When I wake up in the morning, I've got a coffee and I'm in my own home studio just chilling... I make happy music.

I'm kinda like a needle in a haystack right now cause I haven't blown up yet.

Throughout the whole Stroll album, I'm breaking barriers. Whether I'm doing acoustic hip-hop, singing my own hooks or singing my own verses... There's always going to be people who don't like it, cause they're stuck in their ways, or they just don't like you in general... but it's been good.

It's basically me saying to the industry that I won't work within the walls in hip-hop. I want to put a twist on things, and that's what that song is all about. It's about putting a twist on stereotypes.

I think the new school is dope. Artists like Kid Cudi, The Cool Kids, Drake and Wale can come out of middle class homes and be on tracks with people like Jay-Z, who's from the hood and the street.

Not everybody is gonna like every track on my record ever!

I found myself at a time in my career trying to impress everyone. I was constantly thinking about what everyone thought of my music.
