I try not to be influenced when it comes to being creative, just in order to sustain my own voice and character. However, I do have many inspirations from the worlds of literature, music, comedy and film.

I respect anyone who's honest to themselves and able to bring that into their work in an entertaining fashion.

There is no better education than rap battling in terms of performance. It makes you fearless.

Standup is tough; if you are going through a hard period in your life, it is very hard to get up in front of people and be the happy guy in the room.

I'd always written rhymes but I was scared to share them. They stayed on paper or in my head, until I started going to watch battles and eventually thought to myself, "I'm definitely as good as some of these guys, and maybe even better than them".

No wonder this circuit failed. It says 'Made in Japan'.

I got into music via the competitions; the first time I ever performed was in a kind of rap battle, competing for money.
