Watch Chance the Rapper Cover Coldplay’s ‘Fix You’ Live

Chance the Rapper Coldplay Fix You Cover Live Video

Chance the Rapper’s Acid Rap displays the Chicago MC’s diverse tastes and talent. That SPIN Essential showcases his tongue-twisting rhyme styles and smoky singing ability with equal aplomb (plus his ability to squawk like a crow), but it’s still a pleasant surprise to watch SAVEMONEY’s shining star sing a little Coldplay. In the clip above, via Highbrow Hip-Hop, we see Chance covering “Fix You,” an X&Y highlight that in the Rapper’s hands somehow winds up sounding a bit like Mount Eerie or the Microphones. The man is currently on his Social Experiment Tour accompanied by footwork innovators DJ Rashad and Spinn. The fan-shot video above comes from Wednesday night’s stop in Syracuse, New York. Visit Chance the Rapper’s site for the full schedule.
