Chance The Rapper has been announced as one of the three performers for Block Party 2016. He will take the Carrier Dome stage alongside The Chainsmokers and Jon Bellion. Here are five Chance The Rapper songs you should definitely be able to sing along to on April 29:

“Juice”

This song has a chill beat, classic hip hop rhythms and over 10 million plays on YouTube. Chance’s use of varying voices and vocal tricks during the song makes his lyrics especially intriguing.

“Favorite Song”

Chance sings and raps his way through this song with the help of fellow rapper Childish Gambino, and it’s obvious they had fun performing together. The two laugh along to lyrics like, “This shit my favorite song, you just don’t know the words. But I still f*** with you, you just ain’t never heard.”

“Cocoa Butter Kisses”

If you’re looking to kick back with your friends and laugh, this song is perfect. With a faster beat than “Juice,” “Cocoa Butter Kisses” has a happy vibe laced with Chance’s signature varying tempos and smooth crooning.

“Sunday Candy”

Backed by drums and deep, booming brass instruments, “Sunday Candy” is a cute love song Chance performed with his group The Social Experiment and artist Donnie Trumpet. Chance’s voice harmonizes with female vocals for lyrics like, “You gotta move it slowly. Take it in my body like it’s holy. I’ve been waiting for you for the whole week. I’ve been praying for you, you’re my Sunday candy.”

“Somewhere in Paradise”

One of Chance’s slower songs, “Somewhere in Paradise” is great to listen to when relaxing on a rainy day. With smooth beats covered by light female vocals and Chance’s loud, confident voice, this song will have you quietly nodding your head along.
