The man. The myth. The legend. Chancellor Jonathan Bennet, AKA Chance the Rapper, is a force to be reckoned with both musically and politically. Not only does this man have rhymes, he also has an immense love for people and his hometown community of Chicago.

His music touches people on a personal level, and his fight to solve injustices in the world make him a role model for many of his fans. Here are a few other reasons that Chance the Rapper is one of the best in the music business and the world.

1. He’s an independent artist, free of a record deal.

This is not due to lack of desire from recording companies wanting Chance. Since he blew up on SoundCloud, companies have been begging to get Chance on their team, but Chance won't even hear it.

With the absence of a record deal, Chance is allowed to have control over his content. He chooses his own actions, and he stands as an example and role model for any independent musician looking for the same success without a binding contract.

2. His music can either pump you up or put you in your feels.

Have you heard “No Problem” yet? What about his feature on Cardi B's "Best Life"? That song will get you through the hardest workout and give you the energy to spare.

“Favorite song” will have you jamming in Abercrombie once your work is finished! However, if you are looking for some heartfelt songs that will give you a one-way ticket into your feels, “Same Drugs” and “Juke Jam” will send you there first class.

3. He’s Daddy, literally.

Go to Chance’s Instagram right now and try to tell me that Chance and his daughter Kensli aren’t the cutest. That’s right. You can’t. Anybody that keeps up with Chance knows that his number one fan is his daughter and that that love goes both ways.

Even though he can’t always be there, Chance is a great father who tries his best to make Kensli happy.

Also, he's a very attractive man that could definitely be my baby daddy if he wanted.

4. All of his music is free!

Yes, you heard that right. Every Chance song is FREE, whether it’s on SoundCloud, Spotify, or any other streaming service. Chance makes his money through touring and other services such as meet and greets. Again, this allows Chance the freedom to do what he wants to do with his career.

5. He works hard to change the Chicago injustices

If you know anything about Chance, you know he is an amazing artist and his love for Chicago is monumental. Through his songs and through his actions, Chance is opening the eyes of the public to the injustices that citizens in Chicago's face.

He works hard to give back to the community he was raised in and fight back against the wrongdoings of corrupt organizations. Some of the issues he is very passionate about are the public school systems and police brutality.

6. His tribute to Muhammad Ali

Have you ever heard this tribute to Muhammad Ali? If not, you are truly missing out. Not only is this a beautiful, breathtaking piece but it is also a wonderful tribute to a great leader in the sports community. Chance does a wonderful job at capturing the attention of millions and shedding light on the impact of Ali.

7. He brings positivity to the rap genre

Finally, listening to Chance the Rapper will always put you in a good mood honestly. Whether it’s a feature or his own content, he will always hype you up or put a smile on your face.

He just has a certain sound about him that just gives you a good feeling, and the way that he carries himself through life is admirable.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
