A couple years ago it was really hard for me to sing, because there's so much pressure in hip-hop to be a certain way. My biggest thing right now is doing me, because I'm not like other rappers.
SonRealI found myself at a time in my career trying to impress everyone. I was constantly thinking about what everyone thought of my music.
SonRealWhen 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.
SonRealEven when I write a song, lots of times I think - I wonder what my dad would think of this song.
SonRealThroughout 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.
