Chance the Rapper, an independent rapper, meaning that he has not signed with a record label, is the only independent artist to have ever won a Grammy. In fact, he has won 3 already. His “church-type” music has changed the rap culture for the past couple of albums or mixtape he has published. Chance, a proud Christian and someone that does not shy away from thanking God for everything he has done, does not charge for his music. In fact, his music is completely free. It is very rare,  if not unique, for an artist to not earn money from selling their music. The money he earns comes from endorsements deals and merchandise, as well as from touring. I write all this to let you have an idea of what kind of person Chance the Rapper really is. He is a devoted Christian who has never changed his beliefs after becoming famous. He is what people label as a “real” artist and rapper.

Chance the Rapper, a 23 year old rapper, born in Chicago has done some great things for his community already. At such a young age, he has done what many could not do in a lifetime. His genuine work to make Chicago’s public schools system has not gone unnoticed. Also, his dedication to help Chicago’s public schools did not start when he donated that million dollar. He actually met with the governor of Illinois, Bruce Rauner where Chance admitted that his talks with the governor “accomplished nothing”. Still, that meeting did not stop him from doing what he thought was best for his community.

Back to the main story, Chance’s donation will be divided among 10 public elementary schools and public schools. His donation is funded through a portion of proceeds gained from the upcoming tour he is going to do.

This work is not the first time Chance has done for his community. During the presidential election, he held free-of-cost attendance concerts and also held a voter-registration drive at the Magnificent Coloring Day Festival.
