Chance The Rapper Talks Fatherhood, Joy and Potentially Selling His Debut Album

Nobody in hip-hop or elsewhere has enjoyed the type of sky-high ascent Chance The Rapper has earned over the last year.

Taking home three Grammys for his third tape, Coloring Book, Chance opened a door for independent musicians that will hopefully never close. He's also lit up stages across the globe with The Social Experiment and become hip-hop's most beloved son with diehard activism in his hometown of Chicago, where he just donated $1 million to the public education system.

In a recent interview with Complex for their first-ever digital cover story, Chance reflects on this most triumphant year and how the joy of fatherhood fueled his groundbreaking campaign. At only 23-years-old, the Chicago rapper speaks with seasoned sentimentality, detailing the moment he saw his daughter come into the world, and how it shook his foundation, forcing him to grow up in a hurry. He also delves into the prospect of selling his forthcoming debut album, though we'll let him explain that in his own words.
