Shouts to FakeShoreDrive for throwing up the story. For the 2nd time in as many years, artist Chance The Rapper is heading up an anti-violence event for Memorial Day weekend. With so many of the youth out and Chicago being such a turbulent area, movements like this should certainly be applauded and mirrored elsewhere.
We finna party and protest and protect all wknd. I watched the city go 42 hours without a reported shooting this same wknd last year

I hope a similar success to last year sparks an even more incredible streak for the city of Chicago and serves as a beacon nationwide. Stay tuned for more info and share your thoughts in the comments below.
