Chicago native, Chance The Rapper, covers Complex Magazine for the third time in four years. This time around, he sits with the platform and details life as a dad, experiencing new success, religion, and more. As the conversation shifts, Chance gets into talking about his debut album and its distinction from his previous mixtapes.
I think I might actually sell this album. That’s, like, a big step in itself. I kind of hate the fact that I can’t chart, really. I can chart, but the way they have the streaming shit set up is weak as fuck.
I think whatever this album is, it wouldn’t be so centered. Acid Rap and 10 Day and Coloring Book was like a trilogy in itself. One aesthetic, one goal. Whatever my next thing is, it’ll be a bit bigger. Like, maybe there’ll be some type of visual component to it. Like it’ll be a movie, or it’ll be a play, or some type of tour. But something a little bit different than Acid Rap and 10 Day and Coloring Book.
