On Sunday, Chance the Rapper became the first artist to win a Grammy award without selling physical copies of his music - or selling much of his music at all. He won three Grammys (best new artist, best rap album and best rap performance), defeating the likes of Kanye West, Drake and DJ Khaled. Later, he was joined by Kirk Franklin and other singers for a performance of Colouring Book's ‘How Great’ and ‘All We Got’. They were accompanied by a huge gospel choir who helped them end the triumphant night in true Sunday worship fashion. ‘Ya better stand up right now and stop playing, I'm worshipping my God. He's powerful, merciful, worthy’, Chance declared while he and Franklin went back and forth praising God at the mainstream awards ceremony. Earlier in the evening, he said, ‘I want to thank God for my mother and my father, who supported me since I was young, for Kirsten, for Kensli, for all of Chicago, and I want to thank God for putting amazing people in my life.’ The 23-year-old rapper from Chicago releases his songs online without charge.
