????“And we back, and we back and we back …” ????That’s right, Chance the Rapper is back with his third project, now known worldwide as “Coloring Book.” ????The youthful 26-year-old Chicago emcee has found success in the past few years with his unique, airy style of hip-hop found in his impressive mixtapes and features. Three years after “Acid Rap” and a few months after his verse on Kanye West’s instant classic “Ultralight Beam,” the time was right for a new Chance project. ????On the project, West protégé has taken the traditions of rap and given them a gospel twist that gives the project a nostalgic feel while still feeling wholly original. ????He and West introduce “Coloring Book” with “All We Got,” a track where West inserts his own auto-tuned voice singing a line that arguably sets the tone for the whole album, “music all we got, got, got so we might as well give it all we got.” ????If music is all Chance has got, he’s got a lot going for him. Chance is currently on top of the game both musically and personally, and it shows. On his record, Chance is part musician and part pastor as his music preaches life’s glory from his own perspective. ????Overall, the leading motif on “Coloring Book” is Chance’s faith in God. Chance’s faith is symbolic in this album for whatever listeners can interpret it as. It’s a message of self-belief and overcoming obstacles, regardless of what those obstacles are. ????Music critics say the album is a standout project in its uniqueness, quality and motives, and will surely be one of the best albums of the year.
