Props for all the old ones. But the last 10 years has seen album/single artwork become really important again. Sometimes artwork gets released as a teaser to the music. Gonna post some when I get off mobile.

But see every currency mixtape the last few years

Not onl are his covers dope, Chance's covers have a simple but infectious story:

10-Day - The first one is, you know, discovery. Seeing his name in the stars. His destiny is before him, looking up to this greatness he’s about to inherit.

Acid Rap - The second was a play off the title, I just really love the title, Acid Rap. I knew it was the right pairing, this idea of new-age hippie—TDE was kind of doing that too. But it was like this mix of anxiousness, excitement, and fear where you enter the world. You step into this greatness.

Coloring Book -The third is being in a place of maturity, a place where there’s a certain amount of control. He’s not a newbie anymore, having accomplished all of these things. When we took the photo, he was holding his daughter. He was looking down at his daughter. And that was his concept, his idea. Chance wanted to capture the expression on his face when he looked at his daughter. It’s this picture of the future being bigger than himself. It’s not just about him, it’s about family. He’s looking down at the future in a way.
