I started making music for fun maybe my senior year in college. I started rapping in high school, but it wasn't anything serious.

I didn't choose to be a rapper; it's just my talent.

I think when I dropped The Eulogy is when it became more [about] feedback because that's when Pitchfork wanted to review it and things like that.

I think what's keeping me making music - the money is great, but I make music for the visibility.

I was doing my music because it was fun, and I always was like, "If it becomes a business, or it becomes too demanding, or if people try to tell me what to do or control what I'm doing, I won't do it."

In the industry there's this whole mentality of working with someone who can open the door for you, but my whole thing is that I like my work to speak for itself. So I still do have that same mentality.

I do realize that I have a talent for making music. It wasn't anything expected, but I do think it's deserved, if that makes sense.
