Just a day after announcing plans to bring his Mothership tour to the United States in summer 2014, Skrillex has released his long-awaited collaboration with Chicago emcee Chance The Rapper.

Titled “Coast Is Clear,” the mashup fans have been waiting to hear since it was first teased at the beginning of February does not disappoint. Skrillex has crafted a beat that plays well with Chance’s genre-bending rhyme scheme, resulting in a fast-paced and infectious dance offering that feels heavily influence from the golden age of pop music. It’s undoubtedly EDM, but there are bits of jazz and soul thrown in as well, which makes “Coast Is Clear” a bit of an Acid Rap 2.0. You can stream the track below.

Skrillex has announced plans to release a new album titled Recess on March 18, and as far as we know “Coast Is Clear” is the first song off that record to find its way online. Visit iTunes to pre-order the album.
