I always go to my Kanye [West], Jay-Z. I go back to alot of the stuff that I know for sure that I like.

I'm probably my biggest critic. There's nothing anyone can ask of me that I haven't already asked of myself.

As I got older, I really got into Tupac's poetry, his books and just learning about his life and what he was into.

A lot of time when I'm creating songs, they're in real time. When I'm writing the song, I feel what I'm feeling for its full potential. As soon as the song is over, I'm like, I created art.

I'm friends with [exes] and they hear the songs. I can honestly say I don't have any exes I hate. They're artists in some fashion so they understand.

Go with the wind, you know, like a sailboat. I think that's really important when it comes to peace… inner peace especially. You can't help anyone else if you don't have it together for yourself.

When I find something good, I stick to it for like a month. I'm usually late on like other stuff. Kendrick Lamar, I can play that often.
