Chicago\u2019s crowned prince Chance the Rapper has announced plans to ring in his 25th birthday on April 21st with an event appropriately dubbed \u201cChance the Birthday.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

What we know so far: it\u2019s happening at new River North hotspot LiqrBox<\/a> on <\/span>April 21<\/b>, with all proceeds going to his <\/span>Social Works<\/a>\u00a0charity<\/span>. There are promises of \u201cspecial guests,\u201d but other than that, everything has been left to our imagination. If it\u2019s anything like the \u201cSuper Sweet Sixteen\u201d-level festivities we\u2019re picturing, it\u2019ll definitely be a memorable way to spend a Saturday. <\/span><\/p>\n

Tickets are available here<\/a><\/span>, with general admission starting at $125 and VIP tables running between $2,000-10,000. Known for popping up around town when you least expect it, we can only hope he’ll make an appearance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When he\u2019s not blowing our minds with his musical talents or hiring interns<\/a>, Chance is giving back to the community. He recently made headlines by donating a million dollars to aid Chicago Public Schools<\/a>, aiming to revitalize arts programs and bring relief to the most underfunded schools in the city. Many Chicago organizations, like the Chicago Bulls, have followed suit in pledging to the fund. As a parent to a daughter himself, it would certainly give him no better joy than for the next generation to grow up with more, well, chances.<\/p>\n

If there\u2019s anyone that deserves a great birthday, it\u2019s Chance. Happy birthday!<\/span><\/p>\n
