Chance The Rapper took the music industry by storm with his mixtapes. Now, he’s finally ready to drop his debut album.
The Grammy-winning artist teased fans via Twitter by hinting at a July release date on Monday night (February 11).
“July,” he wrote. “Owbum.”
Soon after, Chance posted a video on Instagram reflecting on some of the wonderful things happening in his life. After suggesting fans would have to continue waiting for his album, he once again mentioned a July release.
“Life is good, so you gonna get that shit when I’m ready,” he said. “July though.”
Chance’s playful announcement was eventually confirmed by his manager Pat Corcoran, who officially revealed the LP would drop this summer.
On Tuesday (February 12), Chance hopped back on Twitter to tell fans about what they could expect from his debut. The Hip Hop star said it wouldn’t rehash what he did on 2016’s Coloring Book and his breakthrough mixtape Acid Rap.
“This my 1st album so its really good,” he wrote. “I got real famous so I gotta lotta eyes on me that wasn’t fans of me they just fans of whats popular. My first album is for my fans.”
He added, “I’ll always be immensely proud of what I did with Coloring Book. Same Drugs, Summer Friends and Juke Jam are some the realest songs I’ve ever written so u dont have to defend Coloring Book to me. It happened, it made history but I did it already. The album wont be acid rap either.”

People actually listen to this clown lmfaoo.. Don’t know not one person who does lol
Gays and femenists
Well you don’t know not one person…
I’m with you, bruh. I’ve never heard one real life person say “I’m bumping that new Chance the Rapper.” All Internet hype.
Ya, all “internet hype” yet he has sells out concerts and headlines festivals. I listen to underground hip hop and fuck with chance heavy, don’t know who youre listening to but please list some names. Im sure they have zero internet or real hype
I’ll throw one name at you: Eminem. Now sit back down, kid.
Lol I’ve been listening to Eminem since 98. Please name 5 more artists. Good chance they fuck with chance too. Chance makes dope music.
Kanye, Kendrick, Jay-Z, Nas, Lupe. And I don’t give a fuck if any of them fuck with Chance, I don’t. Why does that even matter anyway? I’m talking about real life people I see everyday, not who Chance hits the studio with. “Chance makes dope music” hahaha!
Album gonna be called PC have topics about gay rights. White womans rights. R kelly and w.e else will make him look good
Albums for gays a femenists facts
I’m really excited Chance has always given something new with every project he drops, so I’m looking forward to what style he employs this time around. I hope he departs from the gospel influences and does more sampled sounds he used on 10 day.
Get some of those Kanye beats for this joint
Chance is super feminine. Is he a gay rapper?
Chance is gay….and trans.
one of the most overrated acts in hip hop, only followd by hipsters that dont know shit about real quality
He probably gonna do a part 2 to that cheetos commercial with new kids on the block…and a remix to that kit kat commercial too…foh..this dude whole setup is shucking and jiving 4 white folk so they feel safe..foh..
He literally rapped the alphabet on DJ Khaleds last album. I’m dead
Chance is dope. Y’all below are trippin.
INDUSTRY PLANT
let’s just give this guy a chance….I mean so what is he did commercials, let him ride that wave and set himself up financially for a long time. Most of these disposable rappers blow their money and have no future after that. So if a company offered you a million to sell some lame as chips, and then you take that million and invest it, and then make 50 million from that, he is a sell out right? Most of the comments on here are people who won’t know how too set themselves up for the future and you are giving Chance shit for it. If anything you sold yourselves out. He is a ok rapper, at least he isn’t mumbling and more than hipsters follow chance.
Nobody is checking for this spoiled clown.
His Dad and the mayor of Chicago will make all of his dreams comes true.
I was saying from the beginning that this dude was an industry prop with no REAL fans. When a rapper blows up overnight, is all over the Internet and is being promoted to white kids, but yet you never heard one song from him and he doesn’t have an album, it’s a dead give away. Rappers like Willie the Kid, Roc Marciano, Sandman, grind for decades just to scratch the surface of success in hiphop, but it’s REAL. Dudes like this sit in a room with a bunch of lawyers deciding what the next phase of his career is gonna be. I guarantee you he has never saved up money for studio time, or rocked a show at a hole in the wall bar, or battled, or bumrushed a stage, or done any of the things that you normally have to do to get on. He was given his spot on a silver platter. I’m not saying the kid shouldn’t enjoy his success, but don’t put him in the same category as real MCs. “Daddy, I wanna be a rapper!” “Okay son, I’ll call my lawyer tomorrow..”.
