For me, the creative process for me always starts in a personal place. I step away from my iPod or any records or CDs.

I'm a nice guy, but I like to get into trouble.

I know I'm a very dynamic performer. Once you come to the show, you're gonna want to have the album. I think it's more about showing people that it's OK to share similarities, but it's more important to embrace your individuality.

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

Underground hip-hop is, like, one of my foundations, I would say a cornerstone of my foundation of my musical tastes.

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.

Travel aesthetics should be just as comfortable and practical as they are fashionable.
