the Chicago MC announced that he's got yet another free offering to follow-up his astral debut Acid Rap, which will arrive as the Surf LP by year's end, focusing on his right-hand trumpet man Nico Segal AKA Donnie Trumpet and the ensemble.

He also breaks into how thinly spread he's been over the year, how he's just about fed-up with performing tracks from Acid Rap and the impressive roster talent that he's been putting in work with/for, including Rick Rubin, Frank Ocean, J Cole, Francis Starlite, Emily King and so many more of the music game's brightest young talent. But he's certainly in no hurry to get anything out, focusing on the development of his live show instead of a new solo record. Read some of the most compelling clips from the interview below and head over to Billboard for the full script.

CTR on the 'Surf' LP : 

"We're working really closely with Francis Starlite from Francis and the Lights. He's been a really been a big help on Surf. Damn, I'm saying these things like people know it. Surf is the first project, which is coming out before the end of 2014. It's the first Social Experiment project. It's a big step for all of us all putting our heads together and letting Nico [Segal, a.k.a Donnie Trumpet] hold the reigns and carry it. There's a lot of great instrumentation. A lot of input from cool writers. I'm already saying too much."

On the star-studded cast for his upcoming projects : 

"Well, we worked with Migos. We worked with J. Cole. We did some work with Emily King just last week. Somebody who helped us out a lot with just getting into the project was Rick Rubin. And Frank Ocean. There's been a lot of just people in the studio watching us work almost like a house band. People come in just to watch us jam out."

On being in no rush to drop a solo record and working on the live show: 

"Well, that's the whole thing. For one, obviously, I'm in a band. The band has been backing me on a lot of the shows, so when you go to a Chance the Rapper show it's billed as a Chance the Rapper show, and even though you bought a ticket for a Chance the Rapper show, you end up going to a Social Experiment concert, you know? And you get the full experience of the musicality of four seasoned players. It's something different. It's something new. It's a bit of theater. It's a culmination of going to all these dope concerts and seeing cool Broadway plays. A lot of influence has come from The Lion King musical. You could probably tell if you listen to "Arthur." We've been trying to take in all these cool, different outside cultural experiences and make that into a free listenable project. That's the new thing."
