After a six-year silence, Chance the Rapper is officially back. On August 15, 2025, he will drop his sophomore album, Star Line, marking a new chapter filled with growth, travel, and creative evolution.
Chance collaborated with longtime producer DexLvL to shape the album, incorporating his vision and sound from his trips to Ghana, Jamaica, and international art fairs. Lyrical themes of identity, resiliency, and cultural legacy will be paired with a blend of hip-hop, soul, and experimental textures.
Chance the Rapper teamed up again with Brandon Breaux, the artist who designed the covers for Chance’s earlier mixtapes: 10 Day (his first project in 2012, inspired by being suspended from high school), Acid Rap (a 2013 breakout mixtape that made him famous for mixing rap with trippy sounds), and Coloring Book (a 2016 Grammy-winning mixtape full of gospel and uplifting themes).
For his new single “Tree,” Chance features Lil Wayne and Smino. The track also pays tribute to India Arie, an R&B/soul singer famous for her empowering songs about self-love and Black identity. Alongside the music, Chance directed a short film that flips stereotypes about marijuana businesses; he centers the story on a Black women-owned dispensary, showing it not as something negative, but as a space of joy, independence, and cultural pride.
He’s Touring and We Are Back Too
Right as the album drops, Chance will embark on the “And We Back Tour”, a 15-city North American journey starting September 26 in Houston. Stops include stops in New Orleans, Toronto, NYC, Los Angeles, and a homecoming in Chicago, concluding mid-October. Fans are ecstatic for the new tracks and fresh performances.
The Significance of This Moment
Departure and Return: Many questioned whether Chance had permanently regressed. On the contrary he is building on legacy; and this record tells a tale of Black spiritual advancement, artistic diaspora, and mobility. However, Chance is forceful and optimistic, reclaiming storytelling agency in both the album art and the video's setting.
