At a young age, parents teach their kids the importance of grit and never giving up. If you want something, you go get and get it. Chance The Rapper is a perfect example of someone who has refused to give up.
Being an artist, he has every right to live in tribulation since the music industry is so rough. But time after time, he finds a way to succeed. His music is extremely catchy and he finds a way to connect with his listeners.
An interesting fact about him is his relationship with Childish Gambino. First starting off, Donald Glover (also known for his stage name "Childish Gambino") was acting for the most part. But once he switched his career to music, that gave the opportunity for Chance to showcase his talent as well. It's always interesting to see fellow performers help each other succeed.
Aside from his interesting friend group, this man is raw and genuine when it comes to his music. He tells it as it is. I think that's why so many people relate to his tunes because he makes his lyrics relatable and realistic. Most rap songs you hear today are vulgar and inappropriate, relating either to drugs or sex. People, for the most part, aren't committing heists and soliciting illegal substances, which is what modern artists write about. But with Chance, he keeps it honest and portrays how he cares more about the messages he's sending rather than the words he's saying.
One of the reasons why he is so inspirational to this generation is the fact that he literally started at the bottom. He has relentlessly refused labels and sponsors as an artist. He has made it very clear from the beginning that he wants his music to sell because of what he is writing, not because it was just heavily promoted.
Within the past week, Chance The Rapper released a video to his song, "Same Drugs."
Him releasing this video was just another example of how free he is when it comes to promoting his music. On Twitter he made the announcement that the video would be out the following week. But within five minutes he tweeted again, deciding to just release the video right away. This not only showed how flexible he is as an artist but also how great he is with his fans as well.
His hard work has officially paid off though, landing him multiple Grammy nominations. He is also set to perform at the award ceremony as well, showing the world that dedication and persistence can get you places.
Chance The Rapper has made a significant impact on the music world, successfully earning the respect he deserves from his fellow performers.
