Chance the Rapper’s recently-dropped mixtape Coloring Book has been one of the most epic, vivid, and emotionally-charged hip-hop/R&B releases in recent memory. Now, the Chicago rapper is about to go on an equally epic world excursion, dubbed the Magnificent Coloring World Tour. So far, only the North American portion of the shows has been announced, but European dates will be revealed later this week.
As Rolling Stone points out, Coloring Book has made a groundbreaking entrance, debuting at #8 on the Billboard 200 chart without any physical sales to back it; the record is currently only available online. Also, thanks to a recent change in the Grammys’s nomination criteria, Coloring Book will be up for an award just like a regular album (and something tells me it’ll definitely be a contender).
