Chance The Rapper Says Kanye West Almost Narrated ‘Surf’ Album

Chance The Rapper recently sat down with The Guardian following his performance at the Pitchfork Music Festival. Chano shared details surrounding his relationship with Kanye West and 'Ye's involvement with Surf, Chance's collaborative project with Donnie Trumpet and The Social Experiment.

"The kid in me wanted a certain type of approval [from Kanye],” said Chance. He later admits to once wanting "Kanye to be [his] dad." Yeezy and the 22-year-old rising star have been putting in time in the studio, working on an undisclosed collaboration. According to former XXL Freshman, Yeezy was also supposed to appear on Surf.

"Yah, he was going to narrate it at one point," said Chano. "In the final weeks of getting ready to put it out we had vocal chops that we were using from ’Ye talking about some of the themes of the project. Through just thinking about it, it didn’t end up happening that way. Not to say it wouldn’t have been dope as shit!"

As the interview progressed, Chance expanded on his plans for his career and the forthcoming changes along the way. The Chi-town MC also explains why he drops his music for free and expresses his desire to continue working on the legacy he'll leave behind as an artist.
