Success is just being able to do what I love for a living, spend all my time doing it, connect with fans, and continue that for a long f - king time.

I think my style revolves around the philosophy that less is more, that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. That goes for my taste in design and in clothes, and even affects the way I approach music. I'm all about keeping things simple, and minimal, but being able to convey something powerful through that approach.

It's important to push yourself to get better at your craft - whatever that is. It's important to grow and evolve with each project.

If you think about rap and how it has become so much easier to record music and release it, and you think about everyone in the world being a 'rapper' these days, it's so much easier. But it's still as hard as ever to break through and truly be successful in this industry.

I see myself as a hip-hop artist, but I never wanted to make music for a specifically white audience. Thats not what I grew up around.

I was 14 years old when I started rapping and I was terrible. I fell in love with it though and when that happens with me I become super passionate and go all the way with it.

I think it's important to say something. If you're making music it's kinda' like, oh, cool, so is everyone else.
