Twitter can be beautiful tool. Based on the strength of a random tweet from an artist I think highly of, I searched out for a song and ended up downloading an entire album and listening to the entire online catalog of Chance the Rapper. This kid, (he’s 20, recorded a gang of raps at just 19) is crazy original and just dropped this mix tape/album ACID RAP (unfortunately it’s on DatPiff, sad emoticon) with a host of dope producers, like Jake One and J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League) and guest appearances by Action Bronson, Childish Gambino, and Twista (remember that dude?) The tweet in reference made note of the track with Bronsilino, which you can hear first, as I did:
The whole album is really different, the dude is on some dare-to-be-different shit that most cats in my inbox are too scared to even listen to, let alone try. I’m sure Chris will think it’s more of my weirdo rap, but what else would you expect from the two differing ear styles of The Echo Chamber. You can download this mixtape/album here, just make sure no one sees you visiting DatPiff.
Also shouts to MC Eleven for putting me onto dude. You can get familiar with Migueleven by clicking this. Do it.
