When is a debut album not really a debut album? When it’s Chance the Rapper’s disc The Big Day. Sure, the disc (pictured above) will be the Chicago artist’s first “official” release. But since he’s already released a trio of full-length mixtapes, that’s basically just a question of semantics. In any case — and whatever you want to to call it — Chance’s Big Day arrives July 26. Of course, it’s far from the only new album on the way — today’s other announcements included new discs from rapper Rick Ross, alt-rockers Vivian Girls, Canadian country and folk icons Ian & Sylvia Tyson and plenty more. Check out the rest of today’s offerings below, and don’t forget to bookmark the Upcoming Releases page to see the entire list of future albums at a glance.
