Chance the Rapper' is many things. I'm constantly evolving.

Everybody's somebody's everything

I think our duty as American citizens is to be involved and engaged in anything that affects us. As an artist, I have to use my platform, and as a dad, a brother, and a black man, I have to be as socially woke and present as possible.

Both of my parents graduated from high school, both attended college, both have government jobs now. They've always been very adamant about me finishing high school and finishing college.

Depending on the story that you're telling, you can be relatable to everybody or nobody. I try and tell everybody's story.

It wasn't until I left that I realised it's not weird to grow up in certain cities and, by the age of 27 or 28, for all of your friends to still be alive. I can think of a lot of kids that I knew in Chicago who were supposed to grow up but didn't.

My favorite artist in the world is Michael Jackson, and he revolutionized the music video aspect of music.
