“Good Ass Job” was supposed to be the aptly titled final entry into Kanye West’s “The College Dropout” series, but instead it’s apparently morphed into a theoretical union of master and pupil— a.k.a, West and Chance the Rapper. Kanye himself announced the joint project during Chano’s Chicago open mic session in September of 2018. During an appearance on “The Joe Budden Podcast” a month later, Chano confirmed that work the project had yet to begin. It’s hard not to be tantalized at the thought of Chance and West linking for an entire project, especially with the way both infuse their music with gospel.

Plans for “RTJ4” were first announced in 2017. A year later, El-P updated fans saying the group was working on the “grimiest, rawest record we possibly can” and stamped 2019 as the year it would drop. Now 2020 seems to be go time.

All eyes now turn to Normani’s debut solo album to see if she can match the success of her former Fifth Harmony- bandmate Camila Cabello.
