Chance has now spoken a bit more about the upcoming album. During an appearance on Windy City LIVE show earlier tonight (July 11), Chance revealed that he is locking in with Kanye West this month in Chicago to work on the album. “Kanye West is my first image of like a free black man in the industry and I love him for that,” Chance said of his love for Kanye. When the host asked if Kanye even comes to Chicago anymore, Chance said he does but “doesn’t make a big deal out of it.” Watch the clip below.
