Chance the Rapper made history Tuesday with his streaming only mixtape, Coloring Book, being the first in the academy’s history to be nominated for the award after the Grammy Awards officially changed their eligibility rules this year. “Glory be to God. I’m nominated for 7 #grammys. Thank you to everyone who worked on Coloring Book, I love you,” Chance tweeted about the news.
