The rapper’s new album Star Line is not expected to shine on the Billboard 200.
According to mid-week estimates, the project tracked only the top 20 in the first week of its debut.
Star Line also expects to move only 22,000 equivalent units in the first week of sale.
These numbers stand out from Chance’s previous album The Big Day, which ranked second in the first week with week two and sold 108,000 equivalent units.
In addition to giving up his first album in six years, Chance also targeted Donald Trump’s ice attacks that have been taking place in much of the country in recent months.
The Chicago rapper’s speech at the Cruz show did not hide his feelings about the highly controversial raid on the ICE.
“It’s really disgusting. I think we’re just in a place where people are afraid to really fight the system.
Opportunity added: “I think we’re just in a place where we feel helpless at times and they don’t know how to fight. My voice and my pen are my gifts, you know? And then on the other side, my body has my body and one day I’m going to have to revolutionize my body. I hope it’s not going to be fast soon. I have kids. I have kids.”
He continued: “The competition is already very late. We are now in the fall of the empire. That’s how we grow up, we are radical kids who happen to be in our 30s.
