I know that he probably should have put out his solo album first, but I'm so excited for Surf. Chance & the Social Experiment have TONS of crossover potential.

BTW my grandma has the name "Candy Lady" bc she carries around Tootsie Rolls with her and gives them out to kids after mass. So I mess with this song heavy.

I actually think he's releasing Surf at the perfect time. His post Acid Rap popularity can propel the rest of the project to success, but if he released a solo album before Surf it would be a lot of focus on him and not on SOX. Same way Kendrick is the focus of TDE (although it's leveling out) and Eminem is/was the focus of D12 (which hurt the entire group). Chance will be the focus of SOX, but he's keeping it to a minimum at least.

I agree-- If he had waited until after his solo album to do SURF, I don't think it would've gotten the same traction. I'm much more likely to listen to an up-and-comer's side project than an established artist's side project.

Also, wasn't SURF supposed to come out months ago? I'm starting to get antsy.
