Chancelor Johnathan Bennett (born April 16, 1993), known professionally as Chance the Rapper, is an American rapper, singer-songwriter, and record producer. He was born and grew up in Chicago. He released his debut mixtape ''10 Day'' in 2012. He gained mainstream recognition in 2013 following the release of his second mixtape, ''Acid Rap''. His third mixtape, ''Coloring Book'' (2016), was released to further critical acclaim and commercial success as it peaked at number eight on the ''Billboard'' 200. The mixtape earned a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, while a song off the album, "No Problem" (featuring 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne), won Best Rap Performance; it became the first streaming-only album to win a Grammy Award. Bennett himself was also awarded Best New Artist the same night. His debut studio album, ''The Big Day'', was released in 2019 to continued commercial success and moderate critical reception.

In addition to his solo career, Bennett is a member of the Chicago-based collective Savemoney, and is the vocalist for the band the Social Experiment, led by trumpeter Nico Segal.
