Chicago has long served as the music headquarters for real
hip hop lovers everywhere. Put on the map by legendary lyricists like Kanye
West, Common, and Lupe Fiasco, Chi-town has been the premier breeding ground
for hip hop’s finest. Therefore, it is only natural to look to the Windy City
for the future of the industry. Who will be next to blow up and carry the
torch? I’d put my money on 19 year old up and comer Chance the Rapper. An air
of honesty saturates every line providing a refreshing tone to all his music. A
truly distinctive voice and flow coupled with a uniquely creative mind that
shines through on tracks like “Brain Cells” and “Long Time” provides a one of a
kind experience for the listener. Chance began getting some well-deserved
recognition after releasing his debut mixtape, 10 Day, a concept album that sprung
from a 10 day high school suspension for ‘weed related’ activities, during
which time he began work on the album.
So what’s next for the Chicago native? He says that a major label signing and a debut studio album are in the not-so-distant future. To keep the hungry fans satisfied, however, a sophomore mixtape is on its way, set to drop sometime in November, entitled Acid Rap. So, could Chance the Rapper be the future in a long line of talent and prestige that represent Chicago’s hip hop legacy? He certainly has all the tools to do so. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
