After making history a few days ago and becoming the first artist to ever win a Grammy without actually selling a record, Chance The Rapper is soaring into 2017 of a cloud of confidence. 2016 was huge for Chance with release of the follow up to Acid Rap, Coloring Book, which topped nearly ever best of list in the music industry. He crushed every live performance he had the opportunity to play and even had the honor of preforming for Barrack Obama at last year’s White House Tree Lighting. The praise seemed to never stop for the young Chicago Emcee who is doing all of this completely independent from any record Label. That in itself is an astonishing feat.
