Chance The Rapper Owns This Take Of "Ultralight Beam" Live In Raleigh

We've lived The Life Of Pablo for over a month now, basking in the glory of the album's mantra-like opener "Ultralight Beam." Since the album's release, the lone live performance of that breathtaking cut has come in the form of Kanye's typically-chaotic SNL performance, joined by Chance The Rapper, Kirk Franklin, Kelly Price and a full choir.

But who woulda thought that Chano would be the one to bring it back and so delightfully? Last night at a tour stop in Raleigh, NC, Pablo's other south-sider performed an absolutely stunning rendition of the spirited cut live and with all of the passion you'd expect from such an uncharacteristically seasoned performer (at just 22 years of age, no less.) Best of all, the set was caught by a kind soul in the crowd, who shared the clip for all of the internets to enjoy. You can watch Chance The Rapper sweep all of Raleigh up into the "Ultralight Beam" down below. If you're looking to have your own close-encounter with Chano, you can catch the beam tonight in Charlotte or back in his hometown of Chicago on April 8th.
