CHANCE THE RAPPER – THE KING OF
INDEPENDENCE
WRITER: BJ JONES
Hailing from Chicago, Chance the
Rapper became a household name
without signing to a major label. His
2013 mixtape Acid Rap gained massive
recognition, but it was Coloring Book
(2016) that solidified his place in hip-hop
history. By leveraging streaming
platforms, engaging directly with fans,
and monetizing his music through
touring and merchandise, Chance
became a Grammy-winning artist—
proving that independence can lead to
mainstream success.
