You’re gonna be seeing a lot of Chance related posts in the near future. Maybe once a year I come across a new artist that has the ability to consume my interest. After listening to his Acid Rap mixtape (check it out a few posts below), Chance clearly stands out in my mind as the most creative lyricist out. Everything about his style, his flow, his storytelling, his cracked melodies, even his ad libs that spaz-out between screeching yelps and lullabied whispers, puts him in a unique lane that should have other artists worried. Even Kendrick needs to step his game up. Yeah, I went there.
If you don’t have time to listen through the entire Acid Rap mixtape, do yourself a favor and at least listen to tracks 3 and 8 (“Cocoa Butter Kisses” and “Favorite Song”). You can stream them from the download link I’ve provided. Chance spits the first verse on both tracks. But don’t sleep on the features in both of them either, which includes Vic Mensa, Twista, and Childish Gambino. They each bring their A-game, clearly aware of company they are in with Chance in the studio.
If those 2 tracks don’t entice you to download the entire tape, then we have nothing left to discuss. Please don’t come back.

Been listening to more and more of this kid lately. Chance’s style is totally unique, with this broken-melodic, hyperactive flow. I’ve been looking forward to this tape, mostly because I was curious to see if it was just a few good versus I just happened to stumble upon, or if he could actually keep it up for an entire project. He definitely doesn’t disappoint. Don’t sleep on this dude, he’s gonna come fast out of left field. Won’t be long before you hear a ton a kids imitating his style, make sure you know where it’s originating from.
In a radio interview last week, Drake promised 2 new tracks would be coming this week. Here goes the first drop. Technically I guess it’s a Khaled track with features from Drake, Rozay, and Wayne. No really sure how they determined he was the headliner, especially when Khaled’s not even responsible for the production. That credit goes to Boi-1da and 40.
Ray Hudson Goes HAM Over Messi Goal
This is too amazing to leave out. If I were dropping a mixtape, this would be the intro. Fucking epic word choices. I tip my hat to Ray Hudson, bloody poetry that was.
