The young, frantically expressive Chicago MC Chance The Rapper seems poised to walk away with 2013 in his pocket. His “Juice” video grabbed the attention of those of us, like me, who slept on last year’s 10 Day mixtape, he handily stole “Wendy N Becky” away from Joey Bada$$, and his forthcoming Acid Rap mixtape is starting to hear like an honest-to-god event. And now we’ve got the video for the tape’s “Good Ass Intro,” a beguiling bit of contemplative ADD-rap, with contributions from the great young R&B singer BJ The Chicago Kid. (John Legend also sings backup, interestingly.) The video, directed by OJ Hays and Andrew Straw, melts the downtown landmarks of Chance’s hometown into psychedelic cartoon visions. Watch it below.
Acid Rap is set to arrive 4/30.

A good friend of mine is his live sound guy. Chance is the man. I don’t know why Chief Keef is the big Chicago rapper instead of Chance the Rapper.
It seems like everybody (including me) slept on him last year, but I downloaded #10Day last month and I’ve been listening to Chance pretty consistently ever since. The kid is very talented, likable and he already has a distinctive voice and style. He might not ever break out like Kendrick, but at the very least he should be a much better alternative to somebody like Kid Cudi or Chiddy Bang.
