Chance The Rapper drops his debut album “The Big Day”.
Chance The Rapper, who has been in the game for about six years now, has three solo projects which are all considered mixtapes. Today Chance The Rapper decided to drop his debut album called “The Big Day” which he had been teasing for a long time.
With Acid Rap, Chance The Rapper catapulted himself into the spotlight for the first time in over six years. Within that time, the rapper has established himself as a global sensation in his own right, despite the fact that he has yet to release a studio album. He’s been releasing new music and teasing his “owbum” since the release of Coloring Book in 2016. The record was supposed to be released at midnight, but that didn’t happen. Chance finally releases his first official studio album, The Big Day, after a little hiatus.
“The whole album has been inspired by the day that I got married and how I was dancing that day,” he said in an interview with Zane Lowe. “[…] It was the hardest I ever danced in my life and I’m a great longtime dancer. Everything in it is all the different styles of music that make me want to dance and remind me of that day and remind me of that night and all those people that were there.”
The project contains 22 records with guest appearances from Nicki Minaj, Shawn Mendes, Gucci Mane, and more. Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon and Francis and the Lights (“The Big Day”), Ben Gibbard (“Do You Remember”), Timbaland (“Big Fish”), Randy Newman (“5 Year Plan”), Shawn Mendes (“Ballin Flossin'”), Nicki Minaj (“Slide Around”), MadeinTYO and DaBaby (“Hot Shower”), Megan Thee Stallion (“Handsome”), John L. Smith (“Handsome”), Megan According to Pitchfork, Chance’s father, Ken Bennett, is featured on the song “Eternal,” and Broadway veteran Oscar Hammerstein II is credited on “Zanies and Fools,” making it the Broadway great’s second posthumous pop nomination of 2019, following Ariana Grande’s “7 Rings.”
