When you're a kid, you're only exposed to what's going on in your mind. The mind is like a bigger-than-outer-space type of thing.
— Theophilus London
I love to hear a cool ambient sound at runway shows. It creates a good energy.
I understand demographics.
I wore my same look for six years. My hat and glasses - people recognize me now.
What I sell is the higher knowledge of knowing what's next and not following the trend of what's now.
I feel I have so much more to deliver than music.
If I walk into a store, I'm going to buy the best jacket or the best item in the store, hands down.
I moved my studio to Palm Springs 'cause I don't like the idea of going to a studio every day like a job... I need to make a personal record, so I need to be in a house... I don't want to be in a studio where people can hear the music 'cause I don't know what it is yet.
I like to go to the airport looking stylish - you never know who you'll run into. Sometimes I have fans at the airports. I never want to be bummy looking.
Shout-out to my dad - he influenced my style when I was 17.
To wake up in the morning and just know what I'm going to wear, it helps me get out of the house faster.
Mixtapes are very personal, and they describe who you are better than an album sometimes.
I am more into guys' fashion, but I'm inspired by women's fashion in a weird way.
The first time I really listened to an album and thought, 'This album is mine,' was Kanye's 'Late Registration.'
I started getting emails from Anna Wintour inviting me to her dinners. It was just surreal.
Image plays a huge part in my music and in my lifestyle.
Dressing up, for me, is looking like an idiot.
I like connecting with people through technology.
The second album is the hardest to write. It's nothing like the first album.
To me, my style is comfortable.
I like to revamp things; like, I make to make things better in my eye, but I don't put out own lines... I just collab with my favorite brands.
I like vintage shopping, but I also like to mix in high-end.
When I want to choose to work with someone, you know, I definitely have to do some research on their background and how they were raised as people.
I love fashion week. It has great energy and vibe.
There were times when I was just listening to albums for the hype of it. Some albums, I would just put it on in my car, and me and my friends would just drive, that we'd wild out to, get arrested to.
It's not only about the rap lyric. Today, people are buying you as a person.
It leaves a good legacy to have five records.
You gotta learn your body, how clothes fit on you.
New York feels vibrant... It feels electric to walk the streets at night.
I collect different game hats, like Syracuse Women's Volleyball; I have a Navy Basketball hat. They're all vintage but in new condition.
I need to travel, of course, with my laptop, so I can do my business on the road.
I want to wear something that's not perfectly matching; there has to be something unorthodox about it. I want to create this mystery.
I like to keep a uniform - wear a blazer, try to keep the same colour pants; very tailored, very fitted but still edgy.
