BOUND: The Albums, 2013.


09/Chance the Rapper/Acid Rap

That title is misleading. Yeah, acid, libations, and such pop up here and there and may have provided the inspiration that set the wheels in motion for many a track provided here, but it's deeper than that. Meet Chance the Rapper. 20 year old Chi-town native. And these are his raps. His mixtape. His soliloquies. These stories. Acid Rap(s). Chance the Rapper: MC. Poet. Crooner. One foot pressed forward, other locked into streets Kate Couric and Matt Lauer refuse to tread. Acid Rap sees all, feels all, and reports all. Shining brightest when Chance's affinity for the vulnerability and pathos present in the genres soul, rhythm, and blues seep into his flows and the music. Acid Rap is that guy that stay with the jokes. That dude you know with the swag for days. That one person you don't mind getting deep with when intoxicated. And Chance himself, is that dude. You did a good ass job, man. Even better than you were the last time.
