If you're a music lover like me, you're going to be excited to hear this new material by a not-so-new rapper from The City of Wind, who calls himself Chance The Rapper. He also happens to be a graduate from my high school, Jones College Preparatory High School.
Although his material is new to me, he's not new to many at home in Chicago. His second mixtape was just released yesterday, on 4/30/2013. Several media outlets are calling him the next big thing from Chicago since Kanye West--What an AWESOME compliment, huh?
Here's what Jake Krzeczowski from The Chicago Sun-Times had to say about Chance The Rapper's sophmore mixtape release Acid Rap:
“Acid Rap” could well be the biggest hip-hop release to come out of the city since Kanye West’s “College Dropout.” Fortunately, it lacks any semblance of West’s attitude or cockiness.
Acid Rap is definitely a mixtape that can be played from front-to-back, without missing a beat. Chance's tone and style are refreshing, in a rap game where artists like 'Chief Keef' are brainwashing our youth. When you get a chance, check it out:
