I have an acquired taste for language, yet it is seldom an actual focus of mine.

If we're gonna progress as a people we are going to realise that, as one of my favourite poets says, the other is a lie. There are no other people. Race is a social construct.

I have offered myself to the inkwell of the wordsmith that I might be shaped into new terms of being.

I want to connect music to its highest power - which is heightening consciousness and affecting people's reality. That can't be done in normal ways, not according to my experience.

You change the beat up, you might change the way people dance to the music. If you change the way they move, maybe they'll think about it differently.

We all have different relationships with music. But the music is always there.

It's crazy when you see very little reflection between what's played on the radio and what people are talking about in the streets. It lets you know how far off we are from a real movement.
