Of course, this isn’t really a new venture for Chance: the check from Google will round the total amount given by the rapper’s New Chance Arts & Literature Fund up to a crisp 4.5 million dollars. <\/i>And\u00a0that’s just in the past year alone<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In addition to ya’know, just casually dropping off millions of dollars, Chance has also used his connection to Chicago to talk to local teens about the importance of understanding tax codes and give out a hundred, new pairs of Jordans \u2013leaving us to wonder, truly, is there is anything this man can’t do?<\/p>\n

Seriously, I’m asking.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
