Chance The Rapper working on (actual) debut album
By Andy Malt | Published on Friday 25 November 2016
Chance The Rapper is preparing to put out his debut album. But he already put out his debut album, you might be thinking to yourself. Just shows what you know.
“I’ll probably put out an album, that’s what I’ve been thinking about”, he said in an interview on BBC Radio 1Xtra. “I don’t know exactly the format every time when I’m making something, but a lot of times I have an idea, and I think what I’m working on right now is an album”.
What about all those other albums though, you’re probably still thinking. Which is why he continued: “My mixtapes have been confused for albums for a long time so it has to be something different”.
Yes, sometimes mixtapes are a bit too much like albums, so you have to make your albums less like albums. I think that’s a lesson we all need to learn.
Earlier this week, the rapper also cancelled three dates on his European tour – two in Dublin, the second of which was due to take place tonight, and one in Manchester, which was scheduled for Saturday.
Here’s the full 1Xtra interview:
