Expectations are resentments waiting to happen

I learned from my teachers but became through my music

Sampling is kind of prehistoric, given the technology and the textures you can create.

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

A life lived for art, is never a life wasted.

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.

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.
