Chance too good. God level bars. — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) May 18, 2016

In his own series of Tweets, Chance spoke of the duality of being accepted as a peer by the older Chicagoan.

It's crazy cause I feel like I met Kanye the first time I heard We Don't Care. Like he's been there for me since 2004.

Kanye was there when I tried out for the talent show, the first time I knew a kid who passed away, the first time I got suspended — Lil Chano From 79th (@chancetherapper) May 18, 2016

But still, every time I talk to him it feels foreign. I still get nervous and starstruck. I'm still surprised when he likes my ideas.

Part of what makes this duality work is because he is by definition "One of A Kind". Therefore I've always known him and will never know him — Lil Chano From 79th (@chancetherapper) May 18, 2016
