Since the beginning of his music career and before he used his voice to be political, Chance the Rapper (Chancellor Bennett) has made it clear about how deeply he cares about his hometown of Chicago. Considering the rough circumstances he grew up in, and the city’s current issues, he still has refused to give up on it. With the schools suffering from a funding crisis, he asked for a meeting with the state governor Bruce Rauner to discuss the issue. When he felt that the governor didn’t give him the answers he was looking for, he held a press conference and announced a donation of $1 million to Chicago schools.
