Chance The Rapper has something to prove.

Chance The Rapper is an artist who has been through quite a bit over the last five years. Overall, when he dropped The Big Day back in 2019, there was this sense that he was on the verge of superstardom. That he was entering the Big Three alongside Kendrick Lamar and Drake. However, that did not happen for him. Instead, the album was absolutely panned by critics, with many calling it the worst album of that year. It was a disappointing time for Chance, and since then, his star has mostly faded from the limelight.

However, he has been teasing a comeback for quite some time. This past week, he revealed that he would be dropping a new mixtape called Star Line. While there is no official release date, fans do believe it is coming soon. Today, however, Chance The Rapper delighted fans by coming through with a new song called "Buried Alive." You can watch the music video for the track down below, and you will notice that there is a cool sci-fi theme going on here.

Quotable Lyrics:

Then they threw the dirt on the casket
And into the hunt for the baby and the basket
Nobody Moses, alone with the mallet
That's when the pen turned the stone to a tablet
Jailbreak stylus, I chiseled like Shawshank
I fought for my life, Ray Gibson, Claude Banks\
