On the heels of his triumphant return with the release of Star Line, Grammy-winning independent innovator Chance the Rapper unveils the official music video for “Just a Drop,” a soulful single featuring Jay Electronica. The video showcases the Chicago artist’s vision as both a musician and director. Filmed in the outskirts of Los Angeles, the Chance-direct video features futuristic and desert landscapes, immersing viewers in a striking visual universe that complements the song’s potent lyrical commentary. Watch the new video below.

“Just a Drop” exemplifies Chance’s mastery of blending personal, social and spiritual themes. The track explores the inequities surrounding essential resources, using water and land as metaphors for systemic deprivation while highlighting resilience, community and hope. The gospel-infused chorus and lyrical depth reflect Chance’s signature ability to merge social commentary with optimism, drawing inspiration from both contemporary realities and biblical narratives.

With 16 more songs that align with “Just a Drop”, Chance the Rapper’s Star Line, out now, marks a landmark moment in Chance’s career. Considered a career-defining release, Star Line debuted at #2 on Spotify’s Top Albums Debut USA Chart and #3 globally, earning praise from both fans and critics. Its 17 tracks blend visionary lyricism, cultural reverence and sonic experimentation into a cohesive Black diasporic narrative.
