#Chance The Rapper - Far from the Box

By
Chancelor Johnathan Bennett (born April 16, 1993), known professionally as Chance the Rapper, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer from the West Chatham neighborhood of Chicago,Illinois. In his freshman year at Jones College Prep High School, Chance formed the hip-hop duo Instrumentality with a friend. At Jones College Prep High School, some of his teachers ridiculed his aspirations to become a musician. Following a 10-day suspension in early 2011 during his senior year for possessing marijuana on campus, Bennett recorded his first full-length project, a mixtape titled 10 Day. In 2013, he began to gain recognition following the release of his second mixtape, Acid Rap.Acid Rap was listed on multiple 50 best albums of 2013 lists, including 26th for Rolling Stone,12th on Pitchfork's list,and ranked 4th byComplex.It was also listed as one of NPR Music's 50 Favorite Albums of 2013. Chance embarked on his Social Experiment Tour, in Champaign, Illinois on October 25, 2013, lasting until December 19, 2013. His strong fanbase continued to fund his career without a record label, opening up time to mold a passion project in Surf and serve his Chicago community.After a year of promoting #SaveChicago to combat the city’s rising violence, Chance received Chicago’s Outstanding Youth of the Year Award. January 2015, Bennett was listed number 7 on the "Forbes 30 Under 30" 2015 music list.
In 2016, Chance co-wrote and appeared on Kanye West's album The Life of Pablo.In May 2016, Chance released his third mixtape Coloring Book to further critical acclaim. It earned him three Grammy awards, including for Best Rap Album. Coloring Bookwas the first streaming-only album to ever receive and win a Grammy nomination.
 He is currently on tour and has already sold out tickets for shows in June
He recently shared the story on how he was paid $500,000 and offered a commercial to post his album colouring book for 2 weeks on apple exclusively before a wider release in 2016.


When asked if he thought about signing with a record label ,this was his reply There's no reason to. It's a dead industry. Chance has pursued a solo artistic vision outside the usual norm of a record label. He sees himself as a mainstream artist, from studio to fans. The business  world already knows him for redefining the music businesss boundaries. By working outside the system, Chance has managed to stay closely in touch with his city, his community and his musical and lyrical inspirations.
Do you want to be like chance the rapper? Yes, then don't even think that the box exists, do not despair or be discouraged.

CHAPTER ONE THE MEETING EPISODE ONE Echoesminds. com/Maureen They say life is a long story about how we died, it truly is, and this is truly a long story of one of the most beautiful, friendly and gorgeous minds ever seen, a mind that ended unexpectedly, unfortunately so soon, sooner than anyone could have ever expected, was the sacrifice worth it?  “Maureen, do not take a step out of that door, mama asked you to clean the kitchen before leaving, and I will make sure you see to this before you step out”, Debbie insisted, “but you can do that for me and I will help you out in the evening with the dishes, I just need to leave now, I told Sarah I would make it early to her house, so she can help me with the making of my hair before her younger brother returns, please let me go” Maureen insisted holding and pecking Debbie as she spoke and immediately runs out of the house. “Please, watch the road carefully before crossing ooo Idiot”, Debbie screamed out through the windo...

ALWAYS A LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS

By
Many have been so broken, to the extend they see everything about life as dark. Some have even lost the hope of anything good in life. So take life as "Nothing good comes out of it". Verse versa, So many good people have spent their entire life tagging some others as total darkness, but No, there is nothing of such as total darkness, there is always a light in every darkness, waiting to shine, but it needs more attention to do that. Remember, " more charging time is to power the brightness of the touch" the moment you stop charging, then gradually it goes brim and finally dies off. So have we failed to help some people let their light shine by casting them out, not giving a single chance to them. So I inspire you today to stand by those whom you ones tagged as darkness, you could do that from a far not necessarily physically close. The same goes to you who have tagged the world as dark and given up hope, there are is a light out there for you deep within the darkne...
