“Chance the Rapper’s Coloring Book is one of the strongest rap albums released this year, an uplifting mix of spiritual and grounded that even an atheist can catch the Spirit to.”
“Pulling from gospel tradition and his Chicago roots, Chance the Rapper delivers a hip-hop watershed.”
“Coloring Book is the gospel according to Chance the Rapper”
“When Chance The Rapper self-released his stunning mixtape ‘Acid Rap’ in 2013, it marked a watershed in hip-hop. Presaging Kendrick Lamar’s predilection for all things jazzy on ‘To Pimp A Butterfly’ by two years, it made for a gleeful return to rap’s daisy age. It also bought a much-needed DIY edge to a genre so often in thrall to major label whims. ‘Acid Rap’ was carefree and relentlessly soulful,”
“Chance The Rapper returns with a new mixtape fusing the sounds of jazz, hip hop, and gospel.”
