A year ago, I would have had to open this interview with a paragraph explaining who Chance The Rapper is. Now, of course, you don’t need that introduction. One of the main reasons for that – that being Chance’s skyrocketing success and fame – is Austin Vesely, the director responsible for a handful of the … Continue reading »
Watch this incredible behind-the-scenes video depicting the creation of what will go down as one of the most remarkable songs of the year, Chance The Rapper and Nosaj Thing‘s “Paranoia.” As the text from the opening of the Yours Truly x adidas originals-presented video reads: 04.07.2013, Nosaj Thing and Chance The Rapper met at Ironworx … Continue reading »

Things get a little out of control in the latest from Chance The Rapper.
