Chance the Rapper has just made history at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards from the Staples Center in Los Angeles held yesterday.
With the 23-year-old rapper's win for best new artist, the Chicago native is the first artist ever to be nominated and win a Grammy for an artist who released a streaming-only album.
Before this year's Grammys nominations were announced, the rules were changed to allow artists who were unsigned or released streaming-only albums to be eligible.
Chance is also not signed to a label, was nominated for seven awards in total at the 2017 Grammys, and won best rap performance for "No Problem."
While on stage to accept the best new artist Grammy, Chance thanked God and "all of Chicago."
Chance the Rapper won three awards at the Grammys, including for best rap album.
