Something that distinguishes my solo work from normal rap production is that it has a lot of melody - it's not just cutting up a song and having someone rap over it.

Nowadays when you buy music its like you're donating to that cause, because you most likely could hear it in some capacity for free.

I've always enjoyed taking pre-existing sound, songs I like, songs I want to share, and manipulating them and trying to do my own version. So just knowing there's that potential for that thing out there that I haven't discovered yet, really gets me motivated every day.

When someone is buying a sample-based album, they are investing in the concept of that album. If they really like the original source material, they can go buy it.

Samples are kind of my instrument of choice.

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

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