Concert Review: Chance the Rapper
Consequences of Sound

This past week, I was able to see Chance the Rapper live at the Fox theater in Atlanta, Georgia. Unlike any artist I've seen live before, his concert was filled with tears, laughter and of course singing. From beginning to end, I was impressed with how he kept his audience engaged with every song and only relying on himself, his incredible band, and an interesting story involving a puppet named Carlos.

Chance opened Magnficent Coloring World Tour with "Angels" getting the crowd fully energized before leading into "Blessings." Only five minutes into the 90-minute show and everyone was already on their feet dancing. After this moment, no one would sit down again. Chance would then devote a section of his concert to some of his older music, from earlier mixtapes Acid Rap and 10 Day .

At this moment, the crowd is introduced to a puppet named Carlos who would provide endless entertainment throughout the concert. Interrupting Chance and giving lectures on how he should focus on his newer, more inspirational music, the character will have won the audiences heart by the end of the night. "Don't forget the message, big fella." became a critical line in the concert.

And after performing "Same Drugs" on the piano next to a female puppet, the message became clear to the audience. Performing his verse on "Ultralight Beam", faith became a big part of the concert. Chance performed every song from his latest mixtape Coloring Book, but it was his gospel styles songs, such as "How Great" (How Great is our God" and "Finish Line/Drown" that were truly showstopping.

The message was revealed near the end of the concert halfway through "Blessings (Reprise)". The rapper warned the crowd that " You won't find your blessings on my mixtapes or at my shows." and that "Your blessings aren't made out of flesh, but they are coming."

His encore was his hit "Summer Friends" and "Friends" which he performed with the writer and his opening act Francis and the Lights.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
