But it's also plausible that the young rapper has more plans for SoundCloud, with "Big B's" just his first step. Chance has been wildly successful in ways that most thought impossible, including three Grammy wins in 2016 as an independent artist, including Best Rap Album for "Coloring Book," the first ever streaming-only album to win the award Here are the two tweets that are fueling speculation, as well as, the new track. > I'm working on the SoundCloud thing > > — Lil Chano From 79th (@chancetherapper) [July 13, 2017](https://twitter.com/chancetherapper/status/885561915577126912?ref=hypebot.com) > Just had a very fruitful call with Alex Ljung.
