A fun, interesting profile of Max Maxey, Chance the Rapper's onstage translator for deaf and hard-of-hearing hip-hop fans (seen above signing Warren G's "Regulate").
Maxey's ASL interpretation is an explosive, code-switching mishmash of textbook American Sign Language, pantomime, and makeshift signs he's cobbled together for slang words native to hip-hop ("molly," for example, combines gestures for "pill" and "sex"); the way he signs is as worldly and wry and improvisational as he is.
