“It’s a deep thing that's hard for me to articulate, but I thought of the Coloring Book as: you're as a parent, you're teaching these lessons, but you're also setting up certain boundaries and outlines for the kids to work within,” Chance The Rapper told Complex of the project’s title. “And I thought Coloring Book kind of gave off that same idea of ‘I'm giving you the means to create, but I'm also giving you certain parameters to work with.’”

Chance The Rapper will host a Coloring Book movie night on Saturday (May 16) to celebrate the milestone anniversary of the monumental mixtape, per the Chicago Tribune. The sold-out event will take place at Rooftop Cinema Club Fulton Market, featuring a screening of Chance The Rapper’s convert film and a Q&A session.

Chance The Rapper announced “The Coloring Book 10 Tour” on Thursday morning (May 14). Tickets will be available to the general public beginning at 10 a.m. local time on Thursday, May 21. See the list of tour stops below. Find Chance The Rapper’s music on iHeartRadio here.
