The Chicago rapper closed out the 2016 ESPYS Wednesday night (July 13), with a chilling tribute to honor the late Muhammad Ali. “Lil Chano from 79th” debuted a new song during the critically-acclaimed performance. He was joined by Donnie Trumpet, Jamila Woods, Peter Cottontale, and Teddy Jackson to perform the gospel driven track.
Watch the stunning tribute below.
