Chance The Rapper appears to be teasing that some new music will arrive this week.
Chance took to Twitter yesterday (March 20) to share a cryptic post that read:Â âMy mind is decidedâ, alongside a date of March 24 – hinting that new music will arrive this Thursday.
The post was accompanied by a black and white picture of Chance staring at a blank wall.

Chance has been hinting at his return for some time in a series of Instagram posts where he’s shared images from apparent writing and recording sessions.
âHow bout a new one in March,â he wrote in February.
Chance also then shared a snippet of some new political music earlier this month, in which he rapped about the death of the first US President George Washington.
The track began with a symbolic narrative based around Washingtonâs death and his ownership of slaves. âGeorge Washington died at the dentist getting fillings/ He had slave teeth by the hundreds but bacteria by the millions,â Chance raps. It then pivots into modern subjects of violence, Black wealth, voting and more.
You can hear the 43-second clip below, which Chance uploaded to Instagram with the caption: âFelt cute might delete later.â
Chanceâs most recent release was as a featured artist on fellow Chicago rapper Supa Bweâs âACABâ last month, which also heard him explore political themes.
His last solo album was 2019âs âThe Big Dayâ. In a three-star review, NME called the record âa buoyant, cheerful project that looks back on his young, successful career through rose-tinted lenses but, ultimately, doesnât possess enough depth amidst a mishmash of production and features that make it too long-windedâ.
Last year Chance teamed up with Vic Mensa and Wyclef Jean on the politically charged single âShelterâ, shared the solo single âThe Heart & The Tongueâ, and released a concert film called Magnificent Coloring World.
He also appeared on the soundtrack for Space Jam: A New Legacy, linking up with John Legend and Symba for the track âSee Me Flyâ, and on Smoko Onoâs afrobeat-inspired âWinnersâ. His long-awaited team-up with R&B legend Dionne Warwick, âNothingâs Impossibleâ, was also finally released last year.
