Chance is a legend. We know this to be factual. So much of a legend, in fact, that he can drop a video straight off his iPhone, that was shot on an iPhone. That’s A1 synergy and oh-so futuristic. “How Great,” the Jay Electronica-featured bubbler on Coloring Book has been getting a lot of run…

All smiles here. Common and Jay Electronica will be hitting the road together for the Nobody’s Smiling tour, which kicks off next month in Las Vegas.
