After announcing his first ever tour in Asia yesterday, it appears Chance The Rapper has more surprises up his sleeve this week. Last night, the beloved “Drowsiness” rapper astonished local Chicago youth with an unexpected guest appearance from Donald Glover who performed his powerful, platinum-certified single, “This Is America.” For those not familiar, the Chi-Town rap star/philanthropist organizes a monthly open mic showcase at the Chicago Public Library for inner-city youth that empowers them to perform, teach and inspire.
