I liked the idea of having a record that's reggae-influenced but not musically, just lyrically. I think there's so much about Rasta culture that's interesting. Just the idea of preaching one-ness, that we're all in this together. Which I suppose is at the root of most any religion. You're gonna find it, if taken in the right context.

I'm happy just because I found out I am really no one

Hip-hop music has done a very good job of maintaining the political context, where they stand and not giving a sh-t what people think.

When everything is lonely I can be my best friend.

I'm a real music fan, so I listen to all kinds of music all the time. I listen to a lot of what my friends or people I know are listening to. I'm always checking out new bands.

I like to feel the burn of the audience's eyes when I'm whispering all my darkest secrets into the microphone.

There's a very fine line between one person's reality and another person's fantasy.
