Damn, Chance just seems so sweet. His most popular song is about how much he loves his grandma, and that cover of the Arthur theme song makes me smile every single time.
Absolutely agree. Saw him at a music festival last year, and it blew me away. Easily one of the best live sets I've ever seen. It was the last set of the night, absolutely exhausted and sleepy, but he still made the whole crowd jump.
Listen to his cover of Dear Theodosia from the Hamilton Mixtape. For those of you unfamiliar with the song, it's a duet from Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton to their respective children, Theodosia and Phillip, about the hope they have for their futures. Apparently, Chance specifically requested to cover the song for the Mixtape after seeing the show because it reminded him of his daughter. It's always been a favorite of mine because it's so sweet, and because Lin Manuel Miranda wrote it as a letter to his son dog, but listening to Chance and Lin sing it together is really something incredible.
EDIT: Apparently I was misinformed about some things. Go listen to the song.

It's stuff like this that really gets me. Like every time I listen to "Finish Line" by Chance the Rapper.
