Everyone seems to have Olympic fever and that includes Chicago's biggest hip-hop star, Chance the Rapper, who debuted a new song in a Nike commercial centered around the U.S. athletes competing in Rio. The unnamed track takes some cues from the Muhammed Ali tribute that Chance performed at the ESPYs last month, containing a series of inspirational and patriotic platitudes backed by a simple piano melody. "We the people would like you to know, that wherever you go, we're right by your side," the MC sings, as stark black and white images of athletes flash by. It's inspiring stuff, though we doubt Chance will be performing that song at his music festival in U.S. Cellular Field next month.

Before you sit down at a bar to watch the Olympics, take a look at the video below (and keep a box of tissues handy).
