After Trumpet and The Social Experiment performed a set with guest spots from Joey Purp and D.R.A.M., Chance came out to perform a few tracks and hold a moment of silence for Alton Sterling, the black man who was shot dead by a Baton Rouge Police officer Tuesday night in Louisiana, and others cut down by violence in our country.
