I want to be the first guy to help people accept everybody for who they are. I'm talking about colors, religions, sex, everybody. My music is for everybody, it's not just for one kind of group.

I hate the hype. When 50 Cent came out, people were saying that he was the best rapper alive: "Oh, he got shot nine times, he's better than Tupac, he's better than Biggie." That was all hype.

Ksubi' - the Australian jean brand, they're one of my favourite brands of just clothes and stuff, and the Swedish brand 'Acne', but other than that, not at this point in time designing. I wouldn't mind collab'n with those guys though.

I would not consider myself to be a quote unquote real New York rapper. I don't even like New York rappers.

All of the young people - the artsy people, people who get overlooked because they're weird or they don't have hype around them - need to get some shine.

People don't make albums any more. It's always about singles. I wanted to take that old-school approach.

With clothes, I like mixing what different designers do until it becomes a personal expression of how I'm feeling that day.
