Overview

• Critics largely praise the first full-length since 2019’s The Big Day, characterizing it as a confident reset for the Chicago rapper.
• The album’s title and themes invoke Marcus Garvey’s Black Star Line, foregrounding pan‑African ideals and community-focused Black politics.
• Collaborators include Lil Wayne, Jay Electronica, Jazmine Sullivan, Joey Bada$$ and Young Thug across a palette that spans Afrobeats, drill and gospel‑pop inflections.
• Personal material runs through the project, addressing divorce and grief, with “Space & Time” focusing on co‑parenting that Chance discussed on CBS Mornings.
• Jay Electronica’s verse on “Just a Drop” invites renewed scrutiny due to longstanding antisemitism allegations, even as tracks like “The Highs & The Lows” draw strong acclaim.
