Chance the Rapper's meteoric rise doesn't seem to be letting down anytime soon. The Chicago rapper recently sat down with Yahoo's Katie Couric at famed local restaurant Harold's Chicken Shack. In their 15-minute discussion, the two talk about his ties to Barack Obama, his decision to be an independent artist, violence in Chicago, and more.On why he chose to stay in Chicago full time, Chance said, "I feel a certain beauty to Chicago, to my family that lives here, to people I grew up with that live here, to people I don't know that live here. I'm a plant. If you uproot a plant and put that somewhere else, it's not going to grow the same. So, this is where I'm supposed to be and where I'm supposed to grow." Watch the full interview below.
