Sometimes you’re simply struck by a phrase, a line, a feeling….<\/p>\n

\"Chance_The_Rapper_Acid_Rap-front-large\"<\/a>Was struck the other day by a song on the radio – Cocoa Butter Kisses, where a fast talkin’ rapper who misses his grandma’s kisses because he reeks of tobacco\/weed. \u00a0Forgot about it for awhile, then ran across the album to the right on various year-end best-of lists. \u00a0Took it for a spin and there he was.<\/p>\n

What a fine album, full of positive thoughts, feelings, the thrill of growing up, but all so-aware from a 20 year old (these days, for me, that’s really fuckin’ young ;)) \u00a0A bit of negative stuff couched with humor that both funny and misogynistic, but he’s got a bright future if he does’t get lost in the way of getting all the fame and cash that he seems to be garnering.<\/p>\n

Good luck, chance. \u00a0And for the rest… if you doubt, listen to track 13. \u00a0Sublime, touching, and fucking amazingly phrased\/sang. \u00a0Wow! \u00a0On repeat for awhile….<\/p>\n

And a free mixtape too, as an added bonus. Look out for him!<\/p>\n
