Two big name rappers with Chicago roots, Chance the Rapper and Ludacris (Oak Park, IL), surprised Chicago Public Schools students this week with a surprise appearance at Alcott College Prep, for the “Get Schooled, Get Connected” program. So far the program has been very successful, which helps connect youth across the country with online educational resources to help with their high school to college transition. It is always great to see Chance give back to the community, as this is just one of many events that Chance the Rapper has hosted or attended to give back to the Chicago youth. Check out some photos below, as friend of the site Jesus Montero was there to capture some of the best moments from the event.

For those who have yet to hear, producer Nigel Holt (HOLT) is Kanye West’s newest artist on G.O.O.D. Music.

Check out HOLT’s self directed music video below for ‘Nightcall’ (with Emily Morse), a cover of Kavinsky’s ‘Nightcall‘ from the 2011 film Drive. This track is definitely a good indication of his album to come, where there will be no rapping, only singing and some GOOD beats.
