As one of the four headliners of this year’s festival, Chance The Rapper will be a busy man for the rest of 2017. The Grammy-winning artist is currently in the beginning of his Spring Tour 2017 but was recently forced to cancel the European dates of his tour “due to scheduling conflicts beyond his control,” a statement read.

The canceled dates have some believing Chance may be working on a new album. If the rapper does release a new project, he may do something he’s never done before: charge for the record. “I might actually sell this album,” he told Complex. “That’s like a big step in itself. I kind of hate that I can’t chart, really. I can chart, but the way they have [streaming] setup is weak,” he said, adding that it’s “unfair.”

While Chance is working on new music, he told the publication he had no new album on the way. “There is no album. I can feel fans squirming in their chair,” he joked. “I’ve got songs recorded but I’m not working on a ‘Coloring Book’ or ‘Acid Rap.’”
