Dev Hynes is gearing up to drop his fourth studio album as Blood OrangeNegro Swan, and to coincide with its impending release, he stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! to play "Chewing Gum." Joined by both guests on the track, ASAP Rocky and Memphis rapper Project Pat, Hynes brought a throwback vibe to the performance.

This marks the official debut of the track, which was initially teased when Hynes released the star-studded guest list for the album recently. The beat-driven "Chewing Gum" combines Blood Orange's smooth, hazy style perfectly with a more rap-oriented sound, providing the perfect instrumental for Rocky while a sample of Pat swirls in and out of the song. Pat doesn't get a chance to rap his section of the track live, but it's great to see him on-stage with both Rocky and Hynes, regardless.

The album, which arrives Aug. 24, also features appearances by Puff Daddy, Tei Shi, Steve Lacy of the Internet, Georgia Anne Muldrow, and transgender rights activist Janet Mock, among others. Next month, Hynes will set off on a North American and European tour in support of the album starting with a performance at Westward Music Festival in Vancouver on Sept. 14, and ending with a show in Copenhagen, Denmark on Nov. 8.
