Lil Wayne Brings Out Chance The Rapper At Chicago Tour Stop

by

One of the most exciting things that can happen at a concert is realizing that you’re getting more than you paid for. Moreover, Lil Wayne recently stopped by Chicago, Illinois on his “Welcome To Tha Carter” tour on Sunday (April 9). Not only that, but he brought out special guest Chance The Rapper to perform for his home city, and the energy in the venue was palpable. Furthermore, social media clips online show the two performing their 2016 hit “No Problem,” which landed on Chance’s critically acclaimed album Coloring Book. Even seven years after that collab, the two lyricists still seemed to have a lot of fun reconnecting and putting on a great show for fans.

Of course, that track wasn’t the only time the two crossed over. However, one of their sonic link-ups came through a pretty unorthodox method that Chance The Rapper employed back in 2020. For those unaware, he used to share songs exclusively on his Instagram, one of which featured both Lil Wayne and Young Thug, which is a crazy pairing considering their beef. However, apparently Chance either put two random features together or convinced them to put that aside for a quick and traditionally unreleased loosie.

Also, the Chicago MC thanked Lil Wayne for helping him reach Grammy-winning status, whether for his profile boost or for his guidance in the process. Said gratefulness came as Weezy announced Tha Carter V would finally see the light of day, which was a big moment for both fans and the industry. With that in mind, the two seem to have quite the close relationship. That persisted all the way to a fun performance at Chicago on Sunday’s tour stop.

Meanwhile, Tunechi’s been enjoying a highly successful and also quite intimate tour, as his chosen venues aren’t usually massive stadiums. During his shows, he plays a wide collection of his hits, but especially those from the earlier days of his career. Furthermore, it seems the New Orleans legend wanted to speak to the day ones with this tour, and he received a heap of praise for it. Regardless, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Chance The Rapper and Lil Wayne.

Polo G Reveals That Juice WRLD’s Death Made Him Stop Taking Percocet

Juice WRLD’s shocking loss raised an unfortunately common conversation on drug use within not just hip-hop, but the youth and addicted community at large. In the wake of his passing, many vowed to both keep his spirit and memory alive and reflect on their own substance relationships. One rapper to do so is fellow Chicago star Polo G, who opened up about the tragedy during his episode of RapCaviar Presents on Hulu. During his interview, he spoke on how the “Lucid Dreams” star’s absence made him reevaluate his life choices. Not only that, but it also changed his family for the better.

“It made me look at a lot of s**t differently,” the “Pop Out” MC remarked. “That made me stop popping Percocets altogether, though. ‘Cause I know he wouldn’t want me on that s**t.” Furthermore, his decision also influenced his father to follow suit, who spoke on his own thought process. “Being able to see that and say, ‘Damn, my son can get it together’ — I need to [as well],” Taurus Bartlett Sr. expressed. Sadly, this isn’t the only recent reflection on mourning in hip-hop that the 24-year-old offered. As a guest on the Full Send podcast, he revealed that he meant to link up with Pop Smoke in the studio on the day of his murder.

Polo G Reflects On Collaborator Juice WRLD’s Passing

“I f***ed with Pop Smoke and the whole Drill sound,” the Old Town native stated. “You know, coming from Chicago, that’s where that s**t started at. So, I really tapped into they s**t. I hit up Pop like, ‘Yo, let’s do this.’ He had been hitting me up in the past, but before I knew who he was. And then, when I seen they wave going strong, I hit him like, ‘Yo, I f**k with y’all s**t. Let’s do something.’ The craziest thing, I worked with him right before he passed. I was in the studio with him. He said he was leaving to L.A. I stayed in New York an extra day to make sure Fivio [Foreign] laid his verse [for ‘Clueless’].

“And Pop, a contact was telling me Pop wanted to get in the stu in L.A. the night he passed,” he continued. “‘Cause I live there, he live there. We was supposed to get up.” Further into the interview, he described the process of working with him. To honor the city of Chicago for their collaboration, the Woo asked Polo for the name of a popular spot in the region, which he included. For artists like the “RAPSTAR,” part of their assumed responsibility is doing right by their fallen friends. Though he surely carries that with a heavy heart, fans remember those lost for their greatness through others’ touching testimonies. Check out Polo’s collaborations with Juice and Pop above and below, and share your favorite moments in the comments from those gone too soon. Also, return to HNHH for the latest on Polo G, Juice WRLD, and Pop Smoke.
