What is missing in a lot of urban music is perspective. You hear a lot of regurgitated perspective. It's a lot of: out at the club. Had drinks. Patrón. Big booties. It's this regurgitated idea of living in this, I don't know, one-night-stand moment that always starts at the club and Patrón. And so perspective, perspective, perspective is what I'm an advocate of.

Historically, black music has influenced other cultures and other genres and created other genres.

You can't take yourself too seriously. But always have conviction.

I'm a big advocate of music being an honest representation of who you are as a person and your perspective.

I want to be transparent, so I don't leave room for too much thinking.

I'm lonely and I'm still kind of searching for someone I can have a real connection with.

I don't think I live the lifestyle that's expected of a quote unquote R&B artist. I'm just not that dude.
