When I was growing up, there were so many things I thought were stylish. Jabo jeans, V Bombers, Clarks, Vikings, Nugget watches, Lee pants with the patches, leather hats - which I still wear now. All hip-hop stuff, all South Bronx stuff.

There's no wrong way of doing art. It's an expression of the individual.

You know, I never did music for money. I did music to hear myself in the club, and to hear my creation on the radio.

Music is the universal language.

I started off as a graffiti artist in the South Bronx. My tag name was 'Loco' because I would go crazy and tag anywhere I wanted, in the weirdest places.

Instead of me keeping my art a personal thing, we can use it to save lives, change lives and inspire.
