XXL spoke to Wiley back in 2013 about his relationship with Chance the Rapper and he revealed that he's been boys with Chance since grade school. "I went to grammar school with Chance, my dad and his mom went to high school together. #10Day was pretty much done, and that song “Windows” was already out, and he called me and said, “I want you to put a verse on it and add some bounce to this song, just do what you do. But I need it tomorrow.” And the way [Kembe and I] were writing at the time, I was nervous about writing at the time, so it took longer. The way we wrote, we would play these beats and come up with our hooks, and then I would go sit in the bathroom and write my verses. So we did that with the “Windows” joint, and I recorded it and sent it over that night. And that was that. He just felt like the song needed something, and felt that I could add to it."
