Coloring Book Vinyl Chance – A mesmerizing collector’s item that is a must-have for any music lover. With its unique design, enhanced audio quality, and exclusive merchandise, this limited edition vinyl promises an unmatched listening experience.
In terms of scope, Coloring Book is the most expansive mixtape Chance the Rapper has released to date. Its sonic palette is also more ambitious than Surf, his 2015 album with Donnie Trumpet and the Social Experiment. In contrast to the funk-infused rap of Surf, Coloring Book uses gospel choirs, church organs, and crisp radio-ready rhythms to elevate a sermon of biblical proportions.
The choral nature of Coloring Book is also extended to its extensive list of guest appearances. The 23-year-old rapper peppers his mixtape with trending artists like Young Thug, D.R.A.M, Lil Yachty, and 2 Chainz and veterans like Future and T-Pain (turns out he can actually sing). The result is a grand family gathering that celebrates the beauty of diversity in hip hop culture.
Unlike Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp a Butterfly, which was primarily politically conscious, Chance’s Coloring Book is loose and free of overtly political bars. Yet it is no less aware of the racial and political injustices that plague his home city, Chicago. Whether it’s an allusion to the Black Lives Matter movement or his frequent references to the fatal shootings of young children on the South Side, Chance is as conscious as ever on this uplifting collection.
