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 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.

I'm always gonna have the darker edgy music; it is always in my pocket because it comes so naturally to me.

I'm never in the mood to eat or drink when I get to a show. I'm just too nerved out.

You can usually tell when people aren't being authentic, but that goes for every artist, not just white artists.

I can tell you that when you're willing to give your life up to see a dream through, the reward is great.
