The Big Day

Chance the Rapper


It’s hard to believe in many ways that
The Big Day is the Chicago-born rapper’s
debut album; after all, there aren’t many
rookies who have already dropped three
hugely popular mixtapes and claimed three
Grammys. Nonetheless, with the MC having
said “I do” to his longtime girlfriend just a few
months ago, the project represents a both
personal and professional milestone.
FIVE FACTS:


  1. Chance the Rapper is the professional
    name of Chancelor Jonathan Bennett.

  2. He released his debut mixtape, 10 Day,
    in 2012.

  3. Two further mixtapes followed – 2013’s
    Acid Rap and 2016’s Coloring Book.

  4. Coloring Book made history in 2017,
    when it became the first streaming-only
    album to win a Grammy Award.

  5. The Big Day features a host of guest
    contributors, including Chance’s brother
    Taylor, his dad Ken and big-name stars
    ranging from Justin Vernon and Nicki Minaj
    to Murda Beatz and Timbaland.
