My homies in Gadsden aren't as exposed as I am culturally, which is awesome - that's why I love going home. I'm in the kitchen with people who don't know anything but the simple life, what's important to them, and what's dope.

Just because a rapper is white, I don't feel the need to attack them.

I equally love both, classic rock and hip-hop. I love all music, really, and I really use classic rock a lot. I'm heavily influenced by that melodically in my music. I can't really separate the two.

I'm never scared what people are gonna think about music that I make.

I don't sit under the tattoo gun unless I'm sold on it completely and it will define me as a person.

Skateboarding is a part of Hip-Hop culture. I think it's the fifth element of Hip-Hop - emceeing, deejaying, b-boying, graffiti, and skateboarding. Skateboarders live and die on the streets. It's expression - it's everything that Hip-Hop is.

Most of my albums have a concept. They all have some kind of theme, some kind of feeling. I really take pride in that.
