I was working with D'Mile - he's amazing! And I don't know, it was like that guitar riff was so crazy to me, and so I think I was frustrated about something that happened earlier and I feel like I'm just a good guy, I don't cut people off, I don't really call people out when they do stuff that they should be called out on, and I'm just always the one being the bigger person. So, that day "Gangster" just came out. That's just how I feel in that day to day life.

I feel like when I'm writing for other people, when I'm doing rap hooks, it's kinda like playing dress up for me...

I make tiny wooden people with bits of hair. Puppets and things like that.

The way I make music is unique to myself and the way I have lived my life - no one else would tell that story in the same way that I do.

There is a thread connecting you no matter how far away you are from someone and you know I have two or three relationships in my life that are like that.

I feel like it's very important that I'm doing what I'm doing, and I want to keep honoring that and try and do it as honestly as I can.

When I was young, I had idols that I thought were wonderful. I wanted to be just like them.
