While the arrival of Chance the Rapper’s The Big Day came as no surprise—we learned of the album’s release date earlier in July—it still marks a pivotal moment for the Chicago native, who counts it as his first studio album. 

In true Chicago tradition, Chance chose frequent collaborators, close friends, and family to contribute to the project, such as the Social Experiment, Francis Starlite (of Francis and the Lights), Smino, and Taylor Bennett. He also tapped some heavyweights: Death Cab for Cutie’s Benjamin Gibbard, Shawn Mendes, Megan Thee Stallion, Gucci Mane, and Nicki Minaj, among others. On the production side, Lido, Timbaland, Justin Vernon, and Pi'erre Bourne made the cut.

Some contributors have already reacted to The Big Day, which arrived on Friday afternoon.
