Chance described working with West as insanity and said he’s very big on multitasking.

He recalled a time West invited some coding people, a magician, and the woman who produced the “Lego” movie so they could figure out how to make him disappear on stage.

According to Chance, West came to the studio not just to record music but to give them life advice.

It helped Chance find himself as a young man and helped him find his voice in hip hop.

Chance and West once butted heads over a line in their joint song “Ultralight Beam.”
