However, what separates Chance from other artists is that, especially in Coloring Book, he acknowledges his struggles as detrimental to his life and identifies God as a reason for hope and worthy of worship. Some people might see what Chance has gone through and label as him as just another artist who has glorifies sin. To say the least, his rise to the top has been an uphill climb with several dark obstacles. After releasing Acid Rap (which he made most of while under the influence of hallucinogenics) Chance had a 6 month long binge on the prescription drug Xanax. In 2015 his on and off again girlfriend revealed to him that she was pregnant with his daughter. His 10 Days mixtape was a project he made because he was suspended from school after selling drugs to other classmates. Chance has reached a level of popularity and success that some only dream of yet his life has been anything but the glitz and glamour of the stage he’s on now.Ĭhance grew up on the South Side of Chicago and was heavily involved with gang activity. He’s been on everything from Good Morning America to Saturday Night Live, and everywhere in between. The mixtape, which I can best describe as as mainstream rap with Christian messages, became a huge success, landing him three Grammies. A few months after the release of the album, Chance announced that his new mixtape, later officially called Coloring Book, was coming out soon.Ĭoloring Book was an instant hit and was the first streaming-only album to reach the Billboard charts. Outside of a few songs that that got relatively high on the Billboard Charts, Chance wasn’t a household name until his work on Kanye West’s 2016 album The Life of Pablo. Chance followed this with two more projects, Acid Rap and Surf, both of which were praised by fans and critics alike. He posted the mixtape online in 2012 which gathered attention from the Chicago rap scene. The Story of “Lil Chano from 79th”Ĭhancellor Bennett’s career as a rapper started with the release of 10 Day, a mixtape that he created while he was on a ten-day suspension from high school. First, however, you should know the story of the face that is changing modern music. His story and how he uses his stage is inspiring.

He means more to me than just an amazing rapper. If you’ve plugged into the music scene for the past year or so, you’ve seen that Chance the Rapper, a hip-hop artist out of Chicago, has made a roaring entrance and has quickly solidified himself as one of the major artists in the hip-hop genre, as well as a figure on the billboard charts.Īs a Catholic and a hip-hop fan, Chance has been and still is a huge role model for me.
