I'm a very conceptual writer.

I like to be as diverse as possible. I think the humorous side and the serious side are both elements of my personality. It's what makes me who I am and if I was to neglect either one of those sides and just focus on one of them, it wouldn't be the full spectrum of my personality.

I'm not more or less conscious than any other rapper out there.

Thrift shopping is really just an extension of me being that same kid and going into a place that's completely unconventional that has really endless possibilities in terms of outfits that you can put together and really just expressing yourself.

Consciousness rap - a term that I don't think exactly exists but gets thrown around a lot - is not exactly popular.

I want to be someone who is respected and not just in terms of my music. I want to be respected in terms of the way that I treat people... Music is my creative outlet in terms of expressing what is important to me; what has importance, what has a value. And I wanna be respected for that.

This moon man right here stands for a lot more. This is the most important record out of all of them. Gay rights are human rights, there is no separation.
