Chancelor Johnathan Bennett, better known as Chance the Rapper, is an American hip hop recording artist who came into prominence for his rap music. Born in Chicago, Illinois, Bennett had a passion for singing from an early age. He wanted to be a musician, even though his father wanted him to land a white-collar job. Bennett formed his own hip-hop duo called ‘Instrumentality’ with a friend. A soul and jazz enthusiast, it was Kanye West’s debut album ‘The College Dropout’ that sparked Bennett’s interest in hip-hop. Forsaking his studies, Bennett took to music professionally. Though he released several singles and a mixtape, it was his second mixtape ‘Acid Rap’ that truly launched his career. Bennett’s professional graph peaked further with his third mixtape ‘Coloring Book’ that earned him three ‘Grammy’ nominations. It also became the first streaming-only album ever to receive a ‘Grammy’ nomination. Other than his solo ventures, Bennett has clubbed with various other musicians. He collaborated with the lead vocalist of the band ‘The Social Experiment’ to come up with a popular album titled ‘Surf.’
