The Big Day, which, in 2019, was technically his debut album, features art from Sara Shakeel instead. The choice to tap Breaux again\u2014and the painted, semi-psychedelic image\u2014suggests that Chance remembers what works, and wants to tap back into some of that mid-2010s sauce that proved so successful.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1854903916\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1854903916\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/chancetherapper_1753983427_3689002819869661868_182196805.jpg\" alt=\"Chance The Rapper starline album art\" width=\"854\" height=\"854\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1854903916\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chance The Rapper\/Instagram<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in July, Chance released \u201cTree,\u201d featuring Lil Wayne and Smino, as the lead single for Star Line.
