I'd always thought that if I could get sober and stay sober, I would be able to have a career making music. My drug and alcohol addiction was the one thing holding me back. I had finally gotten the tools to stay sober, and it was just a matter of writing the songs.

If I can be an example of getting sober, then I can be an example for starting over

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.

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

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

Drug culture is extremely prevalent and probably most people know somebody whose life has been affected by drugs, if it's not their own or in their own family, they have friends. It's a never-ending process.

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.
