I named my first album after my dad because I wanted to find him. My second album was named after my mom because I felt like I learned all my creative talents I learned from her.

I am the bridge between the East and the West. I don't want to abandon one for the other.

I don't really see a difference in independent and major labels. To me, it's pretty much the same. There used to be a difference between indies and major labels, but I don't think there is anymore.

There has been an effect of business rap on the output of today's rap music. But I don't think that's the modern day rapper's fault.

My experience has to be funnelled through a black experience or a white experience, or it doesn't exist, because that's how we're going to deal with the world.

I'd be very controversial if I said why, and I don't do controversial anymore. That's too passé. So last year. Being controversial is boring now.

Rage and grief are savage companions, but despair is the final undoing.
