In a 10-second video captured by a fan, Chance puts his own spin on the Future-assisted track. Surrounded by his team, he can be seen pulling out a mic as he spits his verse while the music plays in the background. It's still unclear when the remix version of the track will be released by Chance.

Chance had the best night at this year's Grammys as he took home three trophies, including Best New Artist, Best Rap Performance for "No Problem" and Best Rap Album for "Coloring Book". He became the first black hip-hop artist to win in the Best New Artist category since Lauryn Hill in 1999. Meanwhile, his "Coloring Book" album was the first streaming-only record to receive a Grammy nomination.
Chance's big win has received lots of attentions from hip-hop community. Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg and Just Blaze were among big names who expressed their support for Chance's victories. Meanwhile, Drake sent a text message to congratulate his peer. "CONGRATS BOI," so he wrote. "WELL DESERVED. I AM IN MANCHESTER HAVING A DRINK FOR U BROSKI. MORE MORE MORE."
The successful night for Chance also helped him earn some impressive streaming numbers. Music streaming giant Spotify reported that the rapper's streaming numbers on their platform increased by 206 percent one hour after the show concluded. In addition, "How Great", the song he performed at the Grammys, saw its percentage of streams rising by 461 percent.
