I am a rapper. The reason why I was against the whole rapper title is because I know so many people who want to be rappers and they're not.

In this day and age of social media, where everything is so centred around how many Instagram and Twitter followers you have, what's keeping me afloat is the fact that my live performance is something that people can enjoy.

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."

I don't know [whether] if I didn't get paid, or my career didn't keep going where it goes, if I would keep doing music.

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.

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.
