"I love my family. I love God. And I love music."

Following the release of two mixtapes, Chance The Rapper's third mixtape, Coloring Book, became the first album to chart on the Billboard 200 based solely on streaming, hitting No. 8.

Chance The Rapper earned the first three GRAMMYs of his career at the 59th GRAMMY Awards, including Best New Artist. He made his GRAMMY stage debut that same year, performing a medley of "How Great" and "All We Got" alongside GRAMMY winners Kirk Franklin and Tamela Mann.
