(AllHipHop News) Chance The Rapper has managed to elevate himself into A-list status positions (e.g. performances on SNL and GMA) without the backing of a major record label.
His latest mixtape, Coloring Book, even made history on the Billboard 200 album chart and helped changed the eligibility rules for the Grammy nominations.
As an artist, Chance is now also looking to alter his relationship with terrestrial radio.
The Chicago raised rhymer launched the new website RapRadio.com.
Text on the site reads, “Let’s bring independent music to the airwaves.”
Fans are able to find local stations and then tweet directly to the channels and their respective on-air talent to request either Chance’s “No Problems” or “Summer Friends.”
