After performing what Chance the Rapper called “one of the greatest performances of my lifetime,” Anita Baker thanked the Chicago artists for helping her regain her master recordings.

“You should say hello to a friend of mine by way of the music industry and by way of helping me, helping me to get a hold and ownership of my master recordings,” Baker before announcing Chance the Rapper.

Baker revealed in September she received her Masters, tweeting “All My Children Are Coming Home.”

Anita Baker is a 40-year recording industry veteran and currently performing a Las Vegas residency. During her show Sunday night (May 29), she acknowledged one guest in particular: Chance The Rapper. Baker said that Chance helped her regain ownership of her master recordings from her former labels, which she’d been trying to do until last year.

“Would you guys say hello to a friend of mine by way of the music industry, by way of helping me get a hold and ownership of my master records, Mister Chance The Rapper is right there,” she said. Chance himself later reciprocated on Twitter, posting a video of the touching moment and writing, “I saw one of THE greatest performances of my LIFETIME last night! Thank you so much @IAMANITABAKER for being an inspiration and an icon to so many of US.”

Funnily enough, Chance has also had social media run-ins with other R&B legends that led to unexpected shout-outs. In 2020, Dionne Warwick playfully teased Chance over his stage name, leading to an invitation to record together. That culminated in their November 2021 collaboration “Nothing’s Impossible.”

Meanwhile, the 29-year-old rapper appears to be rolling out a new project, releasing a new single, “Child Of God,” and writing exercises such as “A Bar About A Bar” as he highlights local Chicago artists.

“I saw one of THE greatest performances of my LIFETIME last night,” Chance wrote on Twitter. “Thank you so much @IAMANITABAKER for being an inspiration and an icon to so many of US.”

Anita added, “Had no idea you would be in our Midst. Such a nice Surprise. Brought Tears, to my eyes. Hope Ms. Essence enjoyed her Birthday ABXO.”

Chance The Rapper Keeps Things Literal And Simple On The Focused ‘A Bar About A Bar’

by

Chance The Rapper is slowly finding his place in the spotlight in 2022. Truly, his return began with last spring’s “The Heart & The Tongue” which stood as his first solo single since his 2019 The Big Day. The rest of 2021 was fairly quiet for the Chicago native, but he found his way back to center stage through a number of releases this year. He teamed with Supa Bwe for “ACAB,” got introspective on “Child Of God,” flexed his bars with Vic Mensa on “Wraith (Writing Exercise #3), and now he gets intricate on his latest solo release, “A Bar About A Bar.”

Chance’s new track, just like his previous solo release “Child Of God,” arrives with a video that captures him rapping as an artist works on a painting nearby. While “Child Of God” featured a piece from painter Naila Opiangah, which double as the song’s artwork, “A Bar About A Bar” arrives with work from painter Nikko Washington. The song itself is a rather short one as Chance fires off a handful of bars about a bar and the brief experiences of a man who goes to one for a hard drink. The track arrives with a video that features a brief appearance from Vic Mensa.

At the end of the visual, Chance announced that his next single, “The Highs & The Lows” with Joey Badass, will arrive next month.

You can listen to “A Bar About A Bar” in the video above.
