Chain Smoker

Chance the Rapper's wildly upbeat "Chain Smoker" is off his 2013 mixtape Acid Rap.  Rapping about his vices as well as his virtues, Chance humbly boasts a message of self-acceptance and self-love.  The pulsing chorus repeats with increasing intensity until you find yourself celebrating with him, taking him into your heart, and dancing without reserve.

Since the creation of this video in 2015, Chance has begun incorporating projections of animated handlettering in his live performances.  I am proud to (probably) be the inspiration for this addition to his act and overall stage persona.
