“Since I won, I’ve been spending time with family. I did some traveling — I went to Atlanta. And of course, I’ve been doing a lot of music. I shot three music videos.”

Chance The Rapper then gave D Smoke advice about how to spend his prize money, saying: “This isn’t like a lot of the other contest shows. It’s a non-contractual $250,000 that is going to you to be spent however you want it. I just want to tell you that the best thing you could do is invest in yourself.”

Rhythm + Flow, which has been called “Netflix’s answer to X Factor,” searches for rap’s best new talent. The first season began airing on October 9, with three episodes dropping weekly since, leading up to last night’s finale.

Judges Cardi B and Chance The Rapper have recently been looking towards next year’s US election, warning that “Trump is going to win again.”
