Not signing with a music label as a struggling artist, not chasing the royalties, giving the music out for free all this is so inspiring. I hope more people follow suit and appreciate their hustle and grind. Major props.

Haters must be hating because they are jealous of him. FACTS: He believed in Chance and stayed with him through the blood, sweat, and tears, throughout the learning curve, and comes across as very down to earth. He did not take credit for things that were not his, and gave tons of credit to the artists he mentions. CONCLUSION: All I have is respect for this guy, regardless of what he looks like.

I love how he was so determined to make it in his early days doing internships or putting on shows for artists, falling on his ass and getting back up during the process. He didn't rely on his parents despite how wealthy they are. Not a lot of rich kids/young adults have that kind of work ethic or would be willing to beg for jobs or to grab someone else's coffee, knowing that they can just fall back on their parents financially.

How Chance went from Underground to a mainstream star in just 3 years is nothing short of inspiring. Not everyone has that kind of management behind them that's unfortunate but I'm glad Chance made it because he has all the star power and the humbleness of an average hardworking everyday person he deserves to be where he is nobody can tell me any different.

bro, parents spend tens of thousands of dollars on their kids for college. 1500 doesnt make you sh!t. He had a father who installed good values in him, that's far more valuable and that's what you need. His parents didn't support him - they were against it, if you listened to the interview.
