"The Big Day" Eventually Came

Chance the Rapper is a  scamp. His new album, “The Big Day,” was expected to drop last Friday morning. Normally, that means midnight. But midnight came and went.  He DID play an album release show in his hometown of Chicago the night before. On stage, he reiterated that the album would be bestowed upon us. “I’m not supposed to talk a lot because I got a short set tonight,” he said, “My name is Chance the Rapper, I’m very excited to be here. Tomorrow is the Big Day.”

The clock continued to tick, approaching lunchtime in Chicago. Still no album. And then, BOOM! "The Big Day" arrived, featuring appearances by everyone from Nicki Minaj and Gucci Mane (makes sense) to Bon Iver and Randy Newman (Wha?!?).

Your patience paid off because we made it our album of the week, and you could listen to on-demand as much ass you wanted. We've got a new one for you every Friday morning, give or take, so be sure to check out the LXL Album of The Week!
