I am very lucky that I have talented and creative people around me. Also, mediation has been a very big part of my freedom, because it allows me to watch all the things going on and allows me to focus.

The thing about hip-hop is that it's from the underground, ideas from the underbelly, from people who have mostly been locked out, who have not been recognized.

Imagine if you have a million views on a show and they say it's a hit on some cable networks. I could put out a piece of content that has 20 million views.

People are murdering each other without any recourse... So we need to get in our communities and work from the inside out.

I think the artist's job throughout history has been to tell - to say things that people are inspired by.

Hip-hop is such a wide statement of culture that everyone is not the same, and it's impossible to put it into one box.

Anyone whose mission is keeping people apart is swimming against a very strong tide.
