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.

I'm someone that examines culture and tries to break down why things are the way that they are whether its hip-hop music, sex, race, or consumerism. I try to examine it and scrutinize it to the point where I can write a song.

I played baseball up until my freshman year of high school. That was my main sport. I played third base.

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

I grew up in the spoken-word community. Before everybody had a home studio, or before we could get booked for shows, open mics were the only way to be heard by other people. It really gave me a chance to develop as a performer. Reading a piece of poetry with no beat in front of 20 people is way more challenging than rocking for 10,000 people.

My relationship with God is as strong as the time and energy I put into connecting with God.

I'm a very conceptual writer.
