Hopefully my music is medicine, some type of antidote for something or some kind of explanation or just to feel good.

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

I grew up listening to old soul

Some people come up and ask for an autograph and don't even look at me. They're like, 'Here, do it.' That don't bother me, but it doesn't open my heart.

The reason why you don't see people looking like me is because I don't encourage that. I encourage you to be you.

I view my hair and clothes as functional art.

I have a master plan as an artist. I've always said I'm not going to be punching nobody's clock. I will work as an artist to survive in this world.
