I don't read music or anything, so when I produce, I go basically by ear.

I consider my musical ability to be a gift from the Creator. It's not that I try to work hard or nothing like that, it's a gift, it was given to me, and I appreciate it.

I'm inspired by Earl Sweatshirt. He's a really honest writer, and he's unusually intelligent.

He definitely does what a partner is supposed to do, that is, evolve you.

If you make a decision, a pact with someone, your friend, you should say, 'I'm gonna do this,' and you should stick to it.

Now keep in mind that I'm an artist and I'm sensitive about my sh*t

I'm a product of its [american] teaching, of its thinking, of its -isms, of its religion, of its education. I am conditioned, raised and developed by America; I am America. And as it changes, my thoughts also change. Because no matter what I believe, what the powers-that-be believe will affect me.
