Chance the Rapper on 'Coloring Book': Labels Make Collaborations 'Really Hard'

FUSE TV - Chance the Rapper on 'Coloring Book': Labels Make Collaborations 'Really Hard'

Chance the Rapper's disdain for the record industry is nothing new, and even though the Chicago MC has released three critically acclaimed mixtapes without the help of a label, he says the industry is still making it "really hard" for him to do what he does best. 

In a wide-ranging interview with Zane Lowe on Beats 1 Radio on Tuesday (May 24), Chance explained that a few collaborations with J. ColeBig Sean and Jeremih were expunged from his latest album Coloring Book, because the other artists' labels didn't approve of their contributions.
