Chance The Rapper is back with some fresh music! The rapper has released a brand new song titled “Buried Alive”, which comes with an accompanying video.
Chance The Rapper is making waves once again with the release of his latest single and video, “Buried Alive.” In this track, he confronts head-on some of the criticisms and challenges he’s faced in recent times. With sharp, pointed verses, Chance delves into personal and professional struggles, addressing topics like his divorce, fallout with his former manager, and more.
The lyrics paint a vivid picture of resilience in the face of adversity. Chance speaks to the challenges he’s encountered, symbolically portraying himself as the “boy who lived” but was “tied up for marryin’,” perhaps a reference to the constraints he’s faced in his personal life. As he rides off into the sunset, he’s met with setbacks and betrayals, but he refuses to be silenced. The imagery of being buried alive underscores the feeling of suffocation under the weight of scrutiny and expectation.
The release of “Buried Alive” marks a significant moment for Chance as he gears up for the launch of his upcoming mixtape, Star Line. The title itself carries weight, hinting at a journey, perhaps a reflection of Chance’s own path in the music industry and life in general. Drawing inspiration from Marcus Garvey’s pioneering efforts in the early 20th century, Chance aims to create a modern-day network of connectivity through his music. Much like Garvey’s shipping line connected people across continents, Chance’s mixtape seeks to unite listeners from diverse backgrounds through shared experiences and narratives.
Accompanying the announcement of Star Line is a star-studded video featuring appearances from industry heavyweights like Lil Wayne, Vic Mensa, and Lil Yachty. This collaborative effort reinforces Chance’s commitment to building bridges and fostering community within the music industry.
With “Buried Alive” as a powerful precursor, anticipation for Star Line is reaching a fever pitch. Chance The Rapper continues to defy expectations and push boundaries with his music, cementing his status as a visionary artist with a message that resonates far beyond the confines of the studio.
