AceShowbiz - Alec Baldwin is now a rapper too. The actor was hanging out with Chance the Rapper in Chicago over the weekend for the Louder Than a Bomb youth poetry festival when he decided to show off his spitting skills.

A video from Baldwin's "performance" was then shared to the world via Chance's Instagram. In the short clip, the 56-year-old star rapped the lines from Carl Sandburg's poem "Chicago" while the 21-year-old MC beatboxed next to him. "This is me beatboxing while Alec Baldwin raps, he is for the people," Chance wrote in the caption.

This is me beatboxing while Alec Baldwin raps, he is for the people. Him, Alfred Woodard and Ali from Tribe came thru the city to help raise money for YCA, the organization that built and developed myself and @Malcolmlondon into the leaders we have become. Give it up for them. Beautiful leaders we can all learn from #Chicago #LongLiveTheYoung #YCA
