As a kid, there [on TV] were things I wasn't aware of - insecurities while transition from teen to adult. When I was around 17 and 18, I started seeing the benefits of this world.

I really wanted to be a part of that movement or better yet create that movement.

People respect us, they love us and they're entertained by us, so it's like when you trust somebody on that level, it's a lot easier to speak some real knowledge into their minds.

That [Louisiana culture] was all very new to me. I read books and watched documentaries, just trying to immerse myself.

I just owe it to myself, to God and to everybody who supports me and people who don't even know me yet, to just be fully intentional and authentically real with everything I do, say and create.

As a young, Black man, I absolutely feel responsible.
