Chance the Rapper’s long-awaited debut album is finally here.
The Chicago native has finally dropped his first-ever studio album, The Big Day, Friday. The 22-track album boasts a stellar list of special guests including John Legend, Shawn Mendes, Death Cab for Cutie’s Ben Gibbard, MadeinTYO, DaBaby, Megan Thee Stallion, Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon, Francis and the Lights, Taylor Bennett, Randy Newman, Timbaland, Smino, Gucci Mane and Nicki Minaj.
“The whole album has been inspired by the day that I got married and how I was dancing that day,” Chance said of the record that clocks in at just over an hour and 15 minutes.
This is Chance’s fourth solo release, though the first three were mixtapes, not albums.
“My mixtapes have been confused for albums for a long time so it has to be something different,” he told Pitchfork. “Something that you can consider an album, it might not be physical, or a disc or something, but an album that comes with its own live show is important.”
