Bennett began listening to hip-hop after hearing “Through the Wire” by Ye on the radio while walking through Hyde Park, Chicago. After finding out the song was on West’s debut album The College Dropout, Bennett purchased the album, making it the first hip-hop album that Bennett listened to. Bennett considers Ye a huge influence on him and has said that he was inspired to begin rapping by Ye. Bennett and Ye met each other in August 2014 at Bonnaroo Music Festival.
In 2016, Chance the Rapper released his third mixtape, Coloring Book, which garnered further critical acclaim and attention. It earned him three Grammy Awards, including the award for Best Rap Album; upon winning, it became the first streaming-only album to win a Grammy Award, and peaked at number eight on the Billboard 200.
In August 2017, Bennett headlined day three of Lollapalooza at Grant Park in his hometown of Chicago. His performance drew record crowds, with some estimates making it the largest attended performance in the event’s history. He performed with others, including The Killers, Muse, Arcade Fire, The xx, Lorde, blink-182, Justice, Alt-J, Run the Jewels, Big Sean, The Shins and Ryan Adams.
