White House Invites Chance The Rapper for Annual Tree Lighting Concert

Lil Chano From 79th, along with several other iconic artists, played role in discussing the nation's Criminal Justice Reform and the My Brother's Keeper initiative, working with president Barrack Obama, earlier this year.

Chicago-based Chance the Rapper recently announced a returning trip to the nation's capital and, along with Kelly Clarkson and Yolanda Adams, is scheduled to perform at the White House's annual National Christmas Tree Lighting concert.

The event signifies the last of Barrack Obama's participation, as the affair takes place shortly before the country inaugurates its new leader. While the actual event is scheduled for December 1st, televised broadcasting takes pace the day after on the Hallmark channel.

Free tickets can be obtained via online lottery beginning October 7 through October 10, and winning recipients will be notified on October 27. For more details and info, check out the link below.

The 94th anniversary of the White House's Christmas Tree Lighting was first established during president Calvin Coolidge's term in 1923. A myriad of artists have been invited since then, listing to most recent guests such as Tori Kelly, Andra Day, and Fall Out Boy.
