Juvenile has added to the excitement for Chance The Rapper‘s upcoming album Star Line after attending a private listening session.
While the Chicago rapper has announced public listening events, titled Writings on the Wall, across the U.S., Juvie got his own special preview of the highly-anticipated project in his hometown of New Orleans.

The Cash Money legend was impressed by both the music itself and the audio-visual experience of the listening event, calling them “amazing.”
In a video posted on Chance’s Instagram, he gushed: “This shit is one of the greatest experiences. First of all, the music is so touching, right? But this technology is so great. You can feel that shit in your body.

“Then you’re seeing the words and you got the headphones [on] listening to the music. It’s like a sing-a-long song, right? When you get to the next hook, you should know the words. This shit is amazing.”
Another clip shows Juvenile listening to Star Line with glow-in-the-dark headphones on and saying: “Wow… Chance, this is fucking amazing” while applauding.

Chano added in the caption:”Had to give my guy @juviethegreat a lil private listening between the NOLA #writingsonthewall sessions.
“I wanna thank the good folks over there at @studio_be_ especially @bmike2c for collaborating in such a meaningful way and bringing Juvie and @pjmorton thru. Cant wait for the next one y’all.”
Chance The Rapper has been teasing Star Line for a while, sharing a video earlier this year that hinted at features from the likes of Lil Wayne, Lil Yachty, Jermaine Dupri, T-Pain, Jazze Pha and Vic Mensa.
He also worked with the legendary DJ Premier on the recent single “Together,” which found him calling for housing justice in his native Chicago.

While a release date has yet to be announced, Chance recently said that he was nearly done making the album.
In an interview with Complex, the Grammy-winner said: “I’ma say [it’s] 83 [percent finished]. 83.5, 82.7, you know what I’m saying? We’re living in the project right now.
“The thing is, no one has the attention span for what the conversation needs to be. So I’m piecing it together, I’m living in it with my fans, with the new artists I come in contact with.”
He added: “I’m really enjoying this process time. Because sometimes the process time is really stressful and hectic. For my last project, I’d just gotten married, I just had a baby, I was about to separate from my management. Like, I had so many things going on.

“And now, it’s not like ain’t shit going on — it’s a lot going on — but I’m really able to revel in the creative process and put everything into that and be 100 percent myself and present in the now.”
Star Line will serve as the follow-up to Chance’s debut studio album The Big Day, which arrived in 2019 to largely negative reviews.
