I think it's important to evolve and grow and take risks creatively, instead of repeating yourself and doing the same thing over and over.

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 suppose sometimes the lack of privacy can be a little hard to deal with at times.

If you get comfortable, that's how you fall off.

I was slicking my hair back when I was in sixth grade.

I always think I'm going to record a lot on tour but it's always hard to fit it in the schedule, and there's a whole lotta' other extra curricular activities that happen on the road.

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.
