And weed's not a drug - that's denial

As a white male in America, I have privilege. As a white male who happens to be an artist with a fan base, I have a platform to spread awareness about that privilege. However, songs about race and privilege are very difficult to A) write and B) dissect as a listener. They're heavy.

It's just way more fun making art, growing, grinding for a fan base, and traveling the world with a friend.

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

I can write for weeks or months sometimes and edit it down to a song. I feel like it's a piece of music that will hopefully stand the test of time and hopefully capture a moment in history if I'm doing it correctly and honestly.

The trust that I once built has been betrayed. But I'd rather live tellin' the truth and be judged for my mistakes, than falsely held up, given props, loved and praised.

You have major labels that are willing to take unconventional approaches because the old model is crumbling in front of us.
