Acid Rain
Saving the best for last. Why? Because we rarely see a track where every single bar is pure gold. If there is one song on here guaranteed to bring out the feels, it’s this one. Chance is at his most vulnerable state but still has enough composure to power through his low points. Anyone can relate to feeling weak and not being able to continue on their path of life, fighting off the doubters as well as the inner demons.
Chano reminisces on better days before quickly going into his dark side. This side that sometimes gets lost in the drugs. The side that saw their best friend stabbed to death in front of him. The side that still casts shades of doubt about whether everything will work out for him. He does this all without missing a single step, every bar accompanying each other perfectly in his own unique style unparalleled to any rapper right now. Topping it off with a poetic ending fit for a novel, Chance realizes he can’t get rid of the past but he can make the best of it — a mantra every person should live by.
