NASHVILLE, Tenn.--- Chance the Rapper performed for a sold-out
crowd on Nov. 26 at The Cannery Ballroom in Nashville as part of his first
headlining show, “The Social Experiment Tour”.
Chance the Rapper is an independent Hip-Hop artist from
Chicago who recently rose to fame following the release of his second mixtape
“Acid Rap” in April. He has toured with artists such as Mac Miller, Childish
Gambino and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. Chance has recently appeared on the
cover of Dazed and Confused Magazine
as well as Complex Magazine. The
success of his mixtape led to Chance embarking on his first headlining tour.
Chance first came to Nashville in July as part of Mac
Miller’s “Space Migration Tour” performance at Marathon Music Works. This
performance at The Cannery Ballroom is the 20-year-old artist’s second time
performing in the city.
The “Social Experiment Tour” is an energizing show that had
the crowd fighting to get to the front of the stage. DJ Rashad and DJ Spinn,
also Chicago natives, were featured as opening acts.
Also featured in the show was trumpeter Nico Segal. Segal has
recently toured with Grammy-Award-winning artist Frank Ocean and released his
own project “Donnie Trumpet”, which features a collaboration with Chance the
Rapper.
Peter Cottontale, who produced some of the songs on
“Acid Rap,” also supported Chance during the performance as his keyboardist.
It was announced by The Cannery Ballroom through twitter
that more than 100 tickets were still available for the show at 8:50 a.m. Nov.
26. Tickets sold out hours later.
Doors opened at 7:15 p.m. for the 8 o’clock show. Fans
had no problem waiting in the cold to secure their spot in the line that had
wrapped around the venue by 6:30 p.m.
During the show, Chance performed many crowd favorites
from his “Acid Rap” mixtape, including “Juice”, “Pusha Man”, “Cocoa Butter Kisses”,
and “Everybody’s Something.” He also previewed some new material for the sold-out
crowd.
“The concert overall was something that couldn’t be put
in words,” said 19-year-old Alexis Morrison from Nashville. “It was such an
energetic, mind-blowing experience. I swear Chance gets better every time I see
him.”
The successful show left fans wanting more. Chance the Rapper
performed a four-song encore before ending the concert. After the event, fans
waited outside of the venue until 1 a.m. Wednesday to take pictures and get
autographs from the young star.
“Can't believe 1,100 people in Nashville came out and rocked
a […] sold out house with me tonight- so much love,” Chance posted on Facebook
after his performance.
