Chance the Rapper launches radio request service

Chance the Rapper has launched a snazzy new service called ‘#optioncee’. Music fans can use the Rapper Radio service to generate tweets to local radio stations, pressuring them to play Chance’s music. “Let’s Bring Independent Music to the Airwaves,” reads the service’s website.

Currently fans can request ‘Summer Friends’ or ‘No Problem,’ both from his recent album ‘Coloring Book’.

“The radio is like a huge listening party for people of all demographics to get in tune. In those moments it’s mad ppl in harmony,” Chance tweeted. Though ‘#optioncee’ is focused on his own music at the moment, it’s an interesting idea which could see more fans requesting music by other independent artists in the future.

Chance the Rapper is “going to do something special in” the city with the most radio requests, he says. Listen to ‘No Problem’ below.
