We’ve got a Chicago rap collaboration for the ages today, with Chance the Rapper and Common hopping on Lil’ Herb’s street anthem “Fight or Flight” for a transcendent remix.

Behind a soulful, understated instrumental by Brian “All Day” Miller, Herb, Chano and Common Sense each take turns spitting about the brutality of Chicago life. The track is equal parts uplifting anthem and grim slice of life reality rap.

Each MC puts their own spin on the track and more than holds their own, but Chance’s unique wordplay really resonates on a more somber track like this and the anger is apparent in every word of Herb’s standout verse.
