I typically get around to most major cities at least once a year. I think people see that as their chance to go nuts for the year if they're into the style of music.

With rap music, there are billions and billions of samples that are uncleared that people have never been bothered about on an underground level.

I always like to borrow bits and pieces of things. There's a line between jumping on something that's happening and incorporating bits and pieces of it into my work.

It's hard enough to get things to work in a musical way.

My start came with experimental musicians and live bands. I never played with DJ's because it wasn't really the correct fit. It fit in more with someone using a laptop to create their own electronic music. When you're doing music like that, it's hard to get more than 20 people to come to your show.

I make a living off of playing shows; the albums only make me a fraction of what I make off of shows, especially since I'm doing around 100 shows a year.

I'm most excited about going swimming and riding water slides, shooting off fireworks, and playing basketball, and things like that. That's what I really love doing. Summer is a great time.
