Chance the Rapper has partnered with Nike for a new commercial/short film directed by Hiro Murai entitled "Unlimited Together." It's dedicated to the USA men's and women's basketball teams and features a brand new verse from Chance, who raps over a sparse piano melody. "We want a W, we tired of picking different sides/I got your jersey just a different size/We all want you to be a buzzer beater/Find us a leader far from Silent Bob's and Cousin Skeeter's," he spits with passion.
The song Chance performs is called "We the People" and was made specifically for the commercial and Nike's "Unlimited Campaign." The men's and women's basketball teams are currently in Rio for the Olympics and are looking to score USA some gold. As you'd expect, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant, DeAndre Jordan, Paul George, Maya Moore, Diana Tuarasi, and others star in the commercial.
"Nike celebrates the strength of unity and power of team," the caption reads with the video. A spokesperson for Nike shared a statement with Complex regarding this Nike x Chance collaboration. "Chance is an artist who delivers an inspiring point of view through his music. He embodies the voice of a new generation, and we felt his level of authenticity around the subject of unity was a great fit for the film." This will definitely give you chills and even spark some patriotism in your heart. Check out the video above and the lyrics to the song below via Genius.
