Commemorating the tenth anniversary of his groundbreaking landmark release, \u2018Acid Rap\u2019, Chance the Rapper sold out Brooklyn\u2019s Barclays Centre in an incredible performance alongside stars like Joey Bada$$ and Vic Mensa that left fans across New York City stunned. Following an event of similar magnitude at his home city of Chicago\u2019s United Centre some nights before, Chance defied expectations once again in another show for the ages.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Before Chancelor Bennett shortened his name to Chance and took up rapping, the Chicago rapper already had a much more eventful life than others his age, and he had already met former U.S. President Barack Obama before turning 18, whom he discussed the prospects of a rap career with. Eventually, Bennett took to recording music in the early 2010s, and released his debut mixtape \u201810 Days\u2019 in April 2012 as Chance the Rapper. The release received high praise, and prompted Chance to release a follow-up, \u2018Acid Rap\u2019, a year later, which would become his most universally acclaimed release to this day. There is still demand for Chance to perform \u2018Acid Rap\u2019 in concerts to this day – demand that has been fulfilled ten years later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside aforementioned blockbuster rappers Joey Bada$$ and Vic Mensa, Chance has headlined shows all across the United States through the last month. Delivering consecutive performances of a lifetime to sold-out crowds, Chance hasn\u2019t wasted a breath in performing the cult classic mixtape, and will continue to perform at his highest level yet all the way up until September 21st, when the tour completes at Los Angeles\u2019s Kia Forum, formerly home to the Los Angeles Kings and Lakers. Tickets are still available for the Kia Forum performance – check it out before it\u2019s too late through the link below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
