Last week, Chance the Rapper dropped his long awaited Chance 3 mix tape "Coloring Book." The album was so fresh that, according to MTV, there literally is not a single line that has yet to be tweeted. To celebrate its release the Chicago rapper hosted an AMA (or Ask Me Anything) and listening party on Reddit. Topics covered in the AMA ranged from Chance's favorite cereals to his experience being an independent artist in the music industry. Here are some of the highlights from Chance's AMA.
