Chance The Rapper was a name that used to rule the world of Hip Hop, after the release of Coloring Book, Acid Rap, and 10 Day Chance felt like an artist that could never fail.

Six years later Redveil is making a name for himself long after Chance’s era.

Chance The Rapper or Chancelor Bennett started his early career with his first mixtape, 10 Day when he was only 18 years old.

10 years later Redveil or Marcus Morton released his third album Learn 2 Swim at 18 years old.

Both young artists soon found success through their breakout hit, but will Redveil make the same mistakes Chance did or will he continue his success?

Chance in 2011 got caught on campus with marijuana and was suspended for 10 days, inspiring his mixtape 10 Day. Eight months after that incident Chance would release his first mixtape.

Chance was an artist whose fame blew up and with that came people’s expectations. During the 2012 tour Chance would be working on his new mixtape, Acid Rap.

This new work would delve into Chance and his relationship with drugs and smoking. Chance would meet the expectations put on him and even surpass them, Acid Rap really showed Chance’s talent for making music.

With his talent Chance would continue to rise in the Hip Hop scene.

Chance’s last mixtape would come out to critical acclaim and became the first project ever to chart solely because of streams.

In May of 2016 after almost three years of radio silence about his next project Chance would release Coloring Book.

Once again It felt like Chance had surpassed his previous work and with it Chance took his spot on top of the music world. Over the next three years Chance would tour two times all while working on The Big Day.

Despite how much time he put in, his first studio album would not turn out the way fans or Chance wanted. At nowhere near the quality of his past works, fans were left wondering what could have led to such a failure.

About a year after The Big Day was released, the public would find out the reasons behind the subpar album. During the recording sessions Chance reportedly had “Procrastination and lackadaisical effort.”

Chance’s future is now full of uncertainty, with no clue on when or if he will release another mixtape or album.

Redveil was just 12 when he got into making music, but it wouldn’t be until 16 that he would release his first album, Bittersweet City.

His first album wouldn’t give him immediate success but instead lay the groundwork for his future projects. Just under a year later Marcus would drop his second album Niagara, Marcus’ breakout hit would not come until about a year and a half later.

Learn 2 Swim would come out to almost instant success because of the lead single, pg baby.

After blowing up the expectations on Marcus increased ten-fold. For right now we have no clue if Marcus will keep up the trend of improving with every work, or if he will stumble like Chance.
