Today's Morning Edition music is from Chance the Rapper featuring Knox Fortune with "All Night."

Chance will be performing at a sold-out show Friday night at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul.

The 24-year-old rapper's star has been on the rise since he played Rock the Garden last year. He won three Grammy Awards and is now selling out arena shows around the country.

He's using some of the money he earns to help educate the children in his hometown. Chance has pledged to give $1 million from the proceeds of his summer tour to the beleaguered Chicago Public Schools.
