Chance The Rapper, one of the most exciting hip-hop artists of the 21st century, recently dropped his long awaited third mixtape, Coloring Book.

For possibly unrelated reasons, we assembled a KILLER panel that included music journalists extraordinaire Briana Younger and Marcus J. Moore, PLUS DC music powerhouse Jamal Gray (Nag Champa).

With that much firepower in the room we should probably talk about something right?

OK. Let's talk about Chance.

This week on the podcast, we’re back from vacation just in time for Kevin and Paul to team up with the unstoppable Marcus Dowling to talk one of 2015’s most anticipated releases, Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment’s Surf.  The unofficial follow up to Chance The Rapper’s 2013 mixtape Acid Rap, Surf smashes genres, destroys expectations, and elevates the hip hop game in ways that only Chance and his crew could do. Jazz, Hip Hop, Pop, Rock – Surf celebrates an entire history of music, while pulling it gleefully into the future with youthful abandon and surprising sophistication that belies this young crew's years.

PLUS! Record Store Day every week? A Netflix for Vinyl? The details of Spotify’s deal with Sony leaked? A new track off of Louis Weeks’ outstanding new record haha (OUT NOW!!)? We’re talking all of this and more on the podcast you’ve been waiting for all your life, it’s Episode 118 of ChunkyGlasses: The Podcast! 

In our year end podcast, the gang is joined by Dave and Mike from Mittenfields to cover some ground that we might have missed in 2013, offer advice to artists in the year to come, and discover what Kenobi the dog really thinks about Bill Callahan. Chance the Rapper, Minks and more on our special year end blowout. Grab a beer...lord knows we did.
