Chance the Rapper<\/a>\u2019s debut album, The Big Day<\/em>, is set to arrive July 26th. The rapper went on The Tonight Show<\/a><\/em> to reveal the news to host Jimmy Fallon<\/a>, who agreed to pre-order the album in return for Chance spilling the title, release date and cover art. The album had previously been available for pre-order with no actual details revealed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t sold my projects before,\u201d Chance explained to the audience. \u201cA lot of my projects were free. This is my debut album, so there\u2019s a pre-order and I told Jimmy to pre-order my album. And he was like, \u2018If you say the release date on my show.’\u201d<\/p>\n

The Big Day<\/em>, a follow-up to Chance\u2019s 2016 release Coloring Book<\/em>, is available for pre-order<\/a> now for those who want to be like Fallon.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Chance The Rapper Album in July (@chancetherapper) July 17, 2019<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The rapper also played a round of \u201cBox of Lies\u201d with Fallon (spoiler alert: Chance is not a good liar) and revealed that he had a secret role on the new live-action remake of The Lion King<\/em>. Donald Glover<\/a>, who voices Simba, tapped the rapper to become a \u201cnostalgia consultant\u201d on the film.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe contacted me while they were working on it and was like \u2018Hey I told Jon Favreau, the director, that you were a huge fan and he wants you to come in as a nostalgia consultant to tell him what \u201990s kids like about The Lion King<\/em>,’\u201d Chance shared. \u201cSo that\u2019s what I did.\u201d He added, \u201cIt did get me another gig. I did a little bit of slight vocal work on the animated film. You won\u2019t know it\u2019s me. It\u2019s very weird. I do, like, a lot of the background noises. In very small parts, like if you see an antelope grazing or something.\u201d<\/p>\n
