@wbez_chicago: It’s hard to believe that, with all of his success, “Star Line” is only Chance the Rapper’s second studio album. Fans waited six years for this project to drop. Its title references Marcus Garvey’s Black Star Line, a Black-owned steamship line with plans to bring goods and Black Americans back to Africa in 1919; the project also inspired the name of the free music festival in Ghana that Chance and Vic Mensa founded in 2023. In an interview that year with Vocalo, Chance described taking pride in the project as a work-in-progress. “All these amazing, important Black artists, producers, painters, all of these people that are in the pantheon of Black iconography have been coming and helping me build this project,” he said. With this album, Chance reminds us that no matter how far fame takes him, he will always come back home to Chicago.
