The fame and the money and all that stuff that comes along with it is all great, but that's not the sole purpose of why I make music.

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

I think that there will always be artists out there who think they need to sign a major label deal in order to be successful. And that machine is what is going to work for them - there's tons of examples of pop stars who need that machine.

I'm as honest as I can be.

The fame and the money and all that stuff that comes along with it is all great, but that's not the sole purpose of why I make music.

Reading a piece of poetry with no beat in front of 20 people is way more challenging than rocking for 10,000 people.

Strip away the fear, underneath it's all the same love
