I treat all my projects the same. They're all time capsules of where I am at the time and what I'm thinking about.

I've been to Vancouver every year for the last four years, since 2011 when I came out with Murs.

I've been watching battle rap since that time period when Cassidy was hot, Murda Mook and Lux first when at it. That was a very pivotal time in hip-hop.

I've been thinking about that a lot too lately, These Days. I think it's becasue I grew up in retail, in costumer service. I grew up having to talk to everybody, having to sell to everybody so now that I can just sell me, it's fun. It's not even a sale, it's really just me being me.

I like to practice being still and I feel like that promotes a lot of positivity.

I try my best to be honest. A lot of the greats before me did the same and what you come to find out is that, when you have the opportunity to share your words with millions of people, you're not the only one who had that experience. That's the beauty in it.

These Days I'm feeling real good.
