Honestly I had no idea who the f*** this guy was until someone here posted a thread about his death.
Still sucks dying at such a young age.

I want to apologize to Surfer Sandman . I mistook him quoting my post before his response as suggesting that somehow Chance wasn't famous for rap and thus neither was Peep because he never heard of them. I was on edge and should have re-read it before I posted. I'm genuinely sorry. Music elitism doesn't help people to discover new genres. I don't berate people who aren't familiar with the kind of music I spin on the radio.

I pretty much listen exclusively to Hip Hop and R&B and I’m 23 and I had never heard of him until he died.

I wouldn’t say he was around AcidRap-Chance level, but he was getting a buzz. He went all in on that Emo sound, in combination with the tats and lean consumption, I could see people avoiding his music while he was alive. Honestly I thought dude was trash, but he had a moderate-size fanbase through his soundcloud page. Sucks for anyone to die that young.

OK, so you know of Chance not through having the biggest rap release of 2016, but through his hosting of a television show and you otherwise know the artist behind the most critically acclaimed album of the last year, but have no idea who one of the emerging voices who was sadly extinguished at the very start of his trajectory was. Got it. It is okay, if he knew of him through SNL. I am familiar with him, through the commercials he did. We're both Chance the (W)Rapper.Still love that commercial.

No need to grab your pitchfork because it’s already here...
