A few weeks removed from the release of his acclaimed third mixtape Coloring Book, Chance the Rapper appeared on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 radio show for an extensive interview, which was highlighted by the young Chicago MC sharing some of his demos for Kanye West's ever-changing LP The Life of Pablo.

At the 20:45 mark of the interview, Chance shared an unreleased version of "Waves" he had done for the record, complete with additional choir arrangements that West subsequently dropped from the album version.

Following that, Chance played an alternate version of what would ultimately become "Famous" at 22:40, featuring a verse from himself along with a different beat chop. 

Over the course of the hour-long interview, the two also spoke about Chance's relationship with God, the mixtape format, and even a potential project with the mysterious Jay Electronica. Take a listen and watch video of their conversation in the player below.
