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

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.

Im a hip-hopper, and its something you live and do. It makes me angry that were misrepresented, that were being killed every day by one another, by the government, by the food we eat, the choices we make. It makes me angry because it doesnt have to be that way and it is.

It just works better for me to discriminate between which thoughts are mine and which come from elsewhere, before I even talk about them or express them - it helps to keep me focused on my path.

Now my record deal helps me to do things for free or give more time to my community than I could otherwise.

My hair is an aesthetic choice… At the same time, how you wear your hair is a political statement as well.

I don't require sex for happiness - I need companionship. I need a partner I can depend on, that I can love and grow with.
