The Rastafari culture has a very strong connection to Haile Selassie, a descendant of King Solomon.

People treat you according to your energy or what you put out there, so what I put out there is very open. I'm not paranoid or scared, I'm open. That's how I treat people, with respect and speak truthfully.

Kids out there now have learning issues. Having mental issues. And everybody is looking towards what drug to give them, but is anyone looking at the food that the children are eating? What you're eating has a big impact.

I don't fight creativity. I don't fight against not being creative. If I'm not being creative, I'm not forcing it.

I want the people who listen to my music to feel the feeling that I feel, to cry the cry that I cry - justice. I want them to feel in their hearts the need for justice.

I'm not a slave to the recording industry. I have the freedom to make an album that I want to make and do it the way I want.

The idea of who my father is to me is very different than who he is to you, or to the rest of the world.
