Chance the Rapper from the south side of Chicago’s Chatham neighborhood has been a great story in 2016, but what do we expect for him in 2017? 
  
Chance had a breakout 2016 with dropping what could be the “Best Verse” in 2016 on Kanye West ultralight beam. He’s a different animal in not just hip hop but in music in general. He has a style that I can listen to his music with my grandma and mom. You can literally feel every word he is saying, he is the best story teller since the late great Notorious B.I.G. that’s what music is about, it’s about telling a story about your personal life. As soon as he dropped His album in 2016 Coloring Book I listened to every song and it was the Best album in music not just hip hop. His album was better than Beyoncé, Drake, Kanye West. The young kid from Chicago took over the WORLD in 2016. 
  
Going into 2017 he will look to cap off his 2016 year by grabbing awards from the Grammy’s in early February. He will have a total of 7 Grammy nominations that night, and did I mention he’s doing all of this without a record deal? It’s not uncommon for older artist to go independent with no label, but for a transcending artist like chance the rapper who I believe will someday take the crown from drake as the biggest music artist in the game, it’s very uncommon. 
  
Sadly enough though, expect Chance to take some time off in 2017. Chance who will turn 24 in April, will just finish rapping up his World tour in January, he will also more than likely go on a Grammy press tour in February before and (if he wins big) after. Chance who is a father of a 1 year old daughter will most definitely take some time and spend it with his family during 2017, with sporadically appearing on talk shows and being featured in songs. Expect him to reflect and be thankful of what he’s accomplished and get ready for him in 2018.-Kevin Brown
