Last week, Chance the Rapper hosted an immersive multi-sensory art experience, Writings on the Wall, in New Orleans, offering fans a unique and immersive experience to preview his new unreleased music. Held in the Black-owned art space StudioBe, the event allowed fans to connect with the music and lyrics on a profound level. Each attendee received their own headphones and oversized bean bag for a private listening experience, while lyrics and videos for 12 unheard Chance songs were projected on the walls to accompany each record. This unique experience is far from a silent disco as the floors were shaken with four SRX918S 2,500-watt 18-inch subwoofers, enabling attendees to physically feel the music. Phones were not allowed, encouraging full presence. Fans were also given notebooks to jot down thoughts and questions, followed by a live QandA with Chance, who shared insights about the new tracks.

In addition to the listening session, the event featured artwork from previous releases, lyrics, and videos, creating a comprehensive and immersive artistic environment. This multi-sensory approach provided attendees with a deeper connection to Chance's music and artistic vision. Adding to the evening's excitement, legendary rapper Juvenile attended the event, further elevating the experience. In a video captured, Juvenile praised Chance for the innovative concept, highlighting the respect and admiration Chance commands within the hip-hop community. Watch the video HERE.

Following the success of several Writings on the Wall events around the country, including Chicago and Atlanta, Chance the Rapper is thrilled to announce that it will also be coming to Washington, D.C., on August 8th at an undisclosed location. Fans in D.C. can look forward to the same intimate and engaging experience. More details and dates in new cities to be revealed soon.

Chance has been carefully curating all aspects of his Star Line project, alongside its interdisciplinary companion, Star Line Gallery. This unique project seamlessly blends the realms of art, music, and cinematography, presenting a collection of collaborative works with esteemed fine artists from The Continent and The Diaspora. The resulting pieces redefine the notion of ‘album art’ and are compelling conversations and meditations on Black life. Star Line Gallery works “Child of God” (collaboration with Gabonese artist and painter Naïla Opiangah), “A Bar About A Bar” (collaboration with Chicago-based painter Nikko Washington and filmmaker Troy Gueno), “The Highs andamp; The Lows” feat. Joey Bada$$ (collaboration with Gabonese photographer Yannis Davy Guibinga), and "YAH Know" (collaboration with Chicago-based visual artist Mía Lee) have been showcased at art institutions around the world including Expo Chicago, Art Basel, Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA), The Art Institute of Chicago, and Los Angeles’ Museum Of Contemporary Art (MOCA).
