Frank Ocean Channels A$AP Rocky For His “Chanel” Remix

Frank Ocean’s new song “Chanel” played for almost an hour straight on the singer’s Beats 1 radio show on Friday night.

“My guy pretty like a girl/ And he got fight stories to tell/ I see both sides like Chanel/ See on both sides like Chanel”

The singer delivered, sharing a previously unheard song called “Chanel,” which you can listen to here on Tidal, or here on iTunes/Apple Music. Ocean also shared two Tumblr posts connected to the song. One had the lyrics in an abstract-seeming pattern.

During the hour show, a surprise remix featuring A$AP Rocky came from nowhere.

“Was such a good guy to Chanel/ ’til she caught me sleeping with Charel/ The Range, Royce, ring, like Pharrell/ Bling so she see that I’m for real/ Picture me, a fire burn in Hell/ Photography like David LaChapelle”

You can hear “Chanel” with ASAP Rocky, below. Rocky’s part begins at around the 3:44 mark.
