I am ultimately comfortable with what I'm sampling.

My dad's been one of those dads who loves showing newspaper articles to the neighbors.

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.

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.

I listen to music constantly, and I'm always hearing things I love that I'm excited to use.

It's rare when I feel like I can extract a lyrical message out of combining two things together.
