The first thing I ever put on the Internet was actually a beat tape, but the first thing I ever put on where I was rapping was called 'Generation Y,' and it was hella political.

I used to get stop-and-frisked every time I walked out of my house.

I enjoy making music more than anything in the world. It's the only thing that it's felt the same since I was like 15.

I saw Fear perform live at a young age, so I guess you could say I draw from that same energy.

I love soundtracks. I used to have three iPod classics: one with regular music, one with soundtracks, and one with demos on it.

I'd never been to a festival till I played one.

I don't know if there's anything Kanye West can do that can erase his influence on me, because it's here. It's already there. He can't even reverse that himself, because it's just so ingrained in me.

Rick Rubin is interesting. He doesn't wear shoes, I think? No wait, he wears shoes.

Rules limit you, and once you start thinking about what the audience wants or expects, it becomes a trap that a lot of artists fall into.
