Chance The Rapper’s most recent album, The Big Day, came out almost five years ago. Fans have been waiting for a new album ever since. The rapper has been hinting at a new album since 2022. Interestingly, the much-anticipated new album might come out later this year after the rapper posted the vague message “I’ll be ready to go” on X (formerly Twitter). The rapper posted the cryptic update, accompanied by a two-minute video montage of clips seemingly from studio sessions, performance rehearsals, trips, and other life events.
Chance the Rapper’s Album: What We Know
Chance the Rapper is making his long-anticipated return. His fans will be happy to hear that the Chicago MC is releasing a new album in spring 2024. Following the success of Coloring Book and The Big Day, fans eagerly anticipate the rapper’s next full-length project. The rapper has revealed that his journey to Ghana and the legacy of Marcus Garvey’s Black Star Line inspires the forthcoming album, Star Line Gallery.
Chance recently posted a trailer of himself in Ghana and clips from various studios where he is working on new music. The video features fellow Save Money members Vic Mensa, Lil Wayne, T-Pain, Jazze Pha, and DJ Premier, helping him assemble this new era. The album’s concept is based on Marcus Garvey’s Black Star Line, expressing Chance’s admiration for Garvey’s influence and legacy. Chance has also described Star Line Gallery as one of his proudest projects, with a great deal of love.
He said, “It’s one of my proudest projects in terms of writing and artistic vision. There’s a lot of work to be done with it. But it’s cool because I believe that the love and intention that goes into creating each physical art piece allows me to show people in these museum spaces what I’m working on.”
What Does “Star Line Gallery” Really Mean
Chance the Rapper held his Black Star Line Festival in Ghana in early January. Billboard says it had over 50,000 attendees and was the country’s biggest festival. Ghana took a significant step towards independence in 1957 by ending colonialism, becoming the first country in Sub-Saharan Africa to achieve this milestone. Ghana constructed a monument called Black Star Square to commemorate this momentous occasion.
According to Billboard, the album and festival’s names were based on the Black Star Line, started by civil rights leader Marcus Garvey in 1919 and run by Black people. The line helped connect shipping and tourism opportunities between the United States, the Caribbean, and Africa.
When can I get the Star Line Gallery?
Chance the Rapper’s eagerly awaited follow-up album, Star Line Gallery, is set to drop in spring 2024. This marks his first significant release since The Big Day in 2019, and fans have been keenly looking forward to new music. During an Instagram Live session in December 2023, Chance the Rapper disclosed the preliminary release window, but a specific date is yet to be confirmed.
In March last year, during an appearance on The Today Show, Chance also mentioned to Carson Daly, the host of The Voice, that the album would be released “this year.” Despite picking a name for the album, Chance hasn’t said what songs will be on it. However, the 2022 single Yah Know is likely to be on it.
