Poverty breeds a lot of things. When people are desperate and trying to survive, they do drastic things.

It's not like I go into the studio and say I'm going to try to make music to prove to somebody that I can make music.

When you do an album about Africa, you can't be too superficial.

I love hip-hop music, ... It's rebel music is how I like to speak about it. Hip-hop and reggae come from the same community as far as class...they both come from the bottom of society.

I record all night and sleep all day.

Did you know that I exist before the earth and did you know my eyes are windows to the world.

Music is an expression of what's inside of you. And that's how I make music.
