With his musical knowledge, mentoring abilities, and personal swag, Chance the Rapper is the coach to beat this season

Chance the Rapper needs no help in the hype department, his musical record stands for itself. He has won multiple Grammy Awards as an independent artist, never having signed a record deal, prioritizing instead making his art freely available. His 2016 debut album, Coloring Book, featured superstar artists like Kanye West, Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, Justin Bieber, Future, T-Pain, Anderson .Paak, and many more. He also recorded with the Chicago Children’s Choir, showing his dedication to working with young hometown artists and developing their musical abilities. His nonprofit organization, SocialWorks, continues this trend of giving back to the Chicagoland community by donating $10 million to “inspire and empower youth through arts, education, and civic engagement.” And now he’s lending his talents to reality competition.

Chance has an undeniable charisma to match his impeccable musical resume. It’s little wonder that he has unseated John Legend as the “4-chair King” on this season of The Voice.​​​​​ While his team has several of these undeniable talents recognized by the other judges, Chance also can find unique voices that have special qualities that only he recognizes. He knows that he can develop contestants into greater artists and surprise the other judges and viewers with their talent. When it comes down to him going head to head with the other judges, Chance speaks from the heart and has the ability to sway strong vocalists to join him. This season his team is undeniably stacked with an amazing group of artists that range in genre and vocal styles. Chance is the coach to beat on season 25 of The Voice.
