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

I'm a very conceptual writer.

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

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.

Music is therapy. Music moves people. It connects people in ways that no other medium can. It pulls heart strings. It acts as medicine.

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.
