Chance the Rapper has announced he's working on albums with both Kanye West and Childish Gambino.

Appearing on Complex's Open Late with Peter Rosenberg, Chance confirmed the collaboration with West that had previously been hinted at by Francis & The Lights, adding that he's set to work on the seven-track project throughout July.

He also revealed his collaboration with Gambino, adding: "We've got six songs that are all fire, but I think the album is going to be more than 14 songs."

Chance actually credits his busy schedule somewhat to West himself. "What’s cool is Ye’s kind of got me in a mode of understanding, just, your ability to multitask and work on different things." he said.

West has been firing off albums of late, including his collaboration with Kid Cudi, Kids See Ghosts, and his solo outing, ye. He also produced new albums for Pusha-T, Nas, and Teyana Taylor.

“Kanye is my favorite rapper that I followed without knowing for a long time, and Donald Glover was the first rapper who was like, ‘Come on tour’ with me," Chance explained.


He added that he was "at least 30%" done with both collaborations, though couldn't give any estimated release dates.
