Nowadays I embrace it all/Beautiful ideals and amazing flaws.

The key is always the actual art itself, the actual music. There are all these myths out here that like, if you do this little trick, if you use this little strategy, it'll do it for you.

I would just like to see hip-hop journalism in general take a step up and match the artistry. There have been great writers in music who are the caliber of artist as a writer as the people that they're covering.

My genes tie me to those that despised me.

If you don't believe inside yourself that you can learn a lot, nobody's ever going to do that for you. Nobody's ever gonna give you self drive. Nobody's ever gonna give you self esteem. Nobody's ever gonna give you your self worth. You have to set it for yourself.

Feeling is always first for me in anything. I think the only way for sure that I know how do that is to write songs about things I feel strongly about.

All the pressure I have is from myself. I have a lot of pressure inside me. I wanna be great. I don't wanna be average.

I try to make music that's really real. I've always liked music that makes me feel something. I'm not a brain first, music second person.
