In this story

In June 2016 the Rive Video Promotion campaign for “No Problem” delivered a short message: Coloring Book was “available now everywhere,” and Chance the Rapper had 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne on the single.

What the Huffington Post saw

To introduce the Chicago artist, the campaign shared a Huffington Post profile. It listed what Chance had already done without a major label: the first free project ever on iTunes, festival headlining slots, a recording with Madonna and two appearances on Saturday Night Live. “He has the opportunity to alter the DNA of hip-hop,” the Huffington Post wrote.

The same profile pointed to the work in Chicago: clothing people experiencing homelessness and hosting poetry slams for young writers.

Why it was in the inbox
