Six years in the making
After a six-year hiatus, Chance the Rapper is officially back with STAR LINE, a highly anticipated 17-track album that promises to be his most ambitious and personal project to date.

Produced alongside longtime collaborator DexLvL, STAR LINE reflects Chance’s growth as an artist and his commitment to pushing creative boundaries.
Global inspiration, local roots
Chance drew inspiration from his travels to Ghana, Jamaica, and international art fairs, blending hip-hop, soul, and experimental sounds throughout the album. STAR LINE explores themes of identity, resilience, and legacy while remaining deeply rooted in his love for Chicago and the broader Black diaspora.
Listeners can expect a sonic journey that moves effortlessly from introspective lyricism to energetic, rhythm-driven tracks, all while maintaining the distinct Chance flair that has made him a cultural icon.
STAR LINE: A personal statement
