Ladies and gentlemen, my first guest tonight is a three time Grammy winner whose latest album is called Starline.

Please welcome back to the Late show, your friend and ours, Chance the rapper, My friend.

This summer will be two years because you performed on one of our live DNC shows in Chicago.

That was beautiful there in the Auditorium Theater.

One of the greatest places I've ever played.

I love being in here because this is such an iconic space for the show and just in history of late night.

But like you coming to Chicago during the DNC and you know, special vibe, man, no audience, like a Chicago audience.

Your hometown Chicago, which people may not know, but

you know, I lived there for 11 years and I just love it.

I mean you must, your music is there, your images might be everywhere there.

Like do you run into yourself in the wild, if you know what I mean?

Yeah, like, I mean, I don't mean to say it nonchalantly.

What's really funny, I was just thinking, I went to Solveg in Chicago, it's like the oldest vegan restaurant in Chicago, this black owned spot recently.

And I ran into myself in the form of ad campaign with myself photoshopped in it promoting somebody's juice.

I was flattered, you know, I'm always flattered to see myself and you know, it was a healthy spot.

There's a social media trend going on right now where people looking back fondly, nostalgically at 2016.

Cause you know, sharing photos and everything like that.

That's the year you released coloring book.

What do you think of, what do you think of when you think of this year?

And also, I feel like that was a time where I was making a lot of music and I was working on.

That was the year that my coloring book came out.

That was the year that, you know, I made my first Christmas project.

So I was just really productive, I guess.

It won three Grammys and made history as the first streaming only project to win.

It was only in streaming to win Best Rap Album.

What did that show you about the power of connecting directly to your fans?

I'm asking for a friend who's gonna need a new.
