Here's How Chance the Rapper Will Secure Mainstream Radio Play
#RapperRadio aims to “bring independent music to the airwaves.”
Chance the Rapper has always made his desire to remain independent clear, but there are obvious limitations that come with being an internationally renowned artist without a label. To secure airtime for songs from his new mixtape, Coloring Book, Chance has launched a brand new website that allows fans to send out Twitter requests to their local radio stations. Once you’ve entered your city, ‘Rapper Radio’ generates a tweet asking to hear “No Problem” or “Summer Friends.” Head here to show your support for Chance, and check out his tweets detailing the initiative below.
