I have listened to rap music for a number of years now. The process of finding young talents to look out for hurts so much! One has to go through so many horrible mixtapes, mild flows, duplicated rap styles and rap clichés to find the gold. I have this habit of just downloading random mixtapes just to get the feel of what is out there. On the 2nd of May 2013, I finally struck gold for the first time this year when I randomly got hold of a Chance The Rapper mixtape...

"Everybody dies in the summer" sighs Chance the Rapper in a particularly poignant moment on his latest mixtape, "so pray to God for a little more spring." It's this heart-rending reality that underlies the 20-year-old Chicago MC's second release, Acid Rap. In the more affluent areas of the city few things are cherished more dearly than warm weather, yet in Chance's Chatham--and other south and west side neighborhoods--the sunshine and clouds have become a precursor to gunshots and sirens...

Since releasing his sophomore mixtape, Acid Rap, last week, Chance The Rapper has drawn comparisons from Kanye West to Andre 3000 and his record has been called everything from "a monolith" to "an infinite jest." People like this album. Regardless of the particular label or parallel, two things seem certain: Chance is rap's newest golden boy/enfant terrible and Acid Rap is a career-making record...

Chicago's drill scene divides audiences, critics, and peers, artists like Chief Keef either vilified for glorifying the city's violence or given credit for shedding light on the ever-growing body count. In some ways, Chance The Rapper stands entirely apart from that scene, his acid-washed production and trademark "igh!" emanating miles away from Keef's spare rumbles and "bang bang" ad-lib...
