Celebrated global hip-hop artist Chance the Rapper is celebrating the 10-year anniversary of his record-breaking, Billboard-charting mixtape Acid Rap. Chance is set to perform three historical shows in three cities, including a show on Thursday, September 21 in Los Angeles at the Kia Forum with special guest Vic Mensa.
Chance and Acid Rap have taken over Chicago this week, as Chance celebrates the landmark recording throughout his hometown. The festivities kicked off with a scavenger hunt across the city, where fans headed to some of Chance’s favorite indie stores for an opportunity to obtain tickets to the sold-out United Center show. On Wednesday, Aug. 16, Chance stopped by the Apple Michigan Avenue store for a sit-down conversation with Apple Music’s Ebro Darden to discuss Acid Rap and 50 years of hip-hop. The rapper also launched The Chance Store, a special retail pop-up at WNDR Museum Chicago. Running now until August 20, fans can head to The Chance Store to grab exclusive merchandise, apparel and accessories including the 10th anniversary edition of the Acid Rap album on vinyl and CD, Chance’s iconic “3” hats in Acid Rap colorways, and a limited edition “Juice” collaboration with Lyrical Lemonade. In addition, Vic Mensa was announced as a special guest for the upcoming Acid Rap concerts at New York’s Barclays Center on August 26 and Los Angeles’ Kia Forum on September 21, produced by Live Nation.
Chance the Rapper forever changed music history with his landmark mixtape Acid Rap and 10 years later it remains the face of independent hip hop. Upon its original April 30, 2013 release, Acid Rap was heralded as “Best New Music” by Pitchfork and Rolling Stone called it one of the “Best Mixtapes of 2013.” Across fourteen dynamic tracks, Chance’s lyrical prowess shines bright as he spits heavyweight bars over psychedelic, soulful, juke-filled beats, encapsulating the sound and feel of Chicago. Top Chicago-based and national artists including Vic Mensa, Childish Gambino, Twista, Action Bronson, BJ The Chicago Kid, Ab-Soul, and Noname lend their talents to the project. In 2019, Acid Rap hit DSPs and catapulted to #5 on the Billboard Hot 200, cementing Chance the Rapper’s role as a voice of a generation.
