Chance The Rapper is taking time to prove the scope of his skills aren’t limited to being behind mics but being behind cameras as well.

Via his new single and video, “The Heart & The Tongue,” the GRAMMY winner plays double duty as performer and director.

Shot at his music and film studio (called The House Of Kicks), ‘Heart’ – which acts as Chance’s directorial debut – shows him reflecting on everything from politics to personal conflicts as he explores his studio and home theater.

Speaking on the song and visual, the 27-year-old stated:

“I’m proud to be releasing new music again and even prouder to be honing my film skills, and getting better behind the camera.”
