Chance the Rapper Wins Best New Artist at GRAMMYs 2017: Watch

Congratulations to Chance the Rapper, who won Best New Artist at the 2017 GRAMMY Awards! The artist praised God first and included his daughter Kinsley in his acceptance speech after taking one of the most coveted gramophones of the night. 

"I know people think independence means working by yourself. Independence means freedom," Chance proudly exclaimed onstage as the audience roared in agreement. Lil Chano was up against some tough contenders in the category: Kelsea Ballerini, The Chainsmokers, Maren Morris and Anderson .Paak. Saying 2016 was an awesome year for Chance would be an understatement, who kicked things off by dropping his third mixtape Coloring Book in May and ended it by making our best breakout artists of 2016 list.
