INSPIRATION

Imagery is the focus of the album cover; the clean orange linework pays homage to Soundcloud, where Chance first shared his mixtape. The soundbars are used to depict the skyline of Chicago. A section of the soundbar is greyed out, to send the message that there is still progress to be made in Chicago by Chance and others.

Chance emerged as an artist by writing his first mixtape while serving a ten-day suspension from high school. Now, two albums later, he is a public schools champion and leverages his platform to give back to his city. The dust jacket for Chance's theoretical autobiography, Suspended to Extended, focuses specifically on his activism.
