One of the living greats, Chance the Rapper<\/strong><\/a>, recently rendered a Tiny Desk Concert<\/strong> on NPR<\/strong>. Funny, given his standard shows these days in front of 20,000+ people. Watch below as Chance<\/strong> performs his own Juke Jam<\/strong><\/em>, recites his poignant new poem The Other Side<\/strong><\/em> and delivers a stunning cover of Stevie Wonder’s They Won’t Go When I Go<\/em><\/strong> (“for somebody close to me who just lost somebody close to them”). \u00a0Chance is backed by Social Experiment<\/strong> members\u00a0Nico Segal<\/strong> (trumpet), Peter Wilkins<\/strong> (keys), Rachele Robinson<\/strong> (background vocals), Ben Lusher<\/strong> (background vocals), Elliot Skinner<\/strong> (background vocals), Richard Saunders<\/strong> (background vocals) and Greg Landfair Jr.<\/strong>, aka “Stix<\/strong>” (drums). They Won’t Go When I Go<\/em><\/strong>, is worth the price of admission alone, with\u00a0Chance<\/strong> looking skyward, the ensemble rolling inspirationally, and Wonder’s<\/strong> worthy words: “And I’ll go where I’ve longed, to go so long, away from tears, and they won’t go where I go.” Amen.<\/p>\n
