It’s Ralph Tho: Chance The Rapper To Perform With Ralph Lauren In Chicago Tonight
Source: Gary Miller / Getty Chance The Rapper is about to make some ‘Lo heads jealous. The Chicago rapper will be performing tonight (Sept. 14)(sort of) at the Ralph Lauren flagship store in Chicago.

Cole has the streets buzzing with the release of his latest song, but depending on who you ask, reactions are all over the place and it seems even fellow rapper Chance The Rapper has something to say. On Tuesday (Jun 16), J. Cole dropped his new track, “Snow On Tha Bluff,” taking aim at who many fans have deciphered as Chicago rapper/activist Noname. While J. Cole took to Twitter to address the controversy without naming his target specifically, he did state he stood by his words before encouraging fans to follow Noname on social media citing her as a leader. “Morning. I stand behind every word of the song that dropped last night,” J. Cole tweeted. “I love and honor her as a leader in these times. She has done and is doing the reading and the listening and th...
