Chance the Rapper on the joys and difficulties of preparing to host his first festival in Ghana, where acts like Erykah Badu, T-Pain, and Sarkodie will headline: 'It's almost not even about the music. It's about how safely we can gather and organize.''
The last night that we were in Ghana, we went to this spot, Laboma Beach, and just talked about the fact that me and Vic had played so many places in the world, but we never played in West Africa. Just being honest, I hope this doesn’t sound cocky, but it’s a lot of love for us there, and a lot of people that know not just our famous songs, but the album cuts. So, the appetite for that interaction and that live music experience was there. And the infrastructure exists, too.
I think just with everything that’s going on, the information that’s becoming more and more readily available to people, the amount of communication that we are able to have — you could really be friends with somebody on the other side of the world via Twitter, via text, via WhatsApp. I just think we’re in that space and in that time as a people to start having those physical connections.
There just seems to be a great barrier for us when it comes [to traveling to Africa]. Whether it’s financial or the lack of information or whatever it is, it just seems like it is difficult.
