Ear Catcher



I felt that I needed to bring some attention on this new guy Chance the Rapper. He has been generating a crazy amount of buzz, being lauded as the Second Coming of Kanye West, needing police escorts from high school parking lots and other such fanfare. To think that this transformation could occur just a year after dropping his mix tape 10 Day , which was recorded over a 10 day suspension from his high school, is a testament to just how quickly this kid is going to blow and to the tumultuous music environ we are living in.

The production on this single is gorgeous, as is most of the entire mixtape, tellingly titled Acid Rap. Starting with a spacey synth lead and "YeaAhhh" sample and driving into crisp 808 high hats this track definitely shows why Chance is garnering all of these comparisons to his idols. His flow on this track is also a great introduction to the whole package of Chances rap/singing delivery as he switches between the two with confidence.

Definitely feeling this one.
