I look at the deejay thing as something - I'm good at it because I have my own music. I have enough rhythm to blend at this point.

There are staples to my show. I have to be conscious about switching things up because I know people who saw me last year will say, 'He did that last time.' But if certain things work, they work.

As an artist, I have to be a leader of my fans, not like follow them. Because if I chose to follow them, you know, they could do it.

Being called a conscious rapper is quite a compliment. It's a great thing to be. But as an artist, my nature is to not be in a box.

Honestly, you have to take care of yourself. That's probably something I have learned on the road.

Hip-hop isn't as complex as a woman is.

And you know, art as commerce, doesn't really make too much sense, they don't go together.
