Released in May 2016, Coloring Book marked a defining moment in Chance The Rapper’s career and a breakthrough for independent music. With the project, Chance became the first independent artist to win a GRAMMY Award, earning three awards, including Best New Artist, Best Rap Album and Best Rap Performance for “No Problem” featuring Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz. The critically acclaimed mixtape helped reshape perceptions around streaming, artist independence, and the evolving music landscape.
