Chance the Rapper News Release


Chance the Rapper to perform live at House of Blues, LA
Chance the Rapper will perform live as part of The Social Experiment Tour at the House of Blues in LA. He will be singing songs off his mixtape 10 Day and his album Acid Rap. This unique Chicago artist will take the stage on November 15, 2014.
Chancelor Bennett, aka Chance the Rapper, turned a 10-day suspension from high school into an extended recording session for his appropriately named mixtape, 10 Day. The mixtape immediately turned heads and helped Chance get his foot in the door. His first album, Acid Rap, exploded on the scene and displayed his passionate lyrics and retro beats.
Chance’s high-energy performances have been leaving his fans and hip-hop lovers in awe.  In a recent interview, Chance said, “For me, performing is the biggest part of being a rapper. There’s nothing like the feeling of screaming your story to people.” His next show is on November 15, 2014 at the House of Blues located at 8430 Sunset Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90069.
Tickets are now available at chanceraps.com.

News Articles

The first news article I came across is about Dancing with the Stars coming to Niagara Falls. The story is informing the audience about the show coming to Buffalo and therefore is advertising the event. Mark Ballas and Witney Carson are mentioned as the first two official dancers to join the production. They go on to say when and where the show will air which is Dec. 27 in the Seneca Events Center in Niagara Falls. The quality that this news article is missing to make it an appropriate advertisement is that there is no call to action.

The next article titled Putting the Spotlight on Polish Food. It was about a Polish festival called Zupapalooza, where a variety of Polish soups will be available for in-house sampling or take out. This news article doubled as an effective advertisement because the writer did a good job of covering the who, what, when, where & why's. "On Nov. 9, at Leonard Post (2450 Walden Ave., Cheektowaga), a Polish soup summit of sorts will take place." The writer covers the when and where, and goes on ticket pricing and the types of soup that will be available. Finally at the end of the article, they say, "For advance tickets, call Lawicki at 864-6110," which is the call to action.

My final article is titled Kidney Foundation Plans Tree Decorating Ceremony. This piece comes across more as an advertisement than a news article. There is not much filler info, and the author sticks to short & concise sentences hitting on the details of the event. "Kidney donors and donor families will be honored when the Northeast Kidney Foundation of Greater Buffalo holds a tree decorating ceremony from 6 to 8 p.m. Nov. 20 in the lobby of the Erie County Medical Center Dialysis Center, 462 Grider St." The author gets straight to the point at informing the audience of this ceremony and also invites people to join the event. The last paragraph is the call to action, which reads "All kidney patients, transplant patients, donors, donor families, medical professionals and friends are invited. For information, call 512-7918 or email barbara@healthykidneys.org."
