Yea, his pops was with Obama since he was senator.

Chance mentions in that Nardwuar interview that he did some work on Obama's campaign

i'm not the biggest fan of his music, but it's great to see him and his family. coming from a black two family home, seems he was raised right. good for him. :salute:

Spike Lee is his real uncle...

A lot of people falling for his organic underground marketing fail to realize dudes family has MAJOR connections that not any up & coming artist just has...

Not a plant, just plugged...
I don't want to rehash the plant/plug debate but we had long suspected that he didn't get all the attention he got for his last mixtape based solely off of talent.

It's extremely difficult to get national attention as an artist without being connected in some way with someone who has either money, resources or relationships...

Dudes don't really make it just selling music out of their trunk and doing shows without some kind of backing whether it be financial or resourceful. Nelly was a rare case of a bunch of kids who made some local noise... took their McDonald's paycheck money, rented a van to Atlanta & got in Jermaine Dupri's birthday party & Mase's manager just happened to be someone who didn't play them Hollywood...

Most of these artists in hip hop are backed by someone who is putting up tens of thousands into the hundreds of thousands behind them...

The basement to stardom stories are rarely true in rap unfortunately...

CAA breh, they're not just going to manage anybody. How many new artists can get that out the gate?
