People love drama, and if you aren't really interested in perpetuating that, it keeps you from exploding on a mainstream stage. I'm totally fine with that.

To be honest, I didn't really get into making music to be an album artist.

I tend to gravitate away from the more trendy Ibiza style of dance music. It's not me.

I personally feel the need to experience life and new music and ideas before I can sit down and start writing music again.

I always managed to fly a bit below the radar, but high enough to avoid colliding into anything.

Cutting and pasting is the essence of what hip-hop culture is all about for me. It's about drawing from what's around you, and subverting it and decontextualizing it.

If you think of any long-term artist that makes music throughout several decades, you would hope that it's autobiographical and a form of self-expression, and that's certainly how I approach my music.
