​Mixtape Review: Summer Songs 2

By Jack Stringer | July 29

Joining a yacht club has never been easier (if by yacht club it’s actually the group of fans of an 18-year-old rapper from Atlanta and by join it’s actually learning to embrace his idiosyncrasies).

Each and every Chance release is a collaborative, collective effort, and “Coloring Book” is no less.
