Chance the Rapper is a busy man these days; in addition to touring and hosting his own music festival, the Coloring Book rapper is also working with Kanye West on his long rumored Good Ass Job album. In an interview with a Los Angeles' Power 106FM today, Chance detailed his work with West.
"The Good Ass Job, that’s something that’s just been a dream for me," Chance told the Power 106 crew. "I’m a Chicago kid, so I’m a super 'Ye fan, and I used to watch all the YouTube videos and him speaking. And I remember just watching a video a long time ago where he would go on, he was explaining, you know, how you have your College Dropout, and then you go back you have your Late Registration, and then you finally get your Graduation. And after you graduate, you gotta go get a Good Ass Job, so that was a thing in my head forever," Chance said.
Kanye's Good Ass Job was intended to be the follow-up to college themed trilogy of Kanye's first three albums, but the long awaited project was seemingly put on West's back burner while the rapper explored other projects, such as the synth heavy 808's And Heartbreaks. Chance admitted that the album was still "far from done," but revealed that two tracks have now been completed on Good Ass Job. "We definitely have at least two songs I could say I know would be on Good Ass Job, but to be you know, back in the bunker and be at the spot and have that time to just sit and make stuff everyday is my dream," Chance said.
