His rhyme style is refreshingly malleable with a musical knowledge that has him belting out church hymns seconds after double-time rapping about vanquishing the devil. It’s been three years, but Chance has returned with his latest mixtape, Coloring Book, which features contributions from Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Justin Beiber, and 2 Chainz, among others. Its release Thursday on Apple Music and, briefly, DatPiff, has sent Twitter into its usual frenzy.
From DJs to organic burger restaurants, here’s the Twitter chatter surrounding Chance the Rapper’s Coloring Book mixtape.
Thank you for continuing to inspire @chancetherapper. Headphones time… https://t.co/gU9EKYx8Lv https://t.co/9YQUW9zihL

#ColoringBook is (lowkey) a gospel album.
