I'm naturally a personable person. I feel like figuring out ways to have my personality shine through outside of just a three minute song helped. I have layers, there are many different sides to Torae.

As much as I make my music for me, I make it for the people who rock with me and follow me. They're the inspiration behind it.

Sometimes I listen to a beat and I think its so dope and I don't know what to bring to that. And some beats I listen to and I just love them as instrumentals and I listen to them when I'm riding around.

That's always good when you can bring out two sets of fans and supporters and then kinda cross them in between.

People listen to the beat first. So if that doesn't draw people in especially with the audience I cater to, they're definitely about that production.

Working with Preme is always a dream come true. It's never like "I'm here and I'm comfortable." It's always like that very first time. It's a lot of jokes being cracked and we have a lot of fun.

I never want it to be a point where I'm so comfortable that I'm slacking.
