Chance the Rapper has released a new trailer for his upcoming concert film, Magnificent Coloring World.
The movie, directed by Jake Schreier, showcases a secret concert that Chance filmed in 2017, right after he had taken home three Grammy awards for his mixtape, Coloring Book. The concert — held in the rapper’s hometown of Chicago in front of a select groups of fans — was intentionally staged to be filmed for a movie.
The trailer provides a first look at Chance’s high-energy performance with never-before-seen footage, along with testimonials from fans who attended to the unique concert experience. At the end of the preview, Chance speaks on the euphoric sensation of performing in front of a crowd, saying, “Hearing these giant choral sounds — it hits you right in the heart.”
On top of leading the editing process for the film, Chance is also self-distributing the project under his House of Kick’s umbrella.
Magnificent Coloring World will first premiere in Los Angeles on August 13, before premiering in New York the following day. The film will screen exclusively at AMC theaters. Pre-sale tickets for screenings will be available for purchase beginning Friday, July 16.
Elsewhere in music, SZA is releasing her first-ever set of NFTs celebrating her live performance highlights.
