I was a snot-nosed teenage skater at one point, who listened to only punk records and hung around people that had that idea of what is okay to do and what isn't okay to do.

I have a hard time repeating myself.

Hip-hop has never had boundaries - the more adventurous it is, the more popular it seems to be.

The goal is to make something that sounds new and different.

I realized I liked being in the studio and working on translating the ideas into recordings.

I was never in the business of trying to put my name out there - I was really focused on music and records and being in the studio.
