My music is just as much me as it is everybody else.

Acting is something I've always wanted to get into - you memorize lines when you write your rhymes.

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.

If you can stand on stage and perform a record, you should be able to stand on stage and captivate the audience without the rhyme. You should be a master of ceremonies.

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.

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.

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