The clip is Chance's second from Acid Rap following "Juice," which is conceptually similar to this video in that it has Chance roaming carefree in a heavily trafficked metropolis.

"Juice" has earned 250,000 views on YouTube and was written up by the likes of Pitchfork and NPR.

Acid Rap sees release in April. Watch "Good Ass Intro," featuring local belters BJ The Chicago Kid and Lili K., below:
