I'm on the radio because I love hip-hop. I represent that community, but there are so many other aspects to who I am as a person.

Imagine the first time you are about to rap in a studio and you find yourself in a booth with Redman and KRS!

I was hanging out with some of what my mother would consider the wrong kind of kids. With no direction, no motivation. I would hang out in the lunchroom all day, or the handball courts

The projects I'm working on are all diverse, but each represents a different passion for me. I'm constantly looking to stretch myself.

Always keep things in perspective.

The people I chose to work with me on this album are there because I have a personal relationship with them.

I love what I do because I get to talk to the people who change the game: the influencers, visionaries who make things happen in music and culture. That's inspiring to me.
