I really don't listen to anyone that I'm not proud of saying that I listen to. Even if it's something a little bit more unexpected, I didn't get too deep into the Waka, Gucci records, but I like those with pride.

I'm a fan of hip-hop and I love it, I by no means am an expert on it.

As an artist, everybody has the opportunity to celebrate and speak their truth.

So much of your identity in junior high is built on who you're with. You see the world through the lens of how you identify and have been identified at that time.

The album ['A Seat at the Table'] really feels like storytelling for us all and our family and our lineage.

I actually produced other people's vocals for a long time when I first signed my publishing deal and I had just sort of decided that I only wanted to be a writer. I would be in all of these writing sessions, and a lot of times my publisher would say, "You should get a demo singer to sing it because then it doesn't identify as a Solange song."

I think every generation has that movement of hip-hop that you know you're playing it and you definitely have that moment of like, "Why am I saying this so enthusiastically? Why am I so stoked and psyched to say these lyrics?"
