Chance The Rapper Shares Video of Himself Beatboxing While Alec Baldwin Raps

Chance The Rapper has shared a video of himself on Instagram in which he beatboxes while Alec Baldwin– THE Alec Baldwin– raps over said beat. Baldwin’s lyrics are excerpted from the Carl Sandburg poem, “Chicago”. Watch it below.

According to the post:

This is me beatboxing while Alec Baldwin raps, he is for the people. Him, Alfred Woodard and Ali from Tribe came thru the city to help raise money for YCA, the organization that built and developed myself and @Malcolmlondon into the leaders we have become. Give it up for them. Beautiful leaders we can all learn from #Chicago#LongLiveTheYoung

YCA, or Young Chicago Authors, is a Chicago-based arts organization that engages youth in the act of storytelling through spoken word, verse, traditional journalism, playwriting, fiction and many other forms.

Baldwin’s lyrics, excerpted from “Chicago”:

” …for I have seen your painted women under the gas lamps luring the farm boys./ And they tell me you are crooked and I answer: Yes, it is true I have seen the gunman kill and go free to kill again.”
