The Big Day
The Big Day is the debut studio album from Chance The Rapper. Originally, the album was set to continue the style that Chance had found success in originally, using bombastic soul instrumentals and even a promise to have production from Kanye West, who flew to Chicago to help Chance with The Big Day. The work done with Kanye would spiral into the scrapped collaboration album Good Ass Job, and much of the original work done on The Big Day would be scrapped, with the only released material being the six singles Chance would drop throughout 2018. Chance decided he would rework the album months before release, pivoting to a more trap inspired sound that heavily focused on his marriage. The Big Day was criticized for being a step down from Chance's previous works, citing an inconsistent quality and uninspired performances. The release version of The Big Day would become infamous, and the indicator to many that Chance had fallen off.
