Chance The Rapper Drops ‘Bad Boys 2’ Via SMS, Keeps Star Line Wave In Motion

Chance The Rapper has always been known for his unconventional approach to music releases, and his latest move is no exception. On August 15, Chance surprised his fans with a text message announcing the release of his new single, "Bad Boys 2," featuring longtime collaborator Joey Purp. The message, sent to those subscribed to his community SMS, was a brief but electrifying alert.

The accompanying self-directed video, which pays homage to the cult classic film Bad Boys 2, sees Chance and Purp cruising through Miami, living out their own cinematic fantasies. The visuals are filled with high-end yachts, luxury cars, and a palpable sense of swagger.

The SMS release method is emblematic of Chance's direct connection with his fans, bypassing traditional channels to create an intimate, almost personal announcement. For followers of his SMS community, this was more than just a music video drop—it was a signal that Star Line, despite its ongoing delays, is still very much on the horizon.

Chance addressed the long wait in a recent interview, expressing that he’s in no rush to release the project until it's fully realized. The SMS drop of “Bad Boys 2” serves as both a teaser and a reassurance that when Star Line does arrive, it will be worth the wait.

In the meantime, fans are left with this stylish, cinematic gem—a reminder of Chance The Rapper's unique ability to blend personal engagement with bold, creative expression.
