Chance the Rapper
{
Chancelor Johnathan Bennett (born April 16, 1993), known professionally as Chance the Rapper, is an American rapper. Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, he released his debut mixtape 10 Day (2012) during one of his high school suspensions. He gained mainstream recognition in 2013 following the release of his second mixtape, Acid Rap.
His third mixtape, Coloring Book (2016), was met with further critical acclaim and commercial success, peaking at number eight on the Billboard 200 as an independent release. At the 59th Annual Grammy Awards, Bennett won Best New Artist and the mixtape became the first streaming-only album to win a Grammy Award—Best Rap Album—while it spawned the single "No Problem" (featuring 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne), which won Best Rap Performance.
His debut studio album, The Big Day (2019), peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 and saw moderate critical reception from critics and largely negative reviews from fans. Bennett announced the release of his second album, Star Line, in July 2025 after a nearly 2-year album rollout that included a legacy tour, various festival acts, and sporadic singles and music videos.
In addition to his solo career, Bennett is a member of the Chicago-based collective Savemoney, and is a lead vocalist for the hip hop band the Social Experiment, led by trumpeter Nico Segal. The band released their album Surf in 2015. He has since been prolific in social activism and philanthropic endeavors in his hometown.
