I really like the reggae concepts like the culture vibe. They speak on everything that's going on, they don't have limits. They speak on politics, they speak on life, they speak on the troubles of poverty, everything. The message, the melodies and the concepts of reggae music are unbelievable.

With everything that is going on with hip-hop and with what everybody is doing I don't want to be in that lane. I think my lane is very different.

To put it in my music, that's not the message I am trying to send out. That's not the type of artist I am trying to be.

Jamaica is kind of similar to Miami, but to go from there to Miami, and then Miami to L.A., it's crazy.

I breathe, I sleep, I eat music. Music is what I wanted to do.

I think country has the biggest melodies ever.

My mom, she got taken away from me when I was 14 years old. She is incarcerated. My sister was incarcerated. I was homeless. When my mom went away when I was 14... I was forced to live with my aunt. My aunt, she doesn't like rap music. She thinks rap music is the devil's music. Basically she said, "Yo, if you are going to do music you can't do it in my house."
