I equally love both, classic rock and hip-hop. I love all music, really, and I really use classic rock a lot. I'm heavily influenced by that melodically in my music. I can't really separate the two.

I'm not ashamed of anything that I've done because when I did it, I was passionate about it and I was doing it for a reason.

It's hard being a white rapper sometimes! When that happens you just need to battle through.

I'm from the South, and there's a different understanding of how to chop. There's a syllable play. It's a delicate art. Your accent has a lot to do with it. If you're from a certain area, words don't roll of your tongue as slick.

I do so much music that it's like a fog, and I can't even remember all of it.

I don't sit under the tattoo gun unless I'm sold on it completely and it will define me as a person.

For real, some of my favorite music is Mexican. It's something about the bassline and the drumming. I can't even speak Spanish, but that's probably why I like it so much.
