"No Problem" is a song by American rapper Chance the Rapper featuring fellow American rappers Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz. Produced by Brasstracks, it was released on May 26, 2016 as the second single from his third mixtape Coloring Book.[1]

Background

The song was first teased on Chance's Snapchat in January 2016. It later premiered as an exclusive in Zane Lowe's Beats 1 radio program ahead of Chance's mixtape Coloring Book, which was released the following day.[2]

Critical reception

Rolling Stone named "No Problem" one of the 30 best songs of the first half of 2016, stating: "This streaming-only star sounds like he's giving an ultimatum to the record industry: 'If one more label try to stop me / It's gon' be some dreadhead niggas in your lobby.' But the gospel choir in the background makes it feel more like an ecstatic celebration of his blessings."[3]

"No Problem" was included on several best-of-2016 song rankings. Billboard ranked it at number 13 on their "100 Best Pop Songs of 2016" list,[4] while Pitchfork listed it at number 12 on their 100 best songs of 2016.[5] Later, they ranked it at number 162 on their "200 Best Songs of the 2010s" list.[6] Village Voice, in their annual Pazz & Jop mass critics poll of the year's best in music in 2016, ranked "No Problem" at number 11.[7]

Music video

The song's accompanying music video premiered on May 26, 2016 on Chance's YouTube channel.[8] Directed by Austin Vesely and Chance the Rapper,[9] the video features celebrity appearances from DJ Khaled and Young Thug, among others. By December 2020, the song's official music video has amassed over 150 million views, which makes it Chance's most viewed video on his YouTube channel.
