The point has always been to make music, it's not like I've always been running a giant money making scheme.

As the times are changing, you don't hear as many sample issues with rap artists. Part of that has to do with production styles these days, but the nature of copyright is also changing as the internet becomes more of a giant.

I do try to pick music that is from different worlds and typically doesn't flow together. When you do that, you get songs with conflicting messages, but for me, it's on a musical level first and foremost.

The traditional DJ world isn't a world that I come from.

I do have some weeks coming up in the summer where I will actually be in my house, and I love working on new music and all of that.

It's easy to hate on things that are close to your world that aren't exactly what you're doing.

The goal of the work is always for it to come across as original material, as transformative material.
