stopped by ‘s talk show on Monday (March 13) to chat about his first season competing against her on .

Wearing a denim bomber jacket with a faux-fur collar and one of his signature ball caps, the rapper appeared more than confident about the team he’s assembled for season 23 of the NBC reality series. “Do I think I’m gonna win ? I’m pretty sure I’m gonna win,” he told Clarkson. “Yeah! You know I’m gonna win … Yeah, my team’s fire.”

Chance brings a producer’s mentality to the coaching panel, which Clarkson admitted was a source of intimidation for her. “I will say, that’s been my favorite part, watching you,” the original  winner told him. “Because I don’t know if I’ve ever really done it with a full-on producer before. You know what I’m saying? You’re a rapper, a singer  a producer.

“And it was interesting to do the Blinds with you ’cause I was threatened,” she continued. “‘Cause I was like, ‘Oh wait, what? I can’t do , like, what he just did.’ It was cool. You were, like, producing during the Blinds, like, that was part of your pitch.”

So far, Chance has added sister trio Sorelle,  favorite NOIVAS and R&B crooner Magnus to his freshman team to compete against Clarkson, Blake Shelton and fellow newbie Niall Horan. Season 23 of  continues this week with another round of Blind Auditions on NBC.
