I do music based upon who I like and who I think has the potential to win. I don't really judge them by "Oh somebody is hot right now". If I think the music is dope and I think the potential is there, I want to do it.

Brandy is one of my favorite vocalists. Jay-Z is my favorite emcee outside of Biggie.

There's a bunch of people who sit around and make excuses for themselves and get upset with artists, but you already know what this is - it's an ego-driven business.

I watch artists say they wrote all these songs and don't mention anybody else who was involved, and that's fine. I don't expect an artist to give me credit. I know that they're gonna take the credit for everything. But, it's my job to give myself that exposure and not make excuses, not grow bitter.

I listen to all types of different music. I go to different festivals. I'm around music.

I really want to work with Rufus Wainwright. Michael Stipe from R.E.M. I would love to work with Kanye West.
