I'm standing on a field full of landmines doing the moonwalk hoping i blow up in time

We look so much on color that we forget about the soul.

Everybody has their own way of hearing songs. My fans are usually pretty on point. Sometimes they go all the way to the bottom of it. It's fascinating to me how far an idea can go. I wrote most of my first album in my mom's kitchen, and now I can go around the world and hear people recite those lyrics, and understand the story, even though they're not from the same area I grew up in.

I really focus on what my fans will take from it, people living their day-to-day lives. At the end of the day, the music isn't for me; it's for people who are going through their struggles and want to relate to someone who feels the same way they do. I've got to go all-in, expressing myself, right there in the moment.

We're all human at the end of the day, making mistakes. But learn from them is the key.

I started doing music when I was thirteen; I actually started writing my first rhymes.

I knew I was blessed with a gift of having both parents.
