Chance The Rapper released his last studio album in 2019 with The Big Day. The project was met with massive backlash from fans and critics alike who identified its bad lyrics and weird genre fusions as reasons why it falls short of the potential Chance has. He's released a number of singles since then and appeared on plenty of features but fans have remained morbidly curious about what he would return with when he dropped his next album. He's been teasing that new album for years now and it finally looks like it could be on the way soon.
Earlier this week Chance shared a snippet of new music. The track is called "Buried Alive" and features a direct focus on rapping and wordplay. In the song he even refutes claims that he's underachieved and calls out those putting him down. The song has yet to make its way to streaming but that hasn't stopped fans from digesting it and sharing their thoughts. There's a variety of opinions circulating around but one thing seems consistent, most people are happy he's back. Check out some of the opinions fans expressed below.
