#1 There are days when we are forced to be from every other place in America. I still go to watch fireworks, or I still go to watch the brief burst of brightness glow on the faces of black children, some of whom have made it downtown, miles away from the forgotten corners of the city.

#2 2016 was a year of hope, but not in the way that it is often packaged as an antithesis to what is burning. It was a brief breath to take in something that didn’t taste of whatever was holding you under.

#3 Chance the Rapper is always smiling, or seems like he always could be on the verge of smiling. He is mostly teeth, and carries an expressive nature that pushes and pulls his brow in various directions while he raps or speaks, but his mouth is always pushing the edges of a smile.

#4 I went to Chicago in late May of 2016. I found myself crammed into a seat on a school bus driving through the city to an undisclosed location. Chance carried me there, strictly on the promise of something spectacular. It was the first time in years that an artist made me believe in their capacity for the unbelievable.
