Los Angeles Aug 10 (IANS) Rapper Chance believes he has an influential voice in society in the US and has even boasted about having a larger platform than the current US President Donald Trump.
"I just have a larger platform than all platforms. I have a bigger voice than Donald Trump than literally anybody who works in politics " Chance said on a podcast.
"I can connect with people on the level of appealing as a person who is still being a citizen as a person who does what he wants. But I have ideas on how to voice opinions and ideas that other people just don t have " he added reports femalefirst.co.uk.
The 24-year-old also stressed on the pressure hip-hip artists have where they have to project a "hard" persona.
He did however acknowledge that the scenario is changing for black musicians like himself.
"I think there s just always been a quiet conversation and joke that if you re not hard if you re not from an impoverished neighbourhood if you re not certain constructs of a black stereotype then you re not black " he said.
