Acclaimed hip-hop artist Chance the Rapper has earned a SoundExchange Hall of Fame Award.
The recognition honors the Chicago-native’s years of innovative, gospel-influenced rap music and his position as one of the most-streamed artists in SoundExchange’s more than 20-year history of administering digital performance royalties.
Chance the Rapper said:
I’m deeply thankful to SoundExchange for this award.
I’m honored to be inducted into the Hall of Fame alongside so many legendary artists. Nothing like this happens in a vacuum — I’m grateful to all of those who have supported me over the years. Thank you to SoundExchange for this recognition and their ongoing work to make sure artists get paid what they deserve.
