May 17, 2016 Good question @Mike Tyson Chances influence on ULB can't be questioned, especially after the release of Chance 3 I think the even bigger thing that probably has been pointed out is how he renegaded Kanye's album even with giving Kanye the song lmao
May 17, 2016 So then this is what you're telling me: It started off as Chance doing a reference for Kanye, then Dream came along, and Kanye did his part eventually, then Kelly did her part, then Chance did his actual verse, and Kirk did his outro whenever. Because Kelly says Chance wasn't on there at all when she got involved. "It’s crazy. This track had been around for maybe a little bit [before I got involved] but I got a call from Fonzworth Bentley, who is a mutual friend of ‘Ye’s and mine. He’s the one who made the connection. When the song started, ‘Ye was on the track, Dream was on the track, and it was Fonzworth who called me and was like, ‘Listen, are you in L.A.? I need you in the studio right now.’ I’m like, ‘No, I’m in Atlanta.’ And he’s like, ‘Ugh. I gotta get this done. It’s this track that’s kinda gospel-y but I just need people to feel God when they listen to this. I need your anointing on this track.’ So that’s how I got involved. That’s how Kirk got involved, too. It was really Fonzworth, who was one of the producers on the song. Kirk already knew ‘Ye from years ago but it was like a reconnection for them to come together on this track. It was just one of those moments that was preordained, like it was already written that it was gonna happen. And it did -- it came together so perfectly because I didn’t even have Chance the Rapper’s verse on it when I got it. [Producer] Derek was like, ‘Write what it makes you feel.’ What I sang is what I felt when I got the track and so when I heard what Chance was saying -- which wasn’t until after I’d written, sung and recorded my part -- I was just like, wow, it meshed. You would’ve thought we were together when the song was coming together."
