Chance the Rapper has finally addressed his eager fans awaiting the release of his second album, Star Line Gallery, with a cryptic message: “I’ll be ready to go.” This update came on Sunday (April 21) via a tweet accompanied by a two-minute video montage showcasing snippets from studio sessions, rehearsals, personal moments, and travels.
The montage featured appearances from various artists like Vic Mensa, T-Pain, Lil Wayne, Lil Yachty, Jermaine Dupri, and Jazze Pha. The video ended with a simple display of “Star Line” on a black screen. Chance’s vocals, singing lines like, “Light on your toes, keep it right, steady, ready to go,” provided the soundtrack, adding to the anticipation.
Despite the album’s release date remaining a mystery, some fans have already hailed it as the “album of the millennium.” In a previous interview with “Audacy Check In,” Chance described the album as one of his proudest projects in terms of writing and artistic vision, emphasizing the immense work yet to be done. He teased its potential release in the spring during an Instagram Live session in December.
His debut album, The Big Day, arrived in 2019 after three acclaimed mixtapes: 10 Day, Acid Rap, and Coloring Book. These projects boasted collaborations with a diverse range of artists, including Nicki Minaj, SWV, Pretty Vee, Lil Durk, Shawn Mendes, Gucci Mane, and Megan Thee Stallion.
Earlier this year, Chance stirred further excitement for Star Line Gallery with “I Will Be Your (Black Star Line Freestyle).” It remains uncertain whether previously released tracks like “The Heart & The Tongue,” “Child of God,” and “The Highs & The Lows” will make it onto the final tracklist. Nonetheless, the enthusiastic response to Chance’s enigmatic update underscores the anticipation among his devoted fanbase.
