The Big Day (album)

The Big Day is the debut studio album by American rapper Chance the Rapper, released on July 26, 2019. The album follows several mixtapes by the rapper including the reissue of his collaborative Merry Christmas Lil' Mama in 2017, and was his first solo project since Coloring Book in 2016. The album was heavily influenced by Chance's marriage to his then wife. While initial reviews from critics were positive, it received widespread negative attention from fans on social media and other Internet communities citing inconsistencies of quality throughout the work, and retrospective reviews from critics have been more negative. In November 2024, Rolling Stone ranked it at number 50 on its list of The 50 Most Disappointing Albums of All Time. The album debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200, Chance's highest-charting entry to date.

For the album, Chance worked with several songwriters including Darius Scott, Dwayne Verner, Jr., along with The Social Experiment members Greg Landfair, Nate Fox and Peter Wilkins, among others.
