Chance the Rapper Biography

Chance the Rapper has become one of hip-hop's most influential independent artists. Raised in Chicago’s South Side, Chance was introduced to music through his parents’ love for jazz and soul and Chicago’s rich hip-hop scene. He began recording music in high school, and after a short suspension, he wrote his debut mixtape, "10 Day," which he released in 2012. The mixtape quickly gained a following, attracting the attention of the Chicago music scene and sparking a new era for unsigned artists seeking to make it on their own terms.

In 2013, Chance released his breakthrough mixtape, "Acid Rap," which gained critical acclaim and established him as a rising star in hip-hop. Known for its introspective lyrics, soulful beats, and genre-blending style, "Acid Rap" showcased Chance’s talent and fearless approach to music, mixing rap with gospel, jazz, and R&B elements. The success of "Acid Rap" caught the attention of major record labels, but Chance famously chose to remain independent, distributing his music directly to fans via online platforms. This decision helped him redefine the music industry’s approach to distribution, and he became a symbol of independence for other emerging artists. "Acid Rap" was also nominated for Best Mixtape at the 2013 BET Hip Hop Awards, further bolstering his reputation in the music industry.

In 2016, Chance released "Coloring Book," his third mixtape and a milestone in his career. Featuring collaborations with Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Justin Bieber, "Coloring Book" was the first streaming-only album to receive a Grammy Award, winning three, including Best Rap Album. The single "No Problem" from "Coloring Book" also won Best Rap Performance at the Grammy Awards. The mixtape resonated deeply with fans for its uplifting themes of faith, family, and community and its signature gospel influence. Chance's success with "Coloring Book" established him as a major force in hip-hop and an innovator challenging traditional industry norms. He was also included in XXL's annual freshman class in 2014, listed number 7 on Forbes' "30 Under 30" music list in 2015, and won Best New Artist at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards.

Beyond music, Chance has become known for his philanthropic work, particularly his commitment to improving Chicago's public schools. In 2017, he donated $1 million to the Chicago Public Schools system and launched the SocialWorks organization, which empowers young people through arts, education, and civic engagement. Chance’s influence extends beyond the studio; he’s a role model for his dedication to his community, family, and values. From headlining festivals to advocating for social change, Chance the Rapper continues to be an artist who blends music with purpose, embodying the spirit of independence and activism. He has been recognized for his efforts, including receiving Chicago's "Outstanding Youth of the Year Award" by Mayor Rahm Emanuel in November 2014. Chance has also been actively involved in social activism, endorsing political candidates and meeting with former President Obama to discuss the My Brother's Keeper Challenge.

In recent years, Chance the Rapper has further solidified his place in the music world, releasing his debut studio album "The Big Day" on July 26, 2019. Chance has also transitioned into television, serving as a coach on "The Voice" in spring 2023 and returning for the spring 2024 season. He also hosted the "Punk'd" reboot on Quibi in January 2020 and the 2020 Kids' Choice Awards.
