Chance The Rapper, Brother Taylor Bennett Rap About Daughter on New Song 'Broad Shoulders'

It's hard to tell who's on which verse because these brothers sound so much alike, but either way it's a very personal song for both of them as they debut their first public collaboration.

Taylor told Rolling Stone that his older brother has been very encouraging of his work, and wants Taylor to form his own path and fan base outside of Chance's already booming star power.

"It's different having a sibling in the entertainment business," he said. "My thing with my brother is that he always wanted me to work on myself and create my own name before we got to work together. He always knew that I was great enough to get a fanbase and sell out shows and get a lot of views. It's a very meaningful song to our family and our next generation. Chance is now a father, and in the third verse, I speak about my niece - his daughter - so it's a really emotional and compassionate song."

Listen to the song now on SoundCloud.

The family connection definitely shines through on the album much like the rest of Chance's work this year, whether it's with Donnie Trumpet and the Social Experiment or his own solo releases.

"I've been too quick with the advice / I just wanna be right like a dad right," Chance raps on his verse before his brother follows up with his own words for his niece. "Watch her get older and older until she don't wanna be known as your daughter / Watch her get Instagram, instafriends, hips and fans / Call you when she hits rock bottom."

Taylor is working with producer Ludlow for what will be the young rapper's first major release with no samples. He's working with Max Schneider, Donnie Trumpet, Joey Purp and King Louie on the upcoming release.
