In what may be his most personal release yet, Chance the Rapper has delivered the gripping ‘Buried Alive.’

When not addressing his recent marital woes (including a highly publicized split from his soon-to-be ex-wife Kirsten Corley Bennett), the GRAMMY winner used the lyrics to reflect on professional, spiritual, and even mental health struggles.

Produced by DexLvL, the new song comes as the latest taste of music expected to line his forthcoming album ‘Star Line Gallery’ (due later this year).
