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.

I write to the beat and let life play the guitar strings

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.

No freedom til we're equal...damn right I support it.

It's been so long since I've really truly felt what it's like to live life without substances to help. Massive struggle that's natural to one's health, but with addiction in my blood I play the cards I was dealt.

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.

You can only watch injustice go on for so long until you're compelled to say something. To speak out against it.
