I am not a yogi yet, but I aspire to have more balance in my life.

As far as hip-hop is concerned, I'm no expert and rarely think consciously about how I "represent" hip-hop.

College is a safe space where it can be hard to truly fail. The institution is rooting for you because your failure makes them look bad, too. New York City has no such mandate. I've had to hone and sharpen and refine my work here at a pace which may not have happened in other cities.

There's certainly a lot of noise in the hip-hop world now [that] I don't pay active attention to, but to the extent that I represent some flavor of what's happening in hip-hop - it's subconscious.

I don't know that I'm post-anything. I'd like to think maybe I'm post-bullshit.

There are so many ways to be and to be black at the same time, but we're finally seeing that full range expressed much more widely than before.

New York has been the best gift, in that the city pushes me to so many next levels.
