Chance the Rapper Dissects ‘Star Line’ Track by Track

Chance the Rapper and Dissect’s Cole Cuchna sit for an in-depth, track-by-track breakdown of Chance’s new album, Star Line. They dig into the meaning behind the album’s title, the symbolism of its artwork, and the historical references woven throughout—from Marcus Garvey and the Black Star Line to the Wattstax documentary and beyond.

Chance dissects specific lyrics, discusses the spiritual and political threads running through the project, and shares how themes of resistance, memory, and Black liberation shaped the sound and vision of Star Line.

This is the definitive deep dive into Chance’s most ambitious work to date.
