I was going through a time where I was like man I wanted all of my clothes to be totally understated and I would do pop color with hats from a line called Ale et Ange out of New york City. They created all these hats and I just thought they were super fresh and the only way that I could really get them across...I was just like, 'Let me make everything mute and just put on the hat.'

I didn't come in as a writer that found producers, I came in under producers. So I've always respected the actual production process and producers in general.

I don't think I'm a collector. I think every kid from where I'm from had a terrible passion for having to have fresh kicks.

I don't want people to see what I've been doing at Play Cloths for nine years and built from a streetwear independence standpoint through Japanese streetwear - I don't want that to be shifted into something else.

Even with social media and where we are...everything is about the look.

Fashion is just really standing up in the forefront and it's being even mentioned at the same level as the music. I sort of feel like that's where it gets a little sketchy.

I find myself trying to explain more, and explain the perspective of my mentality, or the mentality I'm trying to convey.
