Chance The Rapper’s ‘Star Line’: All 17 Tracks Ranked

After six years away from the mic, Chance the Rapper is finally back with his second full-length, Star Line. The project, which is Chance’s first official album since 2019’s The Big Day, arrives years after Chance first announced it back in 2022. And it delivers: Star Line is packed with great features, including from Lil Wayne, Young Thug, Joey Bada$$, BabyChiefDoIt, Jay Electronica and more.

According to a press release, Star Line explores “Chance’s global journey, artistically, spiritually and physically, over the past six years. Created with longtime producer DexLvL and shaped by travels to Ghana, Jamaica and art fairs around the world, Star Line blends hip-hop, soul and experimental sounds with lyrical meditations on identity, resilience and legacy. While Chance has circled the globe in search of new perspectives, the project remains grounded in the worldview that has always defined his art: a deep, unshakable connection to Chicago and to Black culture across the diaspora.”

Chance’s debut album, The Big Day, included just as many high-profile collaborators, such as John Legend, Death Cab for Cutie, Megan Thee Stallion, Nicki Minaj, Shawn Mendes and more. While The Big Day reached No. 2 on both the Billboard 200 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, the album was divisive among critics and fans, increasing the hype ten fold around Star Line and Chance’s musical return.
