Sometimes I start with the beat. Sometimes I can write something down and it takes me a while to figure out how I want to say it or the beat I want to say it to. I definitely like to live the experiences that I cover.

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 don't think it's completely better. I still have to do annoying things sometimes and explain things that I don't feel I have to [about LGBT].

Not to sound egotistic, but I've gotten kind of good at it. It's something that came naturally to me, but my rapping is rooted in my writing.

Now I'm in the business and I do have to have these awkward conversations about how I look, how I talk. But I'm still here.

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

There are two singles I did with Noah Breakfast, ["Talkin Greezy" and "New Phone (Who Dis),"] which was a cool experience. So it's cool either way, I think. It depends on the relationship you have with the other person - not everybody is going to work the same way.
