Thanks to the addition of American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters, his shows are now exponentially more inclusive. In a video posted to Facebook, Chance announced the addition to all upcoming shows. He was joined Matt Maxey, founder of DEAFinitely Dope, an organization focused on bringing interpreters to shows around the world.

According to an interview with a member of the DEAFinitely Dope team, those who are hard of hearing or deaf usually are the ones who must request the presence of an interpreter—and it's very rare that the artist provides one themselves, as Chance is doing, and fans are thrilled.
