Chance the Rapper Announces New Album

Chance the Rapper announced today (April 30) that his album is coming in the next couple weeks. He also debuted the cover, which you can see above.

In a since-deleted tweet (below), Chance said the next few weeks will see a rollout unlike any other. The album seems to be called Chance 3, and you can buy 10 posters with the cover for $20 at chanceraps.com.

Chance is set to perform on Jimmy Fallon this week, and given his proclivity for debuting new music on late night talk shows recently (like "Angels" and "Somewhere in Paradise") there's reason to believe he's gonna do something new when he goes on Fallon. Even if he doesn't, the appearance is a well-timed part of what looks to be the beginning of Chance's new project rollout.

It's about time for a new Chance project, too. He's been teasing something on Twitter lately, and though he was part of Surf last year as well as a collab EP with Lil B, his most recent solo work was Acid Rap over three years ago.

He's also been destroying guest verses in 2016, with spotlight-stealing appearances on albums from Kanye West, Macklemore and others. His verse on that Skrillex remix of "Hundred Waters" is off the chain. Recent footage of his new music also points to a gospel sound similar to The Life of Pablo. Hopefully Kanye is involved in the next project, though nobody knows if he will be yet. He probably gained some new respect for Chance after including "Waves" on the LP, though.
