The Greatest Music
Acid Rap
The 1430th greatest album of all time
Acid Rap is Chance the Rapper's 2013 mixtape that mixes pop rap accessibility with conscious hip hop lyricism and jazz rap and neo soul textures. It pairs playful, improvisational flows and vivid storytelling with production that often uses brass, warm keys, gospel-inflected harmonies and sample based grooves. The loose, exuberant arrangements and genre blending sound helped establish Chance as a distinctive independent voice in Chicago hip hop.
