Everything We Know About Chance the Rapper’s ‘Star Line’

What is the Star Line album release date?

So far, fans do not have an exact album release date for Chance the Rapper’s Star Line. Last year, in June, Chance predicted his new mixtape to arrive sometime in Spring 2024. Though we have just around a month left of spring (which ends on June 20), we have noticed a big shift in the direction of the official rollout.

Which means, we think Chance the Rapper is about to drop Star Line soon. There is an official listening party for Star Line happening in L.A on May 18. We doubt more than a week will pass before more fans get to finally hear the rest of Star Line.

Our predicted album release date for Star Line: Friday, May 24.

What is Star Line about?

To know more about the material and content of Star Line, we can look to the released singles for clues. In the most recent track, “Together,” Chano the activist takes aim at housing injustice while peppering in his own memories of family gatherings.

Emphasizing his message, Chance took to social media to make clear: “This is a song about housing justice painted with nostalgia. I hope the memories can elevate the core message rather than bury it.” This approach reminds us of Acid Rap, specifically “Acid Rain.” It also harkens us back to “Summer Friends” off of Coloring Book. The marriage of social justice and rap is familiar territory for Chano, and we’re elated he’s returning to it.

“Buried Alive,” which came out last month, is a more personal track which calls attention to some of the things Chance has been going through since his last release. “Where’s his money now? Wherе his wife at?/ Where his managеr? Where his hype at?/ Then they threw the dirt on the casket,” he rapped on the song.

Star Line is going to be a blending of personal and universal, and the extent to which one is a window into the other. We can’t wait to hear how the Marcus Garvey history works its way into the mixtape as well.

What are the Star Line singles?

The Star Line singles, so far, have been “I Will Be Your (Black Star Line Freestyle),” “Buried Alive,” and “Together.” There is also a good chance 2022’s “YAH Know” will appear on the Star Line track list as well.

It is unclear if Chance the Rapper’s previously released tracks “The Heart & The Tongue,” “Child of God” and “The Highs & The Lows,” will appear on the Star Line track list.

Who will be featured on Star Line?

When it comes to the Star Line features, we only have the Star Line teaser trailer to source information. According to the video, we anticipate features from Vic Mensa, Lil Wayne, Lil Yachty, T-Pain, Jazze Pha, Jermaine Dupri, and DJ Premier. We already know DJ Premier is involved from the single “Together.”

Plus, if “YAH Know” is on the mixtape, that means a feature from King Promise.

Will Chance the Rapper tour in 2024?

We think it is a virtual guarantee that Chance the Rapper will tour in 2024, in support of his new mixtape Star Line. After he debuts his new material at the 5/18 listening party in L.A, we anticipate Chance will announce listening parties in other cities.

Then, likely by the beginning of the summer (if not earlier), Chance will announce 2024 tour dates to support Star Line. Chance the Rapper won’t be returning as a judge on The Voice for its 26th season, and we don’t think it’s for a lack of popularity.

Get ready fans, it’s about to be a massive comeback year for Chano. Stay tuned, because Chance the Rapper is going to be announcing more Star Line singles, and the official release date, soon.
