Listen to ASAP Rocky's Remix of Frank Ocean's "Chanel"

In the middle of an hour of rewinds of "Chanel" on Beats 1 Radio, an ASAP Rocky verse popped up.

Frank Ocean's new song "Chanel" played for almost an hour straight on the singer's Beats 1 radio show on Friday night—by one count, the song was run back a stunning 18 times in a row.

But only twice during that run did a special surprise pop up. An ASAP Rocky verse appeared out of nowhere about 45 minutes in, and then showed up once again before everything was done. Fans were puzzled at first.

YO IS THAT ASAP ROCKY ON CHANEL OR ARE MY EARS DECEIVING ME

Then many realized, due to both Ocean's mercurial nature and the lo-fi sound quality, that Rocky's verse was likely not intended for wide release.

frank really played the chanel remix w/ asap rocky once and will probably never play it again

But, of course, the remixed version quickly made its way into the world. You can hear "Chanel" with ASAP Rocky, below. Rocky's part begins at around the 3:44 mark.
