There's no major label in the world that would have let me make video game music, then conscious hip hop. They want you to find your audience, your lane, and stay in it until it ends. I can't do that.

These kids know so much these days, and are bigger, stronger and quicker mentally. We just have to find out how to use it for good and not evil.

Kids are great in that they keep you on your toes. They're like a puzzle... in a blender, haha. You have to take the pieces out and try to put it together on the fly.

Teachers literally break down at the thought that if their students have a bad a test day, their job is on the line.

Many people think you shouldn't stop kids from being kids, and I agree, but no one wants the worst case scenario on their hands. Better safe than sorry I say.

I've had some parents ask me to do private birthday parties for their students, which I can't do, but it's an honor that they even ask. I love the feedback I get from parents on my music, it's so awesome.

If you intend on building a solid career, it's best to not worry about the major label approach. It's a trade-off that most true artists shouldn't have to make.
