Despite their continued mainstream success, it seems The Chainsmokers haven’t lost their bite. The duo are on the cusp of the release of their fourth album, titled So Far So Good, and they’ve already begun road-testing previously unheard cuts from the effort.

The brief teaser reveals what The Chainsmakers are calling “one of the hardest drops on the album,” showcasing a scorching trap drop buoyed by thumping 808s.
