I'm hands-on with everything, always trying to reach the real people.

My dad was in the hood, he was a minister, and he would always put churches in the ghetto.

Ever since I was a little kid, there used to be the Carnival that used to pass.

It will be true work that the kids can follow, as opposed to a facade of you doin' something, and you're doin' nothing.

A lot of my music is very reggae- driven. Half of my life Bob Marley was all I listened to.

My songs are really never titled. Sometimes I call it one thing. then I change it

No matter how far you go, if you can't go back to the essence, you're not sayin' nothin'. The essence for me is hip-hop. But the hip-hop community I came up in isn't a loyal community.
