Hurricane Wisdom has tapped Chance the Rapper for his new song and accompanying video for "Barbie Doll" — check it out below.

In addition to the new song, the Florida rapper has announced his upcoming album, Weather the World, slated for release on June 5 via Rebel and gamma.

"Barbie Doll" is Wisdom’s first-ever collaboration with Chance, who, according to a press release, is one of Wisdom’s favorite artists. The same release calls the song a "perfect merger" of the two rappers' respective styles, "with a soulful, bouncing piano-led beat laying the groundwork for nimble staccato verses by both artists."

Weather the World follows Wisdom’s 2025 album, Perfect Storm, which peaked at No. 126 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, and his deluxe, Perfect Storm: Sorry 4 the Rain, which peaked at No. 54.

Wisdom has also released a slew of viral singles over the last year, including "My Life," which garnered 3.8 million views, "Dangerous" with 3 million views, "Over Now" with 4.5 million views, "Living Up" with 2.3 million views, and last month’s "Enough" with 1.6 million views.

Chance the Rapper seems to be in the giving mood at the moment. Earlier this week, the Chicago MC was among the many celebrities who purchased artwork during the Gordon Parks Foundation’s 20th anniversary gala.

On Tuesday night (May 19) at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York, attendees at the foundation’s 20th anniversary dinner and auction included Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys, Joey Badass, John Legend, Colin Kaepernick, and Sinners star Delroy Lindo, some of whom also purchased artwork in honor of Parks.

The legendary photographer and multidisciplinary artist was a leading photojournalist throughout the 1940s and 1970s and passed away in 2006 at 93 years old.

Parks also photographed the 1956 work that Chance — who was present at the event as a gala awardee and performer — purchased for $150,000, titled "At Segregated Drinking Fountain, Mobile, Alabama." Chance bought the iconic piece for his daughters, Kensli, 10, and Marli, 6, to view.
