Samples are kind of my instrument of choice.

I want to make new and interesting music out of pop music in a way that isn't ironic. I want to stay sincere to the source material but at the same time manipulate it and take it to a new world.

I like to use recognizable songs, but other than that, this song would be perfect.

I guess in a way I try to avoid being labeled as a traditional DJ.

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

The goal for me is, I build the record that I put out as one individual song. Even though it's broken up into tracks, to me it's like one hour-long piece of music. In assembling the whole thing, I'm really thinking, okay, it's gonna end here, it's gonna start here, and I kind of have the idea of the journey.

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.
