Chance The Rapper and Joey Purp ‘Reboot’ with KAMI and Smoko Ono

Chicago is in the building. Chance The Rapper has always maintained a strong connection to his hometown roots, repping Chicago with a feverish intensity — but this one feels like a family affair.  Coming as the Coloring Book rapper’s latest move in a busy summer of releases, Chance hops on a SaveMoney blockbuster, “Reboot” with KAMI, producer Smoko Ono, and rapper Joey Purp.

Best known to be a parts of Vic Mensa‘s Chicago-based artist collective, KAMI, Purp, and Chance each provide their own distinct verse work, with Purp and Chance’s standing out over the dripping, hazy beat by Smoke Ono. “Reboot” comes amid a summer heavy on rap highlights, and “Reboot” definitely just made the list. Fans can look forward to the rest of KAMI’s forthcoming second album titled *Very Slight, slated to be released on September 14.
