Chance The Rapper's First Two Mixtapes Have Officially Hit Streaming Services

Chance The Rapper has been around for quite some time, in different incarnations that you or might not directly be aware of. His first project ever was 10 Day that came out in 2012, followed by Acid Rap the next year. In the years soon after, he'd become a portentous figure in modern rap, with singles like "No Problems," with Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz and his 2016 mixtape Coloring Book elevating his stature considerably. Right now, he is a household name that's well traditional. But 10 Day and Acid Rap remain locked away in a dark dungeon since they weren't included on Apple Music, TIDAL, and Spotify. Right now, that's changed. Both 10 Day and Acid Rap are right now obtainable on all major streaming services. They're also coming on vinyl this fall. Moreover, Chance has opened up preorders for his forthcoming debut studio album on his website. The prelude for the next chapter has arrived in explosive fashion.





10 Day's first draft was, according to Rolling Stone, recorded during Chance's suspension from William Jones College Preparatory High School for pot possession. It was a glimpse of what he may do, a sampling plate of the charisma and outlandish touches he would apply to his music later. Per year later, Chance christened 2013 with one of its most creative rap releases in Acid Rap, a psychedelic genre trek that threw elements of gospel, reggae, and soul into a blender. The mixtape featured early highlights from artists that would later go on to be heavyweights in their own rights like Childish Gambino, Vic Mensa, and Noname. Both assignments help to build Chance's exposition, so they're important releases that are finally widely obtainable in the digital age.





The ability to preorder Chance's album right now indicates that it should be arriving very soon. Earlier this year, he – and his manager Pat Corcoran – revealed on Twitter and then Instagram that he'd be dropping a new project in July. In May, he released the flippant dance tune, "Groceries" with Tisakorean. Last year, all of the signs pointed to Chance's season coming soon: he released several songs to hold over fans who were waiting ("The Man Who Has Everything," "My Own Thing," and "Work Out") and Kanye West told reporters that he was in Chicago working on Chance's album.
