If there is one song that Chance the Rapper needs to cover, it's Nelly's "Hot In Herre," as heard on Jimmy Fallon's show 'That's My Jam."

The 30-year-old, who is known for his hit "Acid Rap," appeared on an episode of Jimmy Fallon's show 'That's My Jam," where he played the "Musical Genre Challenge.”

Landing on "Hot In Heree" and country rap, meaning Chance the Rapper had to sing the Nelly hit in the style of country rap. Much to everyone's surprise... he nailed it.

When he first spun the wheel and landed on "Hot In Heree" and country rap, Fallon and everyone else began laughing because how on Earth would Chance be able to pull that off? Well, if there's anything we learned from watching this show, it is to never underestimate the 30-year-old rapper.

“Wanna little bit of ah, ah, with a little bit of ah, ah” he began to sing, with a country twang, making everyone smile right off the bat. “Need a little bit of ah, ah, with a sprinkle of the ah, ah” he continued while adding a southern accent to his voice.

Jimmy Fallon was seen dancing on the side of the stage as the other celebrities on that episode of the show, including Josh Grobin, began laughing and clapping along.

“Then I’m leavin’ please belivin’ yeah me and the rest of my heathens, got it locked up at the top of the Four Seasons, penthouse, rooftop, birds I’m feedin, no deceivin', nothin' up my sleeve 'n' no teasin'” he sang as he really got into it and pronouncing the words with the perfect country twang.

By the time he got to the chorus, the entire crowd was dancing and singing along. Due to how big of a hit Chance's version of "Hot In Heree" became, it is only obvious that he needs to release a full version of the song.

“Never in my life did I think that was going to work!” Fallon said after he finished singing the hit song with his country twist.
