"Nothin' leftover so I came back to the land with my homie

Lil B

and half of my bands... No sleep, stayin' up real late with my mans and out in

Chicago

droppin' sh*t off the top. They thought after

this sh*t would just stop. What's their problem? What's, what's their problem?" former

Chance The Rapper

ferociously rhymes on

"Last Dance"'s

introductory bars; having previously described his 6-track

Free (Based Freestyles Mixtape)

recorded with eccentric Internet personality/rapper and motivational speaker

Lil B

as a "full-fledged album... it's a classic... it's a masterpiece."

Free

was supposedly recorded in one marathon day-long session, prior to

Chance

's performance at last month's

Pitchfork Music Festival

, with completely off the dome bars and absolutely no pre-written verses "made the moment [they] met." "

@chancetherapper

HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE. BE THE FIRST TO LISTEN!!!"

@LILBTHEBASEDGOD

exuberantly wrote upon

Free

's surprise Wednesday afternoon release, which has been self-described as a "based freestyle album."

It almost plays out like a laid-back, stream of consciousness collection of random, yet well-assembled on the fly ideas, which I would compare to a perfect organic mixture of

Chance The Rapper & Lil B

's individual styles; there are components lifted from

Chance

's mainstream, but still vaguely left-field,

Acid Rap

and

Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment

-assisted "debut"

Surf

mixed in with

Lil B

's seemingly infinitely prolific, self-empowering weirdo

"based"

rapping style.

Urban Dictionary

effectively defines

Lil B

's positively reclaimed term

based

as, "when you don't care what people think; it's a way of life; doing what you want; how [you] want; wearing what [you] want." While little is know about the mysterious production work and features within
