Chance joins a chorus of artists from around the world, uniting to celebrate the monumental 50-year legacy of Hip Hop. With roots deep in the soul of Chicago’s South Side, Chance reflects on the profound impact this culture has had, not just on his beloved city, but on a worldwide community of fans.

Hip Hop has given rhythm to our stories and a canvas for our creativity. I am genuinely thrilled to join SXSW Sydney as a speaker and delve into the transcendent legacy of Hip Hop.”
