Acid Rap
Chance The Rapper
Acid Rap may not just be the best mixtape released this year, it could quite possibly be the most complete music project to come out of hip-hop this year. With an in-house production team and a concept surrounding the madness associated with recreational drug use, leaving high school to pursue an entertainment carer, losing and finding love, and a whole lot of crazed soul searching, Chance The Rapper put the rap game in an irreversible choke hold, and the “new school” upstarts now have a paramount gold standard. With sounds ranging from “Pusha Man” (witty, jovial and reckless) to the focused, metaphorical templates set with “Lost” and “Chain Smoker”, Chance has truly carved a lane for himself that could expand into one of the more enjoyable careers of the next decade.
