Watch Chance The Rapper’s Beats 1 Coloring Book Interview Before It Airs [VIDEO]

Chance The Rapper‘s music may be free but his time comes at a premium. Check out some clips from his Beats 1 interview that is set to air Tuesday [May 24] afternoon at 1 p.m.

Following in the footsteps of Drake, Chance The Rapper put his latest album Coloring Book on Apple Music and will also do an interview on the platform with Zane Lowe.

The outspoken rapper had quite a bit to say about his stance on record labels, the recognition of free music by the Grammys and the Chicago music scene that birthed him.

The interview comes just weeks after he appeared on the cover of Complex magazine. Check out the clips below.

The full interview airs Tuesday at 1PM EDT/10AM PDT on Beats 1.

On Record Labels:

“I don’t agree with the way labels are set up. I don’t agree that anybody should sign 360 deals or sign away their publishing or take most of the infrastructure that’s included in a formal deal. But I’ve learned to not be like f*ck this company, f*ck that company, even though a lot of those people tried to make it really hard for me to release my projects.”

Chance has also stated that record labels blocked Big Sean from appearing on Coloring Book.

On Recording “All We Got” With Kanye West:

“‘Ye says, “Pull out the MPC.” They bring out the MPC almost like in the gold suitcase in Pulp Fiction. He records drums in a way I’ve never seen before he does everything live off the MPC. As it plays now the drums aren’t mixed separately, all the kicks all the hi-hat are the same level. He does it literally in one take from top to bottom. He just stands there and goes through it and plays all the drums that you hear on the track as you hear now. Less than five seconds after he does that one take through he goes through and freestyles over it.”

On Streaming vs. Selling:

I think a big part of it is we are at such a crucial time in terns of music. The charts are already changing they’re including streaming. I still don’t necessarily agree with how they – it’s something like every thousand streams is a sale or something. I don’t know – I don’t really care about that but at least they’re making that move and I think the Grammys started making the move I think about a year ago they started voting on it – I don’t know because I’m not on the Grammy board anymore.

The wording is they can’t nominate a project unless it’s a commercial release. Because of this timing I think it was important to have these mixtapes be trilogized and be a thing that existed regardless of how the revolution goes. I know that I was not on the bus when everything was changing — I was like, “F*ck it, I’m still dropping mixtapes.” Now whatever is next I don’t really know. I’m a little turned off from making music right this second cause I’m still sick and sh*t and I just did a whole project but I know I did the three projects exactly how I wanted to and they were mixtapes and that’s where I came from.

On the Chicago music scene:

I think one, its a very cultured place. Chicago is a big city but it’s in the middle of Illinois and all of the suburban areas around us kind of create this wall of inclusive sound and sh*t. And on top of that we’ve never had a music industry. I think because there was no industry or big labels posted there it gave everybody a lot of air to make what the f*ck they wanted to make and bred a lot of awesome talent across all genres.
