G Herbo speaks on Chance The Rapper's influence in Chicago.

Chance The Rapper's constantly put Chicago on his back with everything he does. Since breaking into the game with Acid Rap, he's used his platform to help others in his hometown, especially the kids. Chance is only 25 years old and the things he's accomplished within a short period, some might not be able to do within a lifetime. In a recent interview, G Herbo said that Chance has done more for Chicago than Kanye West or Michael Jordan.

G Herbo recently appeared on Everyday Struggle during his promo run for his upcoming project Swervo. The rapper spoke up about Chance The Rapper's influence in Chicago, along with his own and Vic Mensa. Herbo praised Chance for the positive things he's done in his career to give back to the city.

"[Chance] done stuff for Chicago that nobody done. That Kanye, Jordan, nobody's done for Chicago what Chance done." He said, "Things that we never seen done. Just to be part of anything that he apart of already is a blessing alone."

G Herbo added that people are trying to get Chance The Rapper to run for Mayor right now.

Earlier in the month, Chance The Rapper released four new songs including "I Might Need Security" where he revealed that he bought out the publication, The Chicagoist "just to run you racist bitches outta business."

Keep your eyes peeled for G Herbo and Southside's Swervo project dropping tonight.
