Chance the Rapper

Chance’s Coloring Book is one of the best-layered and strongest rap albums in recent years. An uplifting mix of spiritual and grounded that even an atheist can be shaken up!

Pulling from gospel tradition and his Chicago roots, Chance the Rapper delivers a hip-hop watershed. Coloring Book is the richest hip-hop album of 2016 so far, even better than Ye’s The Life of Pablo in my honest opinion.

Just like Pablo, gospel choirs are the backbone of this album. Reaching back to the very beginning of black music in America, Chance re-contextualizes one of the most enduring African-American art forms for 2016's most urgent one.

Coloring Book is a more rewarding listen than Drake's recently released VIEWS; it's nearly as adventurous as The Life of Pablo. In execution and focus, it comes as a joyful, praise-dancing partner to Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly.

It’s an album filled with love and positivity. A celebration of singing, harmonizing, human voices making a joyous noise together.
