Must-Listen: Chance The Rapper Opens Up About Divorce & Manager Dispute in New Song
Chance The Rapper is back in the spotlight with a brand new track and music video, just a day after revealing that he is working on a new mixtape titled Star Line.
On April 25th, the Chicago rapper dropped “Buried Alive,” a song that delves into his recent struggles with divorce and management issues. The music video for the track features Chance trapped inside a coffin, metaphorically expressing his feelings of being buried alive by life’s challenges.
In the song, Chance questions the whereabouts of his money, his wife, his manager, and his lost hype. Despite the setbacks, he asserts his determination to rise above it all, with lyrics like, “I just needed something I could rap on / Right then and there the roof caved, quick rubble stone.”
Earlier in the week, Chance surprised fans with the announcement of his upcoming mixtape, Star Line, promising exciting collaborations with artists like Lil Wayne, DJ Premier, Lil Yachty, and more. The Grammy-winner hinted at these collaborations through teaser clips on social media, creating buzz among his followers.
Notably, Chance’s new project Star Line pays homage to Marcus Garvey’s Black Star Line, a vital trade route connecting Black communities worldwide. The project aims to celebrate Black connectivity and empower free Africa, drawing inspiration from historical events that resonate with Chance’s artistic vision.
This mixtape has been a long time coming, as Chance has been hinting at new music since his last album, The Big Day, released in 2019. He previously teased a project called Star Line Gallery, but it remains to be seen if this new mixtape is a part of that vision or a standalone venture.
With his unique storytelling and introspective lyrics, Chance The Rapper continues to push the boundaries of hip hop and deliver meaningful messages through his music. Fans can look forward to the release of Star Line and the exciting collaborations it promises in the near future.
Stay tuned for more updates on Chance The Rapper’s musical journey and the upcoming release of his highly-anticipated mixtape, Star Line.
