New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Chance Official Website) Brandon "
Chance" Harris-Little, has come to believe this wholeheartedly. Four years ago the then 20-year-old suffered a "stroke" that left him unconscious and in critical condition for 3 days. He says it came at a time when he was headed in a dangerous direction; and while doctors have yet to determine a definitive cause he believes it was a warning from a higher power.

Hospitalized for over a week, Chance had an opportunity to reflect on situations in his past. He says:
"I started thinking about how many close calls I've had and how many other people in similar situations didn't get through them; and I realized it had to be a reason I was still here and that I wasn't gonna keep getting these 2nd chances."
With a new found sense of purpose Chance decided to fully dedicate himself to music, a passion he discovered at 8 years old. Since then he has released 5 full length projects, over 80 songs and freestyles and appeared on mixtapes from popular DJ's like Tapemasters Inc., DJ Lazy-K, DJ L-Gee, DJ Bedz, DJ Mino, DJ Trigga and many more.
He started a college radio show, with partner Samuel "
Shine" Travis, called Crack Distributors
Radio (CDR) which has become one of the most popular and influential webshows in urban music. Having hosted artists like Maino, Nicki Minaj, Kid Cudi, Wiz Khalifa,
Curren$y and almost every other talent to break in the past 2-3 years, early in their careers, CDR has racked up over a million views, been featured on every major website or blog, and become a milestone in any new artists career.
Chance was also the longest running rumors assistant for AllHipHop.com. While many of his predecessors had a cold reception his daily column "Chance Encounters" was a huge success. His controversial views and "tell it like it is" style was a hit with AHH's 5 million monthly readers.
