The "Child of God" video shows Chance the Rapper write lyrics as artist Naìˆla Opiangah creates a painting.

The song features Moses Sumney and is Chance the Rapper's first single of 2022.

"Tonight I release my first solo song since The Heart & The Tongue. This song is about confidence, purpose and process," Chance the Rapper wrote on Instagram.

"Thank you @bouenguidi for believing in me and working with me to create this very vulnerable piece, I am eternally grateful for and in awe of your gifts," he said. "To the rest of the world, just do your thing."

The Child of God painting will be on exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago through March 29.

In a statement, Chance the Rapper and Opiangah said the "Child of God" project is a "candid representation" of the exchanges between two creative voices from different but complementary backgrounds.

"It's a visualization of our mirrored experience," the pair said.
