A portion of proceeds will also be donated to Urban Prep Academy.

Team Chance and Team Herbo square off on the court to support local charities throughout the Windy City. They will be joined by Christian Combs, Val Warner, DJ Oreo, Ballinios Bri, Englewood Barbie, and other surprise guests.

The action goes down 5pm-9pm. Tickets $20 at the door, and kids 17 and under FREE!

About the event, Herbo commented, "With All Star Weekend coming to Chicago, I wanted to be a part of something positive that gives back to the community. Something that gives the kids a safe place to have a good time. Let's do this!"

Chance adds, "It's so dope that the city can come together like this and offer a cool entertainment experience for the kids while benefiting those less fortunate."

It kicks off on February 27 in Brooklyn, NY at Brooklyn Steel, rolls through major markets coast-to-coast for over five weeks, and concludes in Cleveland, OH at House of Blues April 7.

G Herbo's lyrics of life or death circumstances, extreme loss and adversity, has given a voice to underprivileged youth everywhere. Amassing more than 2 billion streams worldwide, G Herbo's is the most potent lyrical documentarian of street culture for his generation.
