It only took a few years, but Chance the Rapper's first mixtapes have made their way to the major streaming platforms.
His 2012 tape 10 Day and 2013's Acid Rap hit services such as Spotify and Apple Music on Friday. The timing is, however, no coincidence, as Chance is now fully engaged in promo for his upcoming album, which he has now made available for pre-order.
While he has yet to confirm an album title or a firm release date, he has previously maintained it will arrive sometime in July, which now seems all but certain given the pre-order announcement.
In addition to teasing the record, Chance has made all three of his previous mixtapes, including his 2016 project Coloring Book (which was Variance's Album of the Year in 2016), available on vinyl for the first time.
And that's not all. As many fans have likely expected, with the looming album release, he will indeed be hitting the road. Again, he hasn't shared details, but fans who pre-order the LP will be among the first with access to a pre-sale for tickets, whenever his "world tour" is announced.
