Chance The Rapper Covers Coldplay

Yep, sings 'Fix You'

Chance The Rapper covered Coldplay during a New York show at the weekend – check out the results below.

In a year dominated by hip hop newcomers, Chance The Rapper has stood out via his sheer virtuosity. Developing a unique sound, the Chicago rapper is only 20 years old but recent mixtape 'Acid Rap' could dominate the End of Year polls.

Stopping past New York at the weekend, Chance The Rapper played a show at Syracuse. Performing a cover of Coldplay's 'Fix You', the rapper kept it straight.

Singing the entire song, it's an oddly affecting cover which is both totally sincere and done utterly tongue in cheek.
