In the interview of Tribune Chance discussed how he might eventually start his next project. "I've never been against selling music," said Chance. "Music has value. I put my music for free because I wanted people to see it and perceive it as a beacon for what I do, in terms of non-orthodoxy, I wanted my approach and my delivery of every piece of music are. "[19659004] Historically, Chance published his work on free streaming platforms.His latest album, Coloring Book aired exclusively on Apple Music for two weeks before it was available for free elsewhere. He continued to become the first streaming-only album to win a Grammy.

As for his next album with Kanye West, Chance shared that their collaboration initially began when he visited the producer in Wyoming. "We are in the mountains around these wild animals – it's very different there – and we made music, then he asked me if he could make a album with me, "said Chance." I do not know yet a timeline, the trajectory of it, but he comes here to work a little more. We have just begun to do that, but I do not want to manipulate the situation and impose deadlines, because that can be a problem for you. Earlier this summer, Chance shared that they had to start working on this project in July.

Chance recently announced a concert to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Special Olympics. It will feature performances by Usher, Francis and the lights, Smokey Robinson and Jason Mraz, and will take place on July 21 on the North Island of Chicago.
