I don't love all hip-hop, but I do relate to stuff like early Nas, 2Pac, Biggie, and MF Doom because they're also trying to escape a scenario.

I felt such a deep connection with dolphins. I felt like they were the only ones who understood me.
Lykke Li
I want to get my music out there. I enjoy playing shows I just don't enjoy airports. I want to be more creative, but it's hard to get into that zone on tour.
