My parents were definitely encouraging with creativity.

You can't really run from your roots.
I was in a mental hospital. That's all I wanna say. I don't wanna say anything more.
I just make videos and stuff. There's not much more to it than that. I'm a musician trying to express myself.
I like working with my hands, need to do that more often.
As soon as my brain starts working on reading a book, my dreams get a little more exciting, and music comes a little more naturally for me.
I don't like party music. I like emotional music.
I'm still an outsider in the hip hop community. I don't even know if I'm making hip hop anymore.
I guess I'm just proud that I kept on working, not becoming just a viral hit.
If it was the '70s, I'd be a punk artist. I was just born into hip-hop.
