Renowned global hip-hop sensation, (Chicago’s very own) Chance the Rapper, has made a thrilling announcement today regarding the launch of The Chance Store, an exclusive retail pop-up set to grace the WNDR Museum in Chicago. This exciting initiative comes as part of the festivities commemorating the ten-year milestone of his acclaimed album, Acid Rap, culminating in a sold-out performance at the United Center on August 19.

Running from August 16 to 20, The Chance Store will play host to a curated collection of limited-edition merchandise, trendy apparel, and accessories. Notable items include the 10th-anniversary edition of the Acid Rap album, available in both vinyl and CD formats, a special collaboration with Lyrical Lemonade, and the iconic “3” hats in Acid Rap color schemes.

Chance the Rapper expresses his enthusiasm for the partnership with WNDR Museum, stating, “The conjunction of creativity and curiosity within the celebration of Acid Rap’s decade mark feels like a vibrant and inspiring fusion. Witnessing The Chance Store come to life and expanding the festivities for the sold-out United Center show is truly gratifying.”
