Money and this:

Team Chance as it stands today is small but fierce and shrewdly effective. It includes his manager, Pat Corcoran, 23, a level-headed former promoter and blogger in Chance's Chicago-based Save Money collective; publicist Dan Weiner, who also represents Donald Glover and started working Chance for free after seeing him at SXSW in 2012; and superstar CAA agent Cara Lewis, who added Chance to a roster that includes Kanye West and Eminem among others.

It's a great time to be a flamboyant and terrible rapper.


Cara Lewis is a cheatcode. She has so many inside connections it's crazy.

Why would every major label be chasing an artist who has only internal industry buzz? He's probably already signed on the low and they rolling out the $ and connects to get the "perception" in line and get his "movement" off the ground.

Trinidad James had folks chasing him too but he at least had a legitimate buzz with that single. This dude has a bunch of websites who were paid to post his stuff. Not seeing the real traction other than dude rhymes like a fruit loop and furthers the ghey HipHop Agenda.
